I vote Chariots of Fire.

300ZX twin turbo.

Not to go all Tavarish on you here, but you can usually find good deals on tools on craigslist, or at pawn shops, and end up with significantly better tools than Stanley or Kobalt crap.

I see Councilman Dexhart graduated from Pawnee to a glorious career in state politics.

A wild Slepnir appears.

On the other hand, Germans and poisonous gas is a pretty old story.

Volkswagen was originally the Peoples’ Car, so maybe bringing it back to the Nazis makes sense.

:looks at 401k and IRA:

mmyep, index funds with some slight focus on one sector or another.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but assuming 7% return is... optimistic. People are stupid, panicky animals.

You’re supposed to buy high and sell low, right?

From 2007 until 2009, the RS27 V8 was pretty much in the same straits its V6 is in now, though. I would guess the amount of investment on Red Bull’s part has changed since then, otherwise they wouldn’t be complaining about being mid-fielders again.

I’m still reeling over the $200 difference between regular KYB GR-2s and the Nissan OEM (Tokico, I think) struts for the front of my AWD Infiniti.

None stock, but my Z32 with an intake, exhaust, tune, and boost jets (little pills to trick the stock boost solenoid), the car made 320HP to the wheels, uncorrected, at 6000ft.

I’m not an expert (though I do sleep above a Z32), the exhaust turbine of the R32 turbo looks pretty restrictive, and it also has the typical-of-the-times Nissan precatalytic converter sitting like a fat booger on the outlet of the turbine.

Followed immediately by “also, I don’t need a starship”.

So, my wife already has sex with a sasquatch on the reg, where’s her awesome car?

In that case, undo the 4 nuts holding the balance tube (if in Z32, I can’t speak to the maxima/I30 or J30 setup), flip it up, remove the 12x12mm bolts holding the coil packs, pull the coil packs, and drop a spark plug socket on an 8” extension down, and remove the plugs at will.

You’d probably need to put carriage bolts through the “adapter” and then use nuts to secure the plate, since putting sheet metal screws through the plate would probably go into whatever the sheet metal adapter was there to protect.

On the VQ, you can pull the upper plenum in about 10 minutes:
1) remove intake/MAF boot(s)
2) pull brake booster line
3) pull EGR solenoid
4) undo throttlebody coolant lines
5) unplug throttlebody
6) remove 15 bolts and 2 nuts, and you’re golden.

At what point did you go get a jug of purple power to degrease it?

Spark plug sockets (not your typical deep socket) have a rubber grommet inside that grabs onto the plug insulator. Pretty foolproof with the right tools.
