Hey everybody, I have been a member for several years and posted quite a bit when I was having issues with my Z. For the last 2 years though I havent had any major issues. :) I did get a used TT Rear Sway bar from BartZ32 and what a difference it made!! Thanks for the smooth transaction BartZ32!!!

As i suspected, this wouldnt last long and this fall the injector in cylinder #3 went out and my front lug nuts would loosen themselves every 2 to 3 days after driving on them. Since that time I have been gathering items and making plans to replace/delete things while I am in there messing with the injectors.

Here is the list of current things I have:

6 Brand New Deatschwerks 270cc SARD injectors
Deatschwerks old to new Style Injector kit with new plug ends
New Intake Valve Cover Gaskets
EGR Delete kit
New "Half Moon" Aluminum rear exhaust valve cover plugs
New Plenum Gasket
New Throttle Body Gasket
New IACV Gasket
New SPL Tension Rods
New JDM 370z 4th Low Tailight
New Greddy Magnetic Oil Plug
Water Line Delete
New PCV on the Passenger Side, wasnt able to get in to replace it long ago, I may relocate them as well
I plan to hide some wires, and possibly some fuel lines as well

Ordering next week.
APR Front Studs
Rear Ichiba 15 or 20mm spacers with extended studs
15 or 20mm spacers on the front as well
Greddy Lug Nuts
Possibly Tein S-Tech lowering springs as well, if i cant get them to fit with the wheels

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for any other things to replace while im in there? Suggestions would be greatly appreciated and if anybody wants a write up on anything Ill see what i can do while im in there.

And WELCOME to all the newcomers again :bigthumb: !!!!!

Hey man, glad to hear you're pleased with the sway bar! It was good meeting you, hopefully I can find a clean rolling chassis to drop my drivetrain in and we could cruise around sometime :bigthumb:

Eastwood is selling theirs for only $179.
Grab it, and rent it out when you're not using it. It will pay for itself. I paid $40 to rent the one I used for a few days, and rolled\pulled 4 cars to return the investment.
Keep the paint at a constant 50c while rolling. I'll have a z32 rear fender rolling video up shortly.
