Just snapped a plenum bolt, for the 100 times I've had my plenum on and off it happens the morning I plan to go to the big G/Z meet in Oakville.

I love when someone drops your torue wrench and doesn't tell you!

Quick answer, it's bolt #2(middle of the plenum lower centre bolt) if I thread a short bolt in and form a seal in the plenum would you say it's safe to drive the car for today? I'll extract the snapped bolt which snapped clean off in the low plenum another day.

I guess I'll thread the bolt start it up and see if I can hear a vacuum leak.

I'm buying a new torque wrench today as well, my mac just got the ****ty end of my frustration.

 

That's a shame.

Sounds like what you're planning will work in the short term.

 

That suck's. Where's the meet? I'll be in oakville most of the day.

 

dam that sucks...hope everything works out for you

 

Ouoch, hope your fix works.

 

So fixed the plenum, then had a bolt fall out of my hood latch....

Open hood+wind resistance= new fenders and carbon hood

Weekend just gets better!

 

Holy crap Blain! So your hood flew up as you were driving? Hope everything is ok man.

 

Yea man, it's a mess and a half. I'll get some photo tomorrow, I parked the car in the shop and walked home out of frustration.

My car decided to do all this to me because I'm about to buy a Honda F4I

 

holy thats krazy man...seen it happen in person and its messed up...glad to see your ok tho...

 

I really wish I could get infiniti to pay for the damage since it was their OEM latch that failed but I know for a fact I couldn't win that argument, there is way too much done to my car.

 

damn man! sorry to hear

 

Scarry as all get out eh? Happened to me and my MGB on the highway too. Glad you're all right.

 

Oh man, sorry to hear, Blain.

 

Sorry to hear about your problems Blain.
Damn, must have scared the crap out of you when it happened.
