I did remove the bumper to install the intake. Damn, I wasn't even thinking of that, I probably damaged it somehow. I don't get why it only started flashing now and not when I first installed it.

 

hmm. well it is pretty difficult to damage. Its basically a metal casing with a spring loaded ball bearing inside. What year is your Z? Does it have the feature where if there is not enough weight in the passenger seat it turns off that airbag?

 

It's an '03 touring, I don't think it has that feature.

 

So i went to the store to grab everything. Pep Boys by my house only has the Hawk HPS fronts and they say no pep boys in town has the rears. They Didnt have the royal purple tranny fluid either. Is there any other shop that supplys them because I only saw pep boys on their site.

 

National Performance may have the fluid.

 

NAPA sells RP. Don't know if they have the tranny fluid.

 

i always order my Redline from summitracing.com - they're in Reno and deliver usually next day. most brands like RP and Redline aren't in stores, for some reason.

 

If you want redline, there is a store right donw the street from me, called Meyers I think, they sell redline there.

 

I have an abundance of Royal Purple 75w90 gear oil in my garage. I am willing to part with a few bottles for ya!

 

National Performance also sells every Redline product and they keep most of it in stock. I buy my oil and assembly lube there.

 

Speaking of NP, is this the place on Craig or CHeyenne that sells guages, vacuum hoses, and other assorted good tuner parts? I am going to replace all my vacuum hoses with blue ones and move my BOV to a different location.

 

National is on Charleston and Jones I believe. Right across from the CCSN campus.

 

Ok after reading over the posts again, Rob says that the plugs should last 100K. I'm sitting right now at 46K on the odometer. Should I save the extra 40-50 bucks on the plugs and just keep the ones I got, or get new ones as part of this little tune up? Should I change the wires?

I know I need to do the brakes, when I had my oil changed in may my mechanic said that the brakes were marginal and should be changed out soon. So heres my list

Hawk HPS - $66.90 Front / $62.33 Rear from Pep Boys (Only has the fronts, anybody know another place to pick these up locally?)

Motul MT600 Brake Fluid - $$$? Their website is really hard to use and I cant find a dealer locator. Who in town carries it if anybody? Any other good brands?

Royal Purple 75w90 - Looks to run around $10-$15/bottle. Mike, that would be great if I could grab a few bottles from ya. I would have to give ya somethin for it tho...$$$, Beer, sexy lap dance , or whatever you choose. I don't like takin peoples stuff for free

***I think there is something wrong with the syncros in my tranny. Shifting from 1 to 2, it feels like it gets caught on something. It is also really hard to shift from 5 to 6 sometimes. Some people said changin the fluid to RP or redline has helped reduce it. I was gonna take it to the dealership and have them see if they can take a look and do something under warranty. Should I change the fluid out so that they don't say that it was caused by not changing it out or having really dirty used fluid. Or take the time and just change it then take it in?***

NGK Plugs - $40-$50 for all 6. Should I get them, or let them go to 100K like Rob said earlier?

NGK Wires - $$$? Find em? Or let em go till 100K like plugs?

Anything else anybody can think of? Im thinkin I can get everything done for just under $250.

 

I used to be sponsored by Royal Purple so I don't mind giving the stuff away .

 

I think that I have a couple of bottles of Motul. I don't use it since I switched to the ATE superblue.

 

I need Motul and can't find it local.....

 

Hey Ty, I live right down the street from you. Any good time I can come through and exchange beer or cash for some motul?

 

I've got 2 500ml bottles. You guys are welcome to them. Getting ready to go to the KoRn tonight. Is anyone going to help Mike move tomorrow? Maybe I can meet you over there.

 

is that enough for the whole brake system flush? I have to work tomrrow from 8-4 so I cant lend a hand to Mike moving.

 

Yeah 1/2 liter should be enough to flush with. Give me a call tomorrow afternoon when you get off of work. 245-6241

 

will do thanks

 

Sorry I didnt get a change to get a hold of you today. After staying out all night like a dummy, then workin 8-4 I was so tired when i came home, just crashed. Will try tomorrow.

 

Cycle Gear had 7 bottles of Motul RBF 600 brake fluid on the shelf and I got four. If you need an additional bottle or two (b/c I think it takes four bottles to fill our system), they are located on Decatur just south of the Meadows Mall.

 

4 bottles to fill the system? Really?

 

Should only take about a bottle and a half for the brakes.
