How big of a job is it to remove the heat shield to get to the tranny dipstick? 5 minutes?

I modified the heat shield by cutting a hole in the bottom and inserting a 4 inch black PVC clean out threaded plug. I silicon-ed it in place and it works great. Remove the filter and unscrew the plug to get access to the dip stick. the mod took about 1 hour to complete.

If you do it enough, it won't take long, somewhere around 5-10 minutes. You will basically have to take off the whole air filter,shield, and tube that connects to the original Intake to get to it. One thing I also did was cut a square piece out of the heat shield to get the tranny dipstick. It worked for a while, but I just ended up taking it out later when I also added a throttle body spacers as well.

not really too big of a deal for me, because my shield did not fit properly xD but yeah its not really too big of a deal just remove like two or 3 bolts.

Sorry, I don't have that info, I guess I threw it out. The critical thing is, if you are replacing the head gasket, you MUST use NEW head bolts and if it is extremely cold temperatures you must leave them in the environment that the car is in. I believe the instructions on the head bolts is that you allow the head bolts to acclimate to that temperature,maybe a half hour to an hour before advancing the torque. Lots of good youtube videos out there, hope this helps.

I'm sorry, David. It's been a while, and I don't have my model info in front of me. I can tell you, that for me, it was like a 5min installation. Just label all the wires and where they are supposed to go! It saved me more than $200, buying the part and installing myself. Best of luck.

Not sure exactly but I can tell you that its not a good idea to put it onto a metal heat shield thats for or close to an exhaust manifold. Ask me how I know haha.

Very easy. Remove brake caliper, unbolt existing hub, bolt on new hub, reinstall caliper. Total job took me 15 minutes. I recommend using blue loctite when reinstalling.

Yes it took me an hour and a half to do but I hard wired it and cut a hole in a panel for a pro install look. Pay attention to wiring diagram.. Mine has been on full time for last six months. Takes an hour to heat water from cold to hot

The best way to remove these is using a "heat gun". If you don't have one goto Lowe's or a local hardware store and buy one with two heat settings 750W and 1500W. First start by heating the side vents on the 750W heat setting (holding the heat about 2 inches from the vents) for about 3 to 5 minutes. If the low heating does work move to the higher heat setting and use less time. At this point you should be able to peel the vents off by hand. Once off use acetone(finger polish remover) to clean the remaining "glue" from the car. This should work. Any other question just ask. The best way to remove these is using a "heat gun".

Replacing the heat element is not an easy task. I am very handy and found it challenging yet I was able to get it done. The instructions are good it is just tough fitting.

The hose is too large a diameter to fit into the trans dipstick tube. Does your vehicle have a drain plug for the trans? Best bet is to have your repair shop do a "transmission flush" This removes all of the old fluid and replaces it with fresh.

It isn't complicated, but I would allow 1 1/2 - 2 hours. You will also need someone to help you when moving the main grill section.

About an hour, but I had three people working on it. Hardest part was disconnecting old fuel lines. Even with removal tool it took some time.

On to the stock air duck by your bumper to screw into the side of the heat shield I copied a linked a step by step instruction for this application http://my350z.com/forum/engine-drivetrain-and-forced-induction-diy/383808-how-to-install-jwt-pop-charger-noob-proof-version-w-pics.html

Very good YouTube on how to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eYwatched it a few times and had no trouble. Go ahead and buy the gasket too, it is easy to replace when you change the grease.

It was pretty fast and simple. I would say 10 minutes at most. It will help to take a look at how you take the old part off and then it will be clear how to put the new one on.

Between 2 to 4 hours depending if you install a winch at the same time. I suggest 2 strong people to help lift it on and align it. The evap canister will have to be relocated and is a bit challenging. You only need to extend one fog light harness.

The whole job should take less than 1 hour. The hardest part is setting the grids back in place. I found that it was much easier to turn the manifold upside down and set the grids in. Then lining up the bottom was a piece of cake.

It needs a space of 71/2'' long,plus another inch for the nipple on the far end and it's 21/2'' in diamiter.WARNING in fine print it says not to try to start the engine with heater still pluged into the power cord.For years I always unpluged it before starting the engine but one time I didn't do this and that is all it took to ruin the heater and have to by another one.It was -6 here last night but the ole hoe started right this AM
