Side note: I did get my driver side lock actuator replaced. 2nd time in 3 years unfortunately, if it happens again ill be doing the 5$ fix for sure. Its a pretty big pita to replace those. And i need to reset the window switch still, it wasnt working properly and i had suspension stuff to attend to.

Yea in hindsight I would have gone that route for sure. I have had a lot of down time from this undertaking and its been a learning curve for sure. Pretty much any bolt or sleeve has been a pita due to rust etc. Even with air tools ive broken bolts and dealt with siezed bushings the whole way.

I am wondering if maybe a 2 or 3 leg puller would work to install the new bushings. I am going to pick up some 1.5" dom tubing tomorrow. Ill have them cut me some in 1, 2 and 3" pieces.

I also found this would would work if the sleeve is short enough on 1 side but its stooooopid expensive so not happening.

SP #11100

Not much space to work with in there.

 

Should of done the 350z black seatbelt guide also..

 

Do tell me more...

 

If you're too busy to drive it don't worry I can do that for you. I can run it as hard as you like And let my coupe rest.

 

The 350z has a black seat belt guide that should work, see if you can find one at turbo toys and try it..

 

Gave my car a good wash then detailed the engine bay a bit.

 

Are you referring to the little arm coming off the pillar? I would LOVE to see if I can retrofit that thing. In my 06 coupe, the belt clips to the seat itself, no arm per se. Not bad, except I'm a short guy and it puts the shoulder strap up by my neck, bugs the crap out of me on long drives.

 

I saw a thread similar to this before. Pretty much familiar. Anyways, just a changed oil today

 

Yeah, i dont see why it wouldnt work..

 

Hate that darn thing..

 

Why wouldn't a 2005 seat belt work? Mines not attached to the seat like the 2006.

 

Lol I never realized it was like that in the 03-05!

 

I was able to install my rare jdm harness cover.Next i'll start polishing the manifold and the timing cover.

 

Looks good, good luck with polishing too. When I installed my harness cover, I thought the metal would be a little less flimsy, curious to get your take on it.

I'm thinking about going to a CF half engine cover as it will hide the timing cover. I don't have the patience or skills to polish it.

 

thanks, it's definitely flimsy. I honestly expected it to be better quality, but i guess it's not to bad for the price.I considered going with a CF engine cover myself, but i didn't think it would fit with my gt spec tower brace
