wanna lend a hand?

Alright well, there's a couple DIY jobs my car needs doing. Unfortunately I'm not the most mechanical inclined person. I've done some easy stuff myself, like intake, exhaust, lights, easy bolt on stuff. But for more technical stuff, i'd like to fo it, but i dont wanna F it it. SO, if anyone has time on their hands maybe you could help me make stuff happen.

two things I have goin on in my passenger seat (https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...k-forward.html), as well as my bank 2 valve cover gasket is leaking oil onto the #6 cylinder spark plug tube.

No kidding! I'm 29 with a full time job, plus i'm already going to school for CJ. Clearly not gonna take auto classes. I'm not tryin to be a mech. I'm just tryin to learn a lil more about my car thru trial and error, preferably minus the error. Just figuring that inviting someone over to "safety observe" would be useful as well as fun.

and yes, I'll do a pix log of each step. kinda hoping to get more from yall than, "screw you Geezy, read a tech manual and leave us alone"

PM Eugene (bythabay) He has made many DIY videos using other members cars. He knows his way around the G35 engine pretty well and encourages the owner to participate (when safe) in the repair of the vehicle. He walks you through step by step.

Call Eugene.
If not there's a few guys in the local mechanic thread that I'm sure would be willing to help.



Hi Geezy Juan!!!! Are you going on the next run?
You and I have a reputation to keep up.

I can help but my time is limited and you'd have to travel to my house in Oakley.

Might want to consider a plenum spacer and spark plugs while your replacing the valve cover gasket
