ill be installing everything this weekend !!!

both coolant tank and PS tank as well as all the slip over braided lines i bought with all the red clamps from earls :-)


o yea i just made a purchase from SxExCx

 

Ash, thanks for the link to the chrome bolts. How do we figure out how long each bolt we need is w/o taking them out and measuring? Also, how would you check torque specs with the allen bolt heads?

 

g35mods.com ^^^ google it and look up how to install plenum spacer ... there is a awesome pic and paragraph telling you the correct way to torque each one down and the correct pattern around the plenum buddy... i guess i answered your question ... i have an allen head adapter that going on my torque wrench

 

That's the answer I was looking for. I guess I could contact Tony at MD for the bolt sizes on the 5/16" spacer.

 

You have a plenum spacer?

As far as torque goes, torque it by hand with an allen wrench turned the long way (the low torque way) or a hand screwdriver with an allen tip, and you'll get it just about perfect.

Wouldn't hurt to throw a little lock-tite on the end of the bolts.

 

Yes I have the 5/16 mentioned above. I think your idea with the allen wrench is a good one. I've had my spacer off and on several times and I've installed several here on other people's cars so I have a good idea of how they feel when they get tightened just right. Still might go by allen wrench adapters for the torque wrench, that sounds magical.

 

^Just make sure it's an inch-lb torque wrench. They're spec'd for very little torque.

If you have a 5/16, the sizes you want should be
10 or 11 (can't remember for sure) m6x1.0 35mm
3x m6x1.0 50mm
4x m6x1.0 70mm
(IIRC)

Oh, also... if you pick up a random assortment of m6x1.0 25mm and m6x1.0 16mm that will do most of the other bolts around the fenders/etc... and the 4 big ones (12mm socket size) that hold the radiator support are m8x1.25 16mm
The two nuts on the plenum are m6 and the 6 nuts (3 each side) for the top of the strut towers are m8x1.25

 

Yup on the in/lb.

Thanks for the bolt info, I love this forum.

 

and also, 4x m6-1.0 60mm for the throttle body

 

damn.....i will be ordering some now. where can i find those fancy washers??

 

^Like mine? You can't, that was the custom part.

For the socket-head ones, that same site I posted does have some really pretty chrome flat-washers... if you want color though, about your only remaining option is this site: http://www.galleryfresh.com/6.html but be forewarned, they're hella-expensive, and they don't have a kit specifically for the G (Z kit is close, but there are bolts it has that you won't need, and bolts you'll need that it doesn't have)

 

damn...i have a few gallery fresh ones but i thought they went out of business?

 

^Not that I'm aware of... but IDK, never ordered from them

You could always get password JDM: http://passwordjdm.com/PasswordJDM-E...ries-C455.aspx
But they're even more expensive (and also not JDM )

 

Installed these bad boys with Z1 Brackets last wednesday. Full pics will be up after the WFC meet this weekend as well as pics of another surprise I wont reveal until those pics are posted!

 

Winning!
