Re: $1000 in parts

I've finally unpacked everything and set up the internet here in Lubbock, TX. The Z did make the trip in one piece, although I'm not sure my hearing fully recovered for a few days ;).

Re: $1000 in parts

So far, so good. I'm in Tulsa right now, and the Z made the first leg of the journey without a hitch. There's a bad noise coming from my right-rear wheel occasionally. Best case scenario, the dust...

Re: $1000 in parts

Lots of work but little to show for it since the last post. I installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the subframe because the rear subframe bushings were compressing suspiciously. I made several...

Re: $1000 in parts

Back home, I tackled the subframe bushings today with 100% success. All it took was a Sawzall to cut the sleeve, and the rest was a piece of cake. Each bushing (from core removal to outer sleeve...

I did, but of all the bushing removals he described, the subframe was the one he didn't say anything about :( I'll do some more poking around TT.net and 3ZC to see if I can come up with ...

Re: $1000 in parts

Yeah, I figured if I was going to spend the money on a quality subwoofer (W7), I might as well have a top-shelf amp to pair with it.


Today I got off work early, so the suspension / differential /...

Since the last update, I replaced the ECU coolant sensor and harness, which unfortunately did not solve my problem. Looks like it's back to Ultimate Z in the near future for more...

Re: $1000 in parts

I wish it was grime, but the majority of the ugliness is various layers of the worn finish. In the 'before' picture I posted above, the brown crap is brake dust, but if you look closely you can see...

Re: $1000 in parts

The engine is running almost 100% now. The problem was tracked down to bad O2 sensors (did not throw codes, acted normal in tests, but the hesitation is now gone) and more recently a PTU wire chopped...

Re: $1000 in parts

Don't really have a need for them; I don't do any racing or auto-x, so it's just for normal street driving.

Re: $1000 in parts

New front rotors and pads today, along with some paint for the calipers. They'll go on tomorrow, assuming no major complications.

Re: perfect end to a shitty day

That sucks man, but get those deposits off ASAP. It will ruin your paint if it's left on there too long. The minerals and deposits in that crap are terrible for it.
