I think it's 2 10mm bolts, just make sure you don't make a huge mess unplugging the hose haha, it will drip

One last question before I pull the trigger - this is the go-pro I want right:

GoPro HERO3 HD Camcorder Black 130-01534-000 - Best Buy

There are uh...lots of pretty negative reviews. Anyone have personal experience with this camera?

m4a1mustang · 03-01-2013, 10:34 AM

yes. check with Bobo for reviews.

DM, I believe in you, you can do it!!

That's the beauty of plasti dip, at least you can just peel it off if you completely screw it up, then again I don't know how you could unless you don't know how to aim a spray can lol

b1adesofcha0s · 03-01-2013, 10:49 AM

Make sure you get at least 3-4 coats of it on there, otherwise it will be really thin and hard to peel off. Also a heads up, plasti dip feels super cheap and crappy to the touch. That's why I took it off my door handles.

dmhenderson · 03-01-2013, 10:50 AM

It'll be in the engine bay so I don't care all that much. I'm just doing the coolant tank and the dipstick.

m4a1mustang · 03-01-2013, 10:52 AM

This was my engine bay. I believe in KISS.

eastwest2300 · 03-01-2013, 10:54 AM

If I didn't have so many little issues with my Z I'd still have it and an extra 50k or so laying around. I should sue Nissan.

If your Z wasn't red you'd still have it.....
