removing plenum update

[qship96]

Consider the difference in meaning between the two following sentences, and you will see how important it is to have a good grasp of the English language.

" Tommy went to help his uncle Jack off the horse."

VS.

"Tommy went to help his uncle jack off the horse"

One tiny difference creates an entirely different meaning, eh?

Bro not trying to be rude or nothing but I really don't care.I know the two differences but seriously I'm looking for help on my car not my English.If i wanted that I'd get a tutor.Thank you for understanding.

Good luck getting an above minimum wage job that requires sub 3rd grade reading comprehension skills and no writing skills!

And stay away from any horses, especially if your uncle Jack is around.

Okay, well at least I'm doing something with my self instead of trying to insult an 18yr old with lame a** insults.Good luck with your car I can see it breaking down in your future.

Oh don't wprry I'll make your rich a** seem like a poor a**. Anyways can we stop this girlishness fighting now.Thank you.

They only bring it to light to help, even if they don't realize it.

If you cannot communicate properly, then it makes it very hard for others to understand exactly what you mean and what kind of help you may be seeking.

The details are in the FSM, you just have to look more closely at it.

Here, this might help.

I hope I got all the plugs in the right place.Correct me if I'm wrong the L labeled plug from the KS harness goes on the passenger and the R on driver right?

You've got it backwards. The left side is always the driver's left side while sitting in the driver's seat. I believe Nissan uses "left" and "right" instead of "passenger" and "driver" in it's naming scheme, is that left and right are always the same, but passenger and driver reverse on RHD vs. LHD cars.

This is how I hooked it up:

L & R is from the point of view of sitting in the vehicle.

Front of car

Rear of car

Left side of car(driver side)

Right side of car(passenger side)

Oh I see. Well I posted a picture up before I read what you said just now so is that right?If I have them backwards I should swap them before I put the other half of runners on.

[unknown007]

Good and bad news:

Good:The car is almost done and looks so fresh.Hope it cranks over and runs like it use to.

Bad:I think im getting sick (knocks on wood) but i know im not!!! Also I had to custom make something.which I won't say due to people on here flamming on me,and I hope it works well. I couldn't take pictures because the camera had died. I'll get some shots tomorrow morning when I start to finish the car.

Today my dad helped me,thats a miracle,and all he did was complain on how difficult Nissan had made the enigne.In my head I'm like and you tell me to rush? He got cuts too like me,I almost sliced my finger today. but it didn't happen thank God!!!

Well I keep you posted all day every day there's an update.I recently figured the title should have been called "Affordable Plenum Job"

I wanna thank everbody on Nico especially Paul and Mike for provide some parts I need and hooked it up, and everybody on Nico that gave me some knowledge instead of flamming me.

Will make a video once it's all ready to be fired up.STAY TUNE!!!

Backwards. When you're sitting in the car facing forward - your left and right are the same as anything referenced in the FSM.

Yup got that down. Looked at my headlight covers and made more sense to what you and Raxephon said.

To unknown007,

Any time you want to work on my 96Q let me know. You now know more than Infiniti techs in Marin, Pleasanton and Santa Clara.We in the bay area have to deal with lots of languages, good and bad, and that's why Northern California will come out of this recession faster than anyone .Alexander

One issue is that most techs haven't worked on these cars for years.I called once before I started to get a quote and he said he hasn't done one of those jobs in atleast 10 years or so. Quote was 1k labor alone and he said it may come out cheaper me doing it alone.So i went for it but hey read the service manual the PDF one.I read the service manual once just because I was bored.It's very interesting.Just hope you don't forget things quick like I do.

Well check you email.

**********FINISHED**********

So I finally got the Plenum on.Took me from 11am-6pm to get everything on right and tight.Put it all and cranked it up.VROOOOOMMM!!!whooooo Sounds so yummy.

Well the issues:-Lost a trottle body cable bracket that bolts above EGR.-Got a ticking noise that sounds like the odd # injectors.My guess #7 or #5.Gonna OHM then soon.-Rev's too high.My guess is because I lost that bracket and I can floor the gas pedal and the car barely revs up to at max 3.5k. -At first it was blowing white smoke from the manifold and smelt like coolant.My guess it was coolant that was being burned.-I forgot to ground two wires but got it done.

The goods:-No white smoke in the tail pipes.-No leaks what so ever. Checked under the Plenum and still looks clean.-Car turned on. I'm so proud.-Engine looks clean.-Idles nice and smoother than before, though it idled so much in the begining it was like a massage chair.-I finished it even though people said I wouldn't.

To do's:-3 oil changes to fix lifter and take all the junk out.-Flush coolant 3 times also to take all the junk out-But air on my tires and get an alignment-Finally get my mods on.-Open up the headlight and clean them.

Well here's a video of the knock and pictures only a little bit tonight kind of tired.I also drove it up my block.

Congratulations!

Be sure to connect that bottom throttle cable on the right side... you can see the gap at about 13 seconds into your video. Glad to see it's done though!

I know I hooked it up now. Now soon I'll post runs.

[MR. Q]

That's whats up my Sir! I'll be graduating soon from plenum job! I give this thread 2 thumbs up

[unknown007]

I'll try get one more video or two.

[NightRiderQ45]

I'm glad that you finally got this job done! I'm happy for you man especially since a lot of ***holes were on here talking badly saying that you wouldn't get the job done!! Good for you man!

BTW...man take down the X-Mas lights lol! I saw them in one of those pics...

[unknown007]

I know they were right?Now they don't say much but keep shut. Proved them wrong.

What lights?If they were on the first pics then they are already down by now.If not it's laziness and saves time for next christmas.

[BLACKonBLACK98]

well done sir. i guess i was wrong. you got it together and running after all. i guess the only question is: how long until you have to do it again?

lmao at trying to correct someone's grammar when your example is incorrect.

tommy went to go help his uncle, jack, off the horse.

and who starts a sentence with "and"?

i guess picking on those less educated than yourself is easy prey.

[thejapino]

Well done sir, well done. Bookmarked!

Curious, how much in parts only total did you spend on your rebuild? Parts only, not coolant, oil, etc.

[Infinitiguy19]

Close to $400 in parts alone.

[elwesso]

good job my man, glad oyu got it done. Good job on getting that plenum squeaky clean... whatd you use to clean it (didnt read, sorry)..?

Looks really good, as long as it runs fairly smooth you're in good shape, should be minor issues.

[Infinitiguy19]

I think he sand blasted the plenum.

[unknown007]

Thanks Nico fam if it wasn't for you guys I'd still be putting it together and if it wasn't for you guys you wouldn't be able to help me on my problem that I'm concerned on. I have a loud tick!!!Not a lifter because I drove it and wasn't ticking like it should.So any idea?Maybe another vid?

I beadblasted the plenum only on the outside Wes.

In parts my estimate is around $400-$700.Gotta love the hook ups. By the way Japino I'm gonna need help when I do the suspension swap.Good thing I saved all the info you sent me.

BlackonBlack to be honest I don't even wanna go back there hahaha. If I have to well what has to be done has to be done I guess.

The car isn't drivable yet.Gotta flush everything and replace. This weekend it'll be done.Stay tuned for a new vid.

[elwesso]

Get the car idling right and we'll see how thing sound from there...

The plenum looks really clean inside, did you just use brake clean?

Let's see what goes inside the Plenum?Brake dust or carb?I think carb. I used carb cleaner like four or seven cans I think it was four only.Yeah I am missing the trottle body cable bracket that mounts above the EGR.If I can get one for free that be the ish.
