I might need to change my trans, power steering and diff fluids - don't think it's ever been done. You have these on hand, Mike?
BTW, that Mother's Plastic Polish got most of my headlight covers cleared up. It's just some left over on the inside, now.

No I don't have any of that in, but I have the tools to do it. Just remember that the manual trans in the Z takes gear oil because it requires something thinner than regular manual trans fluid.

Well. I think it was an overall pretty successful day. Johnny was a no call no show, but Ty from the G35 side, Aarif, and Cris came down. On my car we changed the brake pads, bled the brakes, fixed my shifter bolt, painted my radiator fluid bottle, and installed my Stillen engine dampener. On Aarif's car we re-installed his grille so it didn't look so ghetto lol. On Ty's G35 he bent the heat shield on one of his Crawford cats so it wouldn't hit. And Cris's parts didn't get here in time so we didn't have to do anything on his car. After the work was done (by noon or so) we all went and ate lunch at BJ's Pizza. Thanks to all who came out. See some of you tomorrow at the dyno day!

5. Ty- Lower plenum gasket and upper plenum coolant bypass. (2 hours)
Just learned that the coolant line running through the plenum isn't to keep the plenum cool, it's to keep the throttle body warm. We should never need this in Vegas as it never gets cold enough to warrant it. Also there is a heat insulating lower gasket that I want to try out.

5. Ty- 350Evo Rear Sway, Stillen rear strut tower brace, new suspension (TBA), AEM UEGO A/F gauge. (all frickin day)
Got the work on my plenum done and it seems to work as advertised. The plenum stays cold now. I'm researching suspensions now, I may follow Mikey's lead on the Tein EDFC setup.
