What the hell is wrong with people?

Probably just mad mommy and daddy wouldn't buy him a lifted brotruck. The way Z prices are falling, we will have the same crown soon.

I get this all the time. I just let them act stupid while I laugh.

Decided to try and tackle the cats...

Ahh yes. Demon bolts. 5-6 hrs of lifting the car, removing intakes, putting it back in.. bought an impact gun and extentions.. drove to a buddies to tackle with the impact since i dont have a compressor.. only one came out-passenger side..
Now now the driver side is definetly not wanting to come out. For 500lbs of tq we thought we were going to beat it! Nope
Maybe next time unless I can find a shop to just tackle that bolt- anyone know how much a shop would charge just to get the bolt out? I wouldnt mind having them put it on but.. california.

I tried using an impact too, just get a big cheater bar and put a pipe on it. Once I did this the bolts came right off, and using penetrating oil, constant torque seems to work better than an impact.

If they really are frozen, a mechanic can do the "hot wrench" maneuver with a torch. You were replacing those bolts anyways.

I put a good penetrating oil on mine several days in a row leading up to my swap. I was pleased that they came out with little effort.
I had more trouble with other bolts on the exhaust that I didn't treat before hand

Didn't do anything to my Z besides fill the gas tank. Had a 2016 370z come in today to get work done though
