I arrive Friday morning. Rest for a few hours. We get cranking on stuff whenever everyone is available Friday evening.

Friday:
Remove bumper, mess around will cooler and intake.
PB blast the hell out of bolts and remove as much exhaust as possible
Madwi/Susan can work on diffuser, side blades, fairlady badge, and bt-r button

Saturday: We exorcise the demon bolts. Put HFC's and Exhaust on. Finish intake and oil cooler. While we do under car stuff, Susan can contort herself with Madwi supervising the RJM clutch assembly.

Sunday: Any final touch ups like loading a quick tune, vinyl wrap pillars, etc. Can go for a cruise and get some photos around the lake.

Monday: I sleep like the dead

Is your Z automatic or manual? and do you have the oem shift knob on it? (if its manual)

And you're right about that, it'll be all hands on deck at this point. Your driver's seat will have to come out once the car is on jackstands.

Can take the seat out before jack stands. Shouldn't be to difficult. I get weary when things are on stands and access to the interior is needed.

Madwi has the same exact oil cooler as well. So we can do a simple stare and compare if desperate. haha.

blades and diffuser will take all of an hour. GT-R button I'll just throw to my girlfriend and she can use her phone to figure out how to pry off the backplate. lol.

With the 2 of us under the car, I don't foresee to many issues with the exhaust going into place. Only main concern is making sure we don't over tighten incase we need to realign the tips to be even.

HFC's I have no clue how bad they'll be. And intakes I am assuming can be slightly tricky.

I already bought 2 cases of red bulls. You've yet to see a strung out IT guy going ham on stuff with the excitement of a 2 year old getting his first tickle me elmo.

The thing that takes the longest with the exhaust is getting the factory rubber flanges from the oem exhaust's mounting points.. last time we used a lubricant to get them to slide off.

Where are the rubber things located? I wasn't aware of this. I currently have a STM axle back on the rear end. The OEM exhaust is chilling on my porch right now.

If those rubber things are where you "hang" parts of the exhaust, I got them off easily last time. But the tips were uneven so I ended up adding copious amounts of washers to even things out.

Get exhaust hangar pliers if you don't have them already. Makes that a cakewalk.

Something like that.

I'd try hard to avoid doing an exhaust without them. Let me know your thoughts after you've tried. They even worked on my ancient 300zx with everything rusted to hell.

so mr. leingod... here's my list for you.. 5 quarts of your favorite motor oil, and oil filter to fit, a couple tarps or blankets (to catch spills), 2 pairs (one for you and your gf) of cheap gloves (you can get them at harbor freight) because latex will NOT protect your hands from cuts & bruises and.... hmmmm, thats it for now.

ohh and, some clothes you can get dirty/oil in.. that you'll throw away before you drive back.
