Yeah, it probably is a little bit, but that’s pretty normal for V-bands as the metal expands and contracts. when it’s cold, it’s not as sealed. So on cold start soot may sneak by
hey i was wondering what is the factory size main feed line to your 280z? I'm converting my 240 to fuel injection not having much luck on the forms about fuel line size.
@@ryanwebster2167 I have all the parts for my Protunerz intake and also the haltech ECU. So lots of great stuff to come. Thinking about hiring a local shop to put the parts on, tune the car, and I’ll film all of that. I have a crazy couple of months coming up so maybe in fall!
Nice vid, but I wouldn't braid the power supply lines, just because it would make it harder to troubleshoot/replace one of the lines if you have a problem. Also, you should make sure you're using rosin core solder for home electrical + lead free electrical solder flux + a soldering iron meant for electrical if the temperature isn't adjustable. The flux and/or rosin core clean the surface area of copper as it melts, making a better electrical connection with less resistance/heat during normal operation.
@@JordanPayneLV Do you know how to do it? is it difficult? can I DIY this or must I take it to the dealer? I tried to look for any video but I don't think there's anybody that did throttle body cleaning for specifically 981
NEVER put anti seize on spark plugs, even Porsche service manual says that. The reason: THREADS are the ground for the spark plug to the engine heads, anything that reduces electrical conductivity will cause reduction in power and misfire That’s a big mistake 2nd reason, reduction of torque value during tightening
no, the car will not apprechiate any shit you did, bcs the scotch bright has grinding particles on it you spread all over and inside the block, you never get all of it out no matter how long you rinse it, ...sexomd you used brass which contains copper...good luck with corrosion, it will hold up as it is a big block but your work was UNNECESSARY, WEONGLY DONE AND THE WEONG MATERIALS AND . NEEDLESS...THIS IS NOT A SURGERY BUT A SIMPLE ENGINE JOB...clean the engine WITH KEROSENE BEFORE YOU TAKE IT APAPRT ! then clean with an oily sollution only, basically kerosene or wd40( white oil in gasoline or some crude agressive waste, depending on the charge number and year) use only plastic brushes on aluminium, everything else leads to white rust,,,, and no scoth bright or emerald/ sanding paper on the heads for no reason....and yes, gloves....
is that some kind of fetish? for what ever reason? was any part defective?,itls not necessary! if it works clena it up on ghe outside and run it! 🤣that,s kinda sick! nothing was super dirty! and now he ruins it in a bath of detergent and water....😂😂AND NO BRASS ON ALUMINIUM PARTS...NEVER !
my high beam blue light is not engaging in my 72 240z. The high beam function is working but the blue light does not show up. Should i carry out the same cleaning procedure?
Because there’s not a safe way to lift the front of the car when using ramps and a jack. Also, the car being at a slight angle doesn’t leave much oil in the pan, I always put in the recommended amount and it doesn’t overfill.
Curious if the mounting screws are still holding up fine after 3 years. I just bought these and was wondering if those simple screw mount would be good enough.
Modern seats would be nice, swapping in Porsche seats would be great. You don’t want to go with 3 or 4 point harnesses for a street car, and you only want a harness in a race car when you also have a HANS device. Harnesses have no give or slack to them, and when you tighten them down, the only thing that moves in an accident is your head and you can actually cause neck injuries much easier than if you had a traditional seatbelt.
@@JordanPayneLV: With traditional belts (no airbag) when you bounce forward and back there is no risk for your neck? img.freepik.com/free-vector/crash-test-dummy-car-seat-grid-background_1308-75255.jpg
Simple green, purple power and stuff like that is corrosive very bad for aluminum it will actually turn the aluminum a dark color if soaked in it for long and if you don’t rinse aluminum off really good when ur done you will have a surprise the next day. It will rust iron/steel too just not as fast as aluminum. They do make cleaners like them that aren’t corrosive. Just wanted to throw that out there a lot of people don’t know and ruin their stuff. I own an auto repair shop and specializing in engine repair. When u have a cylinder head with over head cam there are oil passages in the head that should be cleaned with an actual solvent and you would be surprised how fast it cleans the whole head too. You could just buy a gallon of it and use in a spray bottle or buy a 5 gallon pale of it so u can soak the head but you can drain it back into pale using a coffee filter or something to get the dirt out, the fluid will get dark but it still works just as good that’s what is used in parts washers.
I have a 2010 Cayman S and reside in Florida and had the headliner delaminate when hurricane Michael went by in 2018. This happened overnight, due to the barometric swing, and I'm lucky to have got that much time before it turned into a head towel. My car is kept in an air conditioned garage and if possible on an outing I find shade for parking. It looks like the 981 has the same problem, but believe it or not getting the headliner out of the car appears to be a bit easier of a mission. The 987, both 1 & 2. have trim to remove all the way around the headliner and it didn't want to just pop off easily either. I wish I'd just had those hard foam blocks on the back of the headliner, but no, there was a hard plastic grid epoxied to it that is like sharks teeth. The headliner wasn't going to come out the door, for me anyways and those sharks teeth left a few marks on the interior soft touch paint. Needless to say I also had to get some elastomeric interior paint and redo the afflicted parts. I went through the same basic steps for prepping for the new headliner application, but did the installation a little different. So heat and humidity is the enemy due to a water based adhesive and it separates from the soft foam. I ordered some upholstery grade material for my replacement headliner and used 3M under hood adhesive to do the installation. My Cayman is black with a sand beige interior, and I figured since I own a crocodile, I'd get some cocoa brown material and install that on the headliner. Worked great and no problem for 6 years now 🤞👌👍! If your interested in the material it is sold by Rothman Associates in Miami, Florida, phone (305) 573-8300. The Item # BKPRED-LIZ Desc. Lizardo-Cocoa (L). You can get this material in different colors or you may find something else you like. Remember to just keep your head towel free 😅🤣😂.
Sooooo same situation, except in a 80s Te72 corolla 😂 and I need HELP! I was doing the Nevada classic rod plate but they changed the law and my insurance wouldn’t let me change insurance type cause my car is still in beater stages.(needs to be “show condition” they stated.) I plan on buying the afr gauge today and I need to buy a new catalytic converter, both to install. And I think I’ll try to lower timing and do the e85 mixture like you state, sounds passable! Any extra advice to pass this dang smog? My problem is really that I have dcoe carburetors and I’m terrified of spending $500+ and it STILL not passing.
Excellent information sir. I'm getting ready to do this to mine, and am wondering how to separate the steering wheel trim around the blinker stock. It feels like Im going to break something if I just try to pry the 2 halves apart. Is there a secret that I'm missing?
Just changed my plugs a few days ago. Took me about 1.5 hrs. The hardest one was the middle on the drivers side because the cat is in the way. The front left was easy, I could get my hand in there. It helps to remove the front wheel liner on the drivers side. I used a bunch of extensions and a universal, working on the outside of the suspension in the wheel well. The hardest thing was getting a grip on the coils to pop them off. If you still have the original coils, spend the money to replace them with the updated versions. Two of my originals (2014 Cayman S) went bad within the first 20K miles and is a known issue. You don't need anti-seize. My plugs had 5 years and a ton of track days on them and they came out effortlessly. It also makes the threads sticky and will make getting the plugs out in a few years much harder when it is gummed up.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. One note: my 2014 base Cayman needed a 76-14 oil filter wrench. Luckily I had one from when I had a Harley bc the 74 was too small
