Great info, but why disconnect the battery in the first place ? surely with ignition off and ensuring the electrical connectors are clean and covered there is no need to worry about battery and consequently reprogramming.

Just ordered... Reading to be ready...
OK... I just order my G3 kit...
I have concerns about removing the front bumper. I read the DIY and it seems reasonably easy but there was mention of adding images for clarity. Anyone know where I might be able to get some pics to ease my mind? Love this site... nice to be surrounded by others that think the 370z is a sweet ride. This last image that has wear on the AC line concerns me a bit though. Any further advice/tips/comments/warnings/etc are welcome. I'd like to do this right the first time. |

I don't have a pics of removal, guess I could take some. As far as the rubbing goes, the stillen unit doesn't bolt up to anything, its just kind of wedged in there. I would think cutting the hole as tight as possible would help with the rubbing issue. It may also be that the a/c line could be a little higher or lower depending on the individual car. Putting a small piece of fuel line hose on the a/c line will be really easy and would stop any destructive rubbing. I would not worry about it to much, the car in the picture had the hole hawged out pretty good, the rubbing took place over about 8-10,000 miles. A small piece of hose would have stopped all the problems.

The car is not handy at the moment. Is the A/C line on the drivers side accessible with the stock airboxes in place? I'm wondering about the diameter of the line so I can track down a piece of tubing that has a similar ID for protection when I get to the install. thanx in advance. |

He has two 370z's. One had all the mods which we are swapping to his other car. Yes the stock air boxes and tubing went back in, no problems. The a/c line is not accessible with the front bumper on, it is on the front side of the core. The only two area's everybody is nervous about is removing the 10mm bolt that is behind the inner wheel well and the plastic cover over the windshield side of the strut or tower bar. Everything else is just plastic clips and small bolts. I'll try to post some pics later today of these two area's

Here is the pics. Remove the plastic clip, then pullout the inner fender liner. Remove the 10mm bolt, then the squimish part, grab the bumper cover and give it a hard tug, the clips will pop right out. Of course this after you have removed all the other push pins and bolts.The other pics are of the cover over the strut bar, after removing the two push pins, just pry or yank up, there are a bunch of clips as you can see, just takes some muscle. Good luck.

I think I can figure it from here but any answers to the above might make it much less trial and error. |

The clips slip right into the fender,in between the light and outside. Grab the fender on the outside edge just below the fender and give a tug..pop. After you have everything else loose, do one side at a time. Be ready for the nose to be in your lap after you do the second side, its not heavy it just comes at you,. Good luck!

As for the bumper removel. Few bolts on the bottom, few on push pins on top and 2 in the wheel wheel, 2 screws (one in each well behind the liner) and the bumper can be pulled off. Its really not that hard. Just follow the DIY and it should take u a few hours to do everything.

On the top of the filters, it says "caution - oil before using". Did you guys spray oil before installing? I've had other K&N filters before and they've been pre-oiled and ready to use.
