| I watched him pull the Intake hose's off, and notice the amout of blow by was normal. He noticed the radiator was not OEM, and to ask what happened if anything. Had a question about the racing pulley and if it could be related to the aftermarket radiator by not circulating enough while idle. Showed me the facia was not oem and thats why it was not lining up the way it should. We asked why it was replaced. One of the things I was worried about was if the car was in a front end collision. (Aftermarket radiator, facia not lining up, repainted ect.) was able to answer all the questions related to this. Which was huge to me. He noticed the aftermarket downpipes. He knew where to check for rust. That the car appeared to be stored indoors most of its life. What the dashboard will do if its been outside in the sun a good deal. He showed the PCV vaulves were needing replaced. Where both were and the best way to replace them. He checked the codes on the ECU and showed what code 34 was related to, confirmed it was a jwt ecu. How to check the codes. He explained to me the common spoiler rot, and why it rots. What I would need to do to fix it. The car has a shimmy when braking guy tells us it rotors. Tim showed me the poly bushings that go bad and give the effect that rotors are bad. When it may not be the rotors. "even if it is he may have a set for me". Guy says it steers hard at low speeds, Tim showed it was low on power steering fluid and where its likely leaking. Showed how to fix it. Also explained it may need added to a few times rather than just filling it up.
Showed me whoever did the motor swap routed some of the main wiring harness incorrectly, where it needs to be and why.
He gave me some pointers on loading and hauling the extra motor, how to haul it ect. I'm sure I am forgetting some information. But I learned all this from him in about 30-45 mins. The guy spues knowlage about the Z32. It was a very pleasent experience to say the lease.
