advice for a new guy?

[BH300zx]

oh alright thanks for the response!

[BH300zx]

so just curious what would you guys suggest as far as exhaust goes? I like what i have but i was thinking of going for something that sounds deep but not too loud. any thoughts or suggestions?

You should probably start by reading up on whether an x-pipe or h-pipe will best fit your needs, and whether you'll want resonators or not.

hey guys would you happen to have any advice on what to do to upgrade the side intercoolers?

[ThisIsSparTTa]

How much are you trying to spend? What are your goals? Godspeeds are well regarded as the cheaper alternative for stock piping. Z1/Ash Massives for big power and if you got the money. You'll need upgraded piping for those.

ehh not too sure really i haven't set an actual price limit just figured id gather some ideas then base it off that. but thank you all for your help!

hey guys I'm in a tight situation my power steering rack is leaking from the main seal i have been told it would be best to replace it but i don't know where i could find one you guys have any idea?

[DCaff300ZX]

Look for a low-miles part car or scour the parts suppliers online, I found a 40K rack for a reasonable price shipped a number of years ago.
Regarding the SMIC question, Z1 has a really good price on their upgrade SMICS that are great for medium HP and even larger HP Z's, and at $495 instead of the normal price of $848...that's the route I am going whenever I have $ for that upgrade.

hey guys had a question how can i tell how much coolant my koyo radiator holds? i have been wanting to do a flush and refill while also adding and additive.

[BH300zx]

hey guys so i recently put some royal purple injector cleaner in my z and now ever since then it sounds a bit like a harley, loud, rough idle, and doesn't sound continuous like its struggling any idea on what the heck happened to my z?

[BH300zx]

so i recently recovered some valve covers from a scrapped 300zx and i noticed that on the two valve covers closest to the top there are clips withing the valve covers and there are completely broken. my question is does this effect the car in anyway? is it going to be a problem when i put them on?

[NolimitZ32]

I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to, got a pic?

[BH300zx]

[NolimitZ32]

That's a pretty clean Z you got there, I like the black and red color scheme. As for the "clips" I figured that's what you were talking about and I have no idea what they are for, I always through that they help with ventilation of crankcase gasses. But either way I see no reason why they would negatively affect anything. Maybe someone who knows more about these mystery chunks of plastic can chime in.

[BH300zx]

thank you very much i have big plans for my z and hope to have show ready by the end of the year. but yeah these clips dont seem to attach to anything from what i see but thanks so much for your response hopefully i can solve this mystery...
