brainrain liked post by ChrisDeluca On thread : Key Fob detecting only intermittently

With a brand new Duracell battery, my problems have disappeared. So, clearly it isn't a solution in your case, but it did work for me.

brainrain liked post by Joe@ZSpeed On thread : Recommendations for new clutch

Hi! Here is everything you need! Will drive fantastic and keep pedal effort low. At 83k+ I would go in there without doing clutch and flywheel, CMAK and a new master. If you need any help with...

brainrain liked post by stube40 On thread : Recommendations for new clutch

Hey folks - I bought myself a 2010 370z convertible this year with a little more than 130000km on it (about 83000 miles). It has been well looked after by one previous owner and is totally stock...

brainrain liked post by DarkJak On thread : Using 5W-40 on Z's with no oil cooler

Swapped to M1 0W40 on the Z a couple years ago and Blackstone reports have been great. 40k miles or so but heavy track use. It should be a fairly safe swap from 5W30 to 0W40 for most cars.

:iagree: Expect at least $700-1000 in labor depending on your local rates. Add another few hundred for parts. Don't use a dealer unless they'll install an aftermarket slave solution for you. ...

An arm and a leg. You have to drop the trans. Do yourself a favor and buy a ZSpeed CMAK kit. You'll never have to worry about the issue again.

brainrain liked post by Rusty On thread : Rust on the lower engine part

You do not want to get anything on where the belt rides. Also you don't want to get anything on the A/C clutch assembly.

What Rusty said. Also, you may want to rough sand the entire oil pan as well. Get rid of as much rust as possible and also prepare surface for chemical/paint retention. After the rust...

To kill the rust. Use POR 15. Spray it on. Leave sit. Then rinse off. Let dry. Then paint. I started doing the frame on my truck.

I agree, this or vinegar in a bottle and spray as you go then rinse. Make sure you try to dry these areas well once you rinse or they'll start oxidizing by the time you're done with the rest. ...

Those pipes in image are not hard to replace. Probably parts are inexpensive (DIY). If that was my car, I'd replace them. They are your oil cooler water lines. Probably will have to drain coolant...

As an Aircraft technician who has dealt with corrosion, the only way to get rid of all that is either replacing with new, or removing all components and using media blast to get into the pores. ...

Looks like mostly surface rust (ie, not harmful) to me - but I'm no expert. If it were my car, I'd clean all the rust off and put some sort of coating (eg, paint) on it. This will keep the rust...
