Spring Maintenance

Damn, if they are direct fit, I might be adding a mod to my list

I've already claybarred my car washed and waxed. My finish is soo smooth and clean now.
I had to park my car on the road today because I was cleaning up my dad's van and it was funny, everyone that walked past my car was like wow, thats clean and shiney. lol
I waxed, detailed, and cleaned my rims and tires today with amor all rim and tire cleaner.
I conditioned my interior leather components and cleaned, dusted, vaccumed just about everything else. I removed some of the vents on the dash to clean some dust out.
Polished my headlights, but still need to do the clear headlight mod

I need to install my progress and illum. soon
I would like to remove my rims and clean off the rust and paint the rotors and calipers, but I'm not sure how I should go about doing that and How difficiult it is.

I need to get my shaved grill to a shop and painted.

I probably have to order some hub centric spacers from ray soon (do I need to do another alignment/balancing after I install them?)

I need Nick to help me out with fixing my audio setup properly.

And I'm 5k away from 150k so every single thing that can be maintained/changed and flushed under the hood, will be.

you don't need an alignment after spacers, but you will after the shock/spring install. Painting the rotors is pretty easy, getting the rust and brake dust off can be a pain.

Hey Faisal I was reading on the org that the r32 calipers are an upgrade for the Z32. And they are a direct fit on the z32. So you will need some kind of bracket. And you will need a different rotor than the z32 kit.
Most people use the z32 kit because you can easily get pads and rotors at the dealership. The skyline pads can be hard to find and more expensive.

When i painted my calipers, i never took the calipers off. What i did was, i covered the rotor with newspapers and all all suspension components and just sprayed them down.

That's a great feeling, but damn, it started raining around 3am in Halton and it's still going on now. At least the clay bar is done and over with, and you have clean paint going into the new season. Did you use a steam cleaner for the inside carpets? I'm thinking about investing in one (I don't have any salt stains at all; I put some vinyl covering under my winter floor mats to protect the carpet).

Hey Knight, so for the fuel filters, it's the following part numbers, yes?

Filter: 16400-2Y505
O-Ring or Seal or Whatever: 17342-01A00

Yes that is the number on the box I have

I'm guessing changing the fuel filter on a 5th gen is pretty much the same as the 5.5 gen?

It's time to pay Dan a visit. I've known him before you joined TMEC; don't kill our secret!

What kind of pricing Will can you let me know?

I can email him

I don't know yet, I need to find out tomorrow. If it's unreasonably-priced, I'm going to consider aftermarket, but if it's reasonable, I'll likely pick up a few sets all at once and change it every 9-12 months moving forward. I used to replace the fuel filter on my 3rd gen every 20K when designs back then were much easier to work with. I'm just going to tackle the work on my own, probably this coming weekend along with putting the TE rims back on.

Hi Raymond.

16400-2Y505 is $29.99 and 17342-01A00 is $13.75 plus tax.

I would have to order them.

Thanks,

Dan.

for once I don't got much on my maintenance list besides a nice interior & exterior detail

wow, I would be interested in this. Stupid Scarborough Nissan just kept trying to sell the pump along with it for over $300.
