GA Z Owners Free Installs
 
I'm not sure why I haven't offered this earlier before as I have years ago. But I'm willing to offer you to come to my dads house to do installs for free. My dad and I bought a four point lift years ago to work on our rides. It has helped me many of times. So I'm offering this to anyone. Don't be shy to ask. I more than welcome you.

We have about every tool needed to do most anything. I've done almost every mod there is on the Z. So I'm very familier with these cars. I've done alignment kits, springs, coilovers, sways, headers (pain in the butt, won't do again), test pipes, exhaust (relocating EVAP), wheel spacers (with extended studs), intakes, power steering cooler, intake manifolds, oil pan spacers, oil coolers, trans flush, rear diff flush, some gauges, and my own turbo kit (turbonetics). I've also done a hood replacment, not really saying much but just to let you know of my background. We have a sand blaster and cutting torch. Which you shouldn't need but never know.

Where located in Jackson, GA (Butts county, don't tell no one lol)close to the Henry county side if you don't mind the drive. Now my dad does live down a half mile dirt road. But in it's defense it's a good dirt road. Not rough nor to dusty at all. So if you want to save some money maybe make a friend, I'm offering due to this is how much I love doing this game. Thanks.:tiphat: Plus we could take pics and do are own DIY reviews along with our own gallery. Take the weather in consideration for this month. I don't mind the cold. The lift is out side though. We want to enclose it though.

Very nice of you to offer!

SPOHN 01-10-2011 09:43 AM

No problem. I love working on these cars. Modifying is a great passion of mine. Really wish I knew more such as transmissions and LSD.

Z1804 01-10-2011 09:45 AM

Thanks for the offer dude. That's very nice of you. We may have to take you up on it when it gets warmer :tup:

SPOHN 01-10-2011 09:50 AM

When ever your ready. Aren't you local to me? I live in Covington.

Z1804 01-10-2011 09:52 AM

I use to work at Oxford College and lived right off of Emory St. when I was out there. So I'm very familiar with the Covington area. You need to come out to one of our GTGs and purchase one of our calendars :tup:

How far are you from Oxford College?

SPOHN 01-10-2011 09:56 AM

About five miles. What is the GTG's?

Z1804 01-10-2011 10:00 AM

Gathering....we normally head out to Z1 every other weekend because of one us is getting something checked or installed. I used to drive out there from Covington, so by no means is it a short drive. We also attend the GTG that occurs on the third Sunday of the month at G/Z meet. We also go to Caffeine and Octane every first Sunday.

SPOHN 01-10-2011 10:04 AM

Ok. I need to go out to Z1 and get some small things anyways. I should be able to go this Sunday to the G&Z meet.

Z1804 01-10-2011 10:09 AM

Definitely....We'll let you know when is the next time we're going out there. There's a good chance we might head out there this coming weekend. If not, definitely the next.

That's cool. That would be nice though. I do know that it is best to pull the motor to do that install.

My buddy has a four point lift as well but I have been hesitant to use it as I am not positive where to lift considering his has 4 pads about 4 inches in diameter. Do we have to fab up something that will use the lift points that the floorjack uses or is there safe places under the car that will work fine with the existing lift "pads"??

SPOHN 09-19-2011 04:01 PM

Not sure what your speaking of. Mine lift is the type you drive up on (ramps). Two point or post have two mounting points one on each side of the car. Each post would have two swing arms that you would align to the jacking points on each side of the car. Is that what your thinking of. I wish I had one. They cost more but you can find deals on them all the time.

So far as the jack points on the lift (the pads) they should be fine for there should be rubber pads. But they do wear and if they have wore so far there is a thick round metal edge you don't want hitting your pinch points under the car. But they last a long time. I have seen shops place wood there to help cushion but not sure how there mounted. So do some research before doing so. Wouldn't want one to slip. I haven't worked around them so I don't know the tricks of the trade there.

Carbon_z 09-19-2011 08:21 PM

Chris we should do a crazy *** mod meet at your place hahaha it would be awesome.... Header installs and etc lol

SPOHN 09-19-2011 08:25 PM

I don't know about the header install. I swore to never do that again after I did them on my 350.

Carbon_z 09-19-2011 08:43 PM

figured it would be easier on the 370z but Im not saying I have headers lol....

SPOHN 09-19-2011 08:46 PM

I know, you have a rebel flag to install though.:bowrofl:

Carbon_z 09-19-2011 09:59 PM

hey now...its work in progress it will all flow together in the end!! Coca Cola Carbonated bitches.

Red__Zed 09-19-2011 10:01 PM

How long did that take you? Where you on ground level? I know how much of a pain exhaust modifications can be when your laying down haha. Much rather stand up.

The Uninstallation took literally 4 hours because there was one bolt that we could not get off. The installation only took an hour and fifteen minutes. It was myself and 3 friends, so we had plenty of help.

We were on ground level, we had the car up on 4 jack stands. The installation was a breeze, everything fit perfectly, which just shows what great work tony does!!
