Are you just referring to the coolant lines that can be removed per this DIY?

I thought about doing that this past summer but never got around to it. I just recently drove the Z out in freezing weather for the first time, so I'm even less inclined to do it now, though I like the solenoid valve idea that someone mentioned in the DIY. If you are talking about something else entirely or just speaking to the difficulty, please, enlighten me



If you're talking about just the MAF sensors, then sure. If you are including the TBs, let me do mine first
Yeah, the coolant lines. If you haven't bypassed them, you'll be spewing coolant when you go to take the TB's off to clean them, that's all.

If you keep the lines upright, it won't be tooo much that comes out tho.

Gotcha I will probably wait until mid-Feb to clean the TBs and go ahead and do the bypass at the same time.

My next question was whether I need to do a coolant flush at the same time. I guess not, as long as I'm careful when removing the hoses.

Much obliged

Chased a "brother from another mother" (silver boxster) in the fast lane this morning going to work. Just for _ _ _ _ _ and giggles.

You should probably use mine as the tester. I mean, it seriously can't be any worse than it is now. Damn thing idles all over the place, only starts 75% of the time, has no pep in her step, etc....

I think I can handle the MAF cleaning, but you're welcome to it. I'll be calling the shop today to get a quote on the TB cleaning + coolant flush.

Had to buy a new battery today, (replaced the original) odd thing was I was farther north last week and it started several days/times at 20-24 degrees every morning! Oh well the battery is nearly 5 years old. REALLY glad it didn't quit during my trip after gas, etc. My Honda OE battery lasted 8 years, original.

LOL,
I don't think I ever got a ticket in my 280Z for speeding.
I have yet to get one in my 370Z. Not saying I never will, but last speeding ticket I got was in my Taurus. 36 in a 30.

64 in a 30; you had it coming that is dangerous and to hell with how others are driving.
