Gale, I'm still in love with your rear.

kenchan · 06-27-2012, 04:13 PM

yah, good luck with your car too, mr.alcheng!

dogdamn, we're updating our security system and was hoping to get a smaller camera for the porch. i saw the camera arrive and...

wtf...this thing is the same size. need to ask the wife to return and reorder. im looking for a small indoor camera which i will mount on the window from inside the house adjacent to the door at chin height. wife does all the network stuff so i was relying on her to get us the updated camera.... hummm....

Very tempting deal just presented itself. Hmm... need opinions. I can get the LTH for free if I pay for the uninstallation from another 370z. Anyone know what the going rate would maybe be?

kenchan · 06-27-2012, 05:02 PM

hi pint- i would question WHY this person wants the LTH removed from his car.

honestly i dont think playing with headers is a good idea unless you can do the install yourself. why? ive had cracked headers (brakets) in the past on my other cars... and remember having to replace several times.

He has been trying to trade his Z in since I bought the exhaust from him. He could never find a buyer for the headers so he hasn't been able to trade it. He wants to trade it because he lost his company truck and needs something with a bit more room.

hummm... i seriously doubt dealers will not take trade-ins just for aftermarket headers.

ive traded/sold modded cars in the past with no issue. why do you want the LTH? the car is plenty loud and fast with the FI catback, no? im using a fujimura-auto muffler only with great results.

I just want them.

I'm going to talk to a car buddy of mine tonight and decide from there.

sounds like a plan. GL!

hey so kami sent me the disk to get for the SSR MS3.

checking availability, so will need to wait till tomorrow.

not sure about the weight though. if its over 25lbs i will search for another wheel i guess. stock sports were like 23-24lbs + 31lbs for tire = 55lbs max. i suppose running PSS at 26lbs each, i can still get away with the SSR's being 28lbs for about the same gross weight. just not a mod any more, just cosmetics. hummm...

my weds at 22-23lbs and 26lbs tires are about 49lbs max vs 55lbs stock. that's 6lbs lighter per corner. that i can obviously feel in braking.

Uninstall costs are very possibly more than the headers are worth.

Long tube header install is quite an undertaking on the z

Ordered new end plates for wing.

That's unfortunately a very subjective question.

It depends on whether the individual has experience with the Z and the proper tools to perform the work. My Tech thinks nothing of the "demon" bolts because he works with them all the time. In fact, he doesn't even call them "demon bolts"!
