well your not the one that knows this cars electrical connections like to give me **** every now and then with climate change or a severe wheel hop. lol. remember, i wired in the ECU and efi stuff and made my own ignition harness cause the dude i bought it from didnt send it with the MF. like, im sure it would make it and wouldnt be to worried about it since i have towing and such and also know how to fix anything on the car since i built it. but it just doesnt sound like fun. plus gas $$$$. lol. i wanna fly out there this msa. but if i do drive, ill prolly bring the 280 since its never had a hiccup in the 3 years its been running (we know the PO) and it wasnt running before that cause THAT PO had teh wrong AFM in it. lol. sold it for cheap as a non running car the guy i got it from poped in the AFM and drove off. he's a smart guy, but he looks like he's living in the 70's still. lol.

Also, with the additional investment you will be less likely to default on the note because it would sure enough hurt then. More good business.
If I were holding the note on this car, I would be encouraging you to spend money on it, lots of money.

SEA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT for Gas Engine Applications
100% Pure Petroleum
Use in All Engines in All Seasons
2 Cycle, 4 Cycle, and Diesels
Treats 3 Critical Areas: Gas Tank, Fuel Systems, and Crankcase
* Cleans fuel injectors
* Cleans carburetor jets
* Cleans carbon
* Stabilizes fuels
* Upper cylinder lube
* Removes moisture in fuel
* De-icer
* Frees sticky lifters
* Frees sticky rings
* Removes moisture in oil
* Cleans P.C.V. systems
* Cleans catalytic converter odors
* Oxygen sensor safe
How Many Mechanics Use SEA FOAM
In Tune-Up of 4 Cycle Gasoline Carbureted or Fuel Injected Engines
Autos, Trucks, and Tractors
1. With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.
2. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.
3. Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank to clean injectors, carburetor jets, fuel lines and remove moisture.
4. Immediate Results: Smoother idle, increased R.P.M.'s better throttle response and improved performance. See label on can for detailed results for use in each area.
FUEL TANK, CARBURETOR, INJECTION and OIL CRANKCASE.
For Peak Performance, Use SEA FOAM Every 2,000 to 5,000 Miles
* A 100% pure petroleum product for use in all gasoline and diesel type engines, both 2 and 4 cycle. OXYGEN SENSOR SAFE.
* Cleans dirty engine parts internally by removing harmful gums, varnish and carbon. WORKS AND PERFORMS INSTANTLY.
* Removes moisture from oil crankcases and fuel tanks.
* Stabilizes and conditions fuels. Use for engine storage.
* Cure hesitations, stalls, pings and rough idle due to carbon buildup.
* Helps pass emissions test. EPA Registered.
When Used Thru Injection or Carburetor
* Cleans carbon build up
* Cleans intake valves and pistons
* Gives smoother idle
* Cleans catalytic converter odors
* Cures hesitations and pings
* Restores power and pickup
* With warm engine running, SLOWLY poor 1/2 pint through carburator, throttle body or direct manifold vacuum line that will feed ALL CYLINDERS. Possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. Be sure exhaust is well ventilated. Fumes will be extreme for a short period of time.
* For use in injector cleaning machines, use 50% SEA FOAM and 50% fuel.
* Fill diesel filters with SEA FOAM to clean injectors fast.
When Added to Crankcase (Oil)
1. Frees sticky lifters and rings
2. Increases R.P.M.'s vacuum and compression
3. Cleans dirty parts
4. Removes moisture
5. Cleans PCV valve systems
One pint treats 10 quarts of oil (avg. 1 1/2 ounce per quart).
When Added to Fuel Tank
* Cleans fuel injectors and carburetor jets
* Cleans carbon as you drive
* Lubricates upper cylinders
* De-ices and removes moisture
* Diesel full conditioner and anti gel
* Stabilizes fuel
One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).
In Injector Cleaning Machines
Add a 50/50 blend of fuel and SEA FOAM into injector cleaning machine. Run directly through the fuel rails to clean injectors fast. Add SEA FOAM to your fuel tank to clean injectors as you drive.

what does ftfy stand for? so i can use one bottle to do the engine 1/3 in the gas tank,1/3 in the crankcase, and 1/3 in the throttle body throat right. please correct me if im wrong

to be honest if you have to ask where the throttle body is you shouldnt be screwing arround with the thing.
now hoov is probally going to kill me but to point out the freaking obvious
now if your insistant on screwing up an engine i have a 1987 maxima with out a radio that needs a rod bearing. no idea what happened other than something may have dislodged and got into the combustion chamer momentarily but its not there now and its noisy as hell. runs fine though, mabe i should throw in some 15-40
you could fix it, its got the same engine as the 300z and it would be a "learning experence".....thats for sure

dude.... its ****ing sea foam. pour it so it enter the manifold any way you can whether its in the intake piping, the brake booster hose any random vacume line that is on the manifold. its not rocket science. you. type google in the top. Z31. search. read. go to AZ-Zbums web site and read everything until you have it memorized cause i know your not a retard but you sure are talking like one lately with this new car.
