Long story short it took a grinding wheel, sand paper, pneumatic drill, 10 washers and some bending of the AL angle support. I'll provide you full details when I download all the pictures from the my camera.

Check out my build thread and you'll see how I handle the GReddy thermostat plate. One thing that I didn't get a picture of was the final install location. When I originally mounted it I had the bracket Sasha made flat against the sub-frame. It seemed to work until I went to mount the oil filter and it won't fit. The solution I came up with was to incert five washers on each of the bottom two lag screws so it would angle it slight towards the bumper. That along with a little upward force on the bracket to get it bent a little more and there is a good 3/8" clearance for the oil filter.

Let me know if you need any more pics and I'll grab them next weekend prior to replacing the undershroud.

Nice! I haven't really taken the time to look yet. I'm ordering more fittings, then I'll tackle it during my next oil change. I'll message you if I run into trouble.

Sounds good. Oh and it requires you to lower the sway bar. I just removed the brackets and let it swing from the end links. It was the only way I could get a right angle drill in there. Not to mention it created a ton more room.

Every weekend is good. I've been drooling over that picture you posted of your Z and your truck. Also spent some time in the garage, trying to get caught up.

I did get a chance to do something for myself. I swapped out my breather filters to something more subtle. Black instead of red.
