96 300ZX brake pads replace & ODBII code P0110
 

I'm assuming since I didn't find any info in the forum about special tools or hardware needed for the OEM brake pads replacement that there are none. Is this right? I plan on replacing my brake pads tonight and morning and wanted to double check before I take wheels off. Was gonna use the lifetime pads from NAPA unless someone has other ideas. I like using the lifetimers because I swap them out believe it or not and NAPA always does it gladly. From what I hear the Zs go thru brakes pretty bad.

Does anyone know where the IAT sensor is or possibly has a diagram you can scan and email me? I read the ECU codes and P0110 was one of them. There were 4 others that must have been there from the original engine problems (or corrected themselves) because once I cleared them only the P0110 returned. P0110 stayed away (about 10 miles) until I turned the car off for pit stop but it returned after restart. Autozone said it deals with the Intake Air Temperature sensor--a $90 part from them. Not sure if I should replace it or troubleshoot other areas or if I can test it??? Anyone know?

The other codes that came up initially but stayed away (and I hope they stay away for good) were:
P0115: coolant sensor temperature malfunction
P0125: insufficient coolant temperature for closed loop fuel control
P0733: Gear 3 ratio incorrect
P1705: don't know cause, Autozone thinks it is a manufacturer specific code and that only Nissan would know
Like I said, these codes didn't come back after resetting and I drove it for at least 50 miles afterward in the city and highway. The temp gauge is riding in the middle when hot and I guess the P0733 is a trans code--but it's shifting fine.

Also, I think I'm gonna put the stock wheels back on to see if the wheel hop and shaking is the same. It should be pretty much from what I gather. I may sell the rims with the tires on them. If anyone wants them-shoot me an offer. They're Konig blacks with chrome. I can send you a picture on request. They're pretty cool looking. Two of the tires on them (Kumho 711s) are ok but the other two are shot from being worn really bad due to the alignment or otherwise suspension problem I have.

Thanks for any suggestions--I start my brake/rim swap project in 2 hrs!

The brakes don't need special tools, i think, at least the j30 didn't. And pics of the wheels as well as prices.:unibrow: And z's go through there brakes badd, cause people drive them hard duh.

Oh, I'm asking $700 firm for the wheels with tires on them for local pickup. They are 17" rims and the existing tires are Kumho 711s, 235/45 R17.

If you're not local, and want me to ship them, I'll do it for $600 plus you pay shipping which I guess will be around $30 per wheel/tire. I'll wrap in cardboard and take to DHL (or other) desk.

I'll probably hate myself for selling them but I've decided to stay stockish.

thanks!
