I had a local guy do it for $100. There's no way I was going to try the demon bolts myself after agreeing on the install price.

I had my FI Tp's installed a few days ago by Specialty Z and just today the CEL turned on. I will try resetting my ecu to see what happens.. $200 for the install seems about right. That's what I paid.

Same happened to me - light turned on a few days after install but hasn't come back since resetting ECU ~4-5 weeks ago.

O 5h1+! L00K @ that?! Sum1 w/FI test pipes had their CEL lite up! LOL! Like I said, the only way to never see this BS is to have a reflash...
And the "demon bolts" aren't **** if u brake 'em within the 1st 1K miles of ur Z34....My Snap-0n 2ft, 1/2" breaker bar made quick work of 'em...had my kittens and hole OEM Xhaust off within 90'....Basically, U don't want TIME/HEAT/RUST to G4ld the "demon bolts" on more than the ~150ish p0und FT o tork the FAC sets 'em @....OEM FSM states "33 lb ft" LuLZ!

Had demon bolts on my CBE with less than 1K miles.
Had to cut of 2 bolts CBE side of the cats.
This was at my buddy's shop and he has 20+ years experience as a mechanic.
Also he specializes in Zs.

You were asked already once nicely to post in basic english, and you replied "BAN ME this site sucks"

I replied "Sorry you feel that way But you don't need to log on anymore"

Well, It looks like you came back for me to grant you your wish.

Adios!!
