Anyone have any feedback on the throttle body coolant bypass diy?
also, What about if I mount the windshield washer pump vertically in the new reservoir I am making?....shouldn’t be a problem right?

Hmmm, I guess they got rid of the diamond cut stuff, that is what we used on Jcabbies.

I kind of like this one but I think the first would look better on the car
Yea it leaks sometimes... when you do it, and sometimes after many miles when you don't do it. The mod itself doesn'treally do anything.
its a good thing to do on 1990-1998 300zx's though LOL.

Being completely serious... I forsee myself taking a long drawn out **** tomorrow morning. Theres a good chance I wont get there till 11 am. I'll text you before I leave though to give you a heads up.
you get the syncro saver for that SII tranny? Thats IMO makes the SII tranny with the sII shifter a perfect combo.
I am looking for a 4:77 diff though--not that I have to have it--just like the extra grunt it will give.
you never have enough grunt.
