ab350z Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 As I'm oncall I shall be fitting clear lenses front and rear with chrome bulbs and having another bash at my plenum. Got a fistful of guides printed out, ready to roll! Pics to follow and hopefully a sounclip of plenum and JWT. Big thanks to those who've written the guides, helpful and just passed an hour at work reading through them. Wish me luck. Quote
martinmac Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Good luck Easy is a relative thing only applied after a task Quote
Zummertor Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 good luck and get a whole bucket load of patience ready and a couple of beers cooling for after Quote
CiNcityDesigns Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 what do you mean by "clear lenses"? Are you talking about the bulbs inside your lights, or are you changing out the projector glass inside your headlight with the STi JDM clear lenses?? I've done many glass swaps and I must say, WOW! It makes a WORLD of difference. Quote
ab350z Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Clear front bumper reflectors. Got to put the rear clear indicator/fog lenses on hold cos jdm performance dont have the lenses, still on order from the 9th. Plenum fitted after all the hassle of the 1st attempt it worked perfect today and really feel the difference. Lights can wait till tomorrow, sun came out, as did the chilled beers! Quote

ab350z Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Alright guys, a busy busy day so far in the garage and all is done. Couldn't have done it without the guides on here. Worst part was drivers side of the bumper where the wash bottle is. The next owner of the Z gets half my hand thrown in for free! And a well deserved treat for afters [/img] Quote
ab350z Posted May 31, 2008 Author Posted May 31, 2008 Aye hogged the garage and demanded cups of tea for 5 hours. Mum doesnt mind me coming out, Dad hates it! I never leave it tidy enough to his standards. Quote
Stew Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 With all my neices toys and my dads merc SL there is no space in the garage at my folks! No room at mine for working either! Lucky I have use of a large workshop at the weekend if I need it! Quote
H5 Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Great work, but....... You've trapped the rubber gasket around the oil cap in the plenum - difficulty in getting revs to settle may happen, but certainly you will end up with oil all over the engine bay shortly. Get the socket set out and get it out. (I did it first time and have seen a few others having done it ) Quote
ab350z Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 H5, I trapped it first time i did it but sorted it, thats just how its sitting against the plenum for some reason, looks a bit squashed though. Quote
