i use a piece of cardboard for my bolts, numbered 1 - 10 so the same bolts go back in the exact same holes every single time. Just stab 10 holes in a piece of cardboard, number them and push the bolts through.
Good video. I am going to be removing the Intake Manifold on my 2003 FX45 this weekend to fix the knock sensor wires and install new knock sensors. Can I remove the Intake Manifold without removing the fuel rail? I haven't looked at it yet. I hope I can. Thanks.
Update: I had to remove the fuel rails to get to all the bolts on the lower intake manifold. The fuel rails were pretty easy to remove and reinstall. I had to rebuild the chewed through knock sensor wiring harness because this part is not made anymore. After installing the new Knock sensors, the FX45 ran a lot better and had more lower end torque and would also downshift quicker when accelerating (it also seemed to accelerate faster). I also noticed that the engine started up quicker. It took me about 2.5 days (one day to disassemble, one day to rebuild the wiring harness and put the intake manifolds back on, and half a day (a few hours) to install all the hoses and air intake box (I am a DYIer). Thanks for this video series, it really helped me out. I had to look at your gasket part again so I would know how to properly install the new intake gaskets.
Thanks for the video I have a question I have a 2006 Infiniti M35 sport my key fob won't work it only will start the car when is in the key fob slot what could be the issue. I need help thanks again
Ive got a 2006 nissan fuga 450gt right hand drive here in New Zealand vk45de engine always leaks oil on drivers side from valve cover gasket or maybe steering rack
You could also reuse the metal ones. Depends on the budget & what you want to risk. Remember I told you the manifold could be removed with the fuel rail?
