    I think compressed air has more moisture in it. Ever get wet air tools? I like the other 2, sure beats sanding.

    For the Prep and ready it says to rinse it off with water. Do you know any clever ways to dry the water? I already have a heat gun. Thanks.

    I just put in an exhaust manifold and the egr is plugged on it, so I removed the vacuum line on the intake manfiold so the egr never opens, also my heater control valve was cracked, so I just ran a 90 degree elbow to my heater core, eliminated the heater control valve and disconnected the vacuum lines going to it. MY aftermarket sensor is attached to coolant lines near my firewall right before the coolant goes in the heater core. It is attached with hose clamps, and has a temperature needle that shows the temp of the coolant as it flows by. Thanks.

    Howdy, I disconnected my vacuum lines to my egr valve also some lines going to my heater control valve, my question is do I need to plug up these vacuum lines, or just leave them? On a separate note I installed an aftermarket sensor that shows me the temperature of my coolant, it stayed at 190 pretty good while by stock engine temp gauge seemed to rise much higher than 190, and was fairly inconsistent, any thoughts? 1978 280z Thanks a lot.

    Its the rubber part of my tire that is touching. If wheel offset is the case, then the 5mm aluminum tire spacers will fix this problem?

    would I have to install the 5mm wheel spacers on both the front and back? I don't know my wheel offset, the wheels were "professionally" done could they have messed up the wheel offset? Either way it looks like those 5 mm wheel spacers will work exceedingly well to fix the problem! What a relief...thanks for the advice. Now I just have to find out how to install them.

    Hello All! I have P205/60R15 Radial tires, that were recently mounted on it. On the front two wheels they are rubbing against the springs slightly. the tires are probably too big. Could I fix this problem by replacing both springs with slightly smaller springs so they no longer touch the tire? Thanks in advance -Lukas '78 280z
