There is a DIY in the DIY section of the forum... not that complicated.

I've been having my gen 3 for little over a year. It's not hard at all, they should have some info with the intakes.

Yep. Pulled several off. I have pics and some helpful tips on the Gen 3 intake. I will load them into a new album and if you have questions just shoot. Pics are now loaded

Thanks again for all the help. I forget does the car HAVE to be lifted to pull the bumper ? Or does it just help immensely ??

bucketman 02-15-2011 09:11 PM

No problem. You still have the silver car? You can pull the bumper without jacking the car up, but if you haven't done it before you will never get all the bolts and plastic rivets out. It is way to easy to lift the car up and save your self a lot of hassle.

Hey. I have an idea.(doesn't happen often). If LaffiteZ is willing and enough of you want to, we can get together at my place and install his Gen 3 intake. This will give everyone a first hand view of how to pull the bumper and install an intake. This will prove helpful to future mods. What do ya'll think?

KaienZ34 02-15-2011 09:19 PM

No the gray 370 is gone, yeah the only time i've done that was when you helped me with mine. I just would like to test fit my amuse but my jack is not low enough.

Just drive it up on a couple of pieces of 2 by 6 or 8, that ought to lift it up enough(even with your wheels ) to get the jack under it. Have you found someone to do the kit yet?

KaienZ34 02-15-2011 09:49 PM

No one in my neck of the woods that can be trusted not to treat the Z like sh!t. So it's still sitting in the shed.

bucketman 02-15-2011 10:02 PM

If you want I can talk to my friend Fabian. He does paint and body work. I would have to say he is the best I have ever seen. The most anal painter I have ever met. How many pieces in the kit?
