Message	A local Z guy had an exhaust leak on his SZ system that turned out to be loose bolts. He re-tightened all the bolts and found they were all a bit loose after the new exhaust had been heat-cycled a few times. Never used thread locker on any of my exhaust installs, but I do check and re-tighten bolts if I'm under the car. Regards, WARNING!  Forum posts are likely to contain traces of irony.

My Zs are hybrid vehicles, they run on gasoline and money I'm off to wax mine and go for a drive now. - BigTDogg (MA) 07:17:08 07/17/09 times change, people change, but the Z32 still kicks ass. - apudapus 16:46:02 06/15/07 I was more wondering how you set your climate control to 22* lol, it would be that fastest freezer on wheels! - Briscoe'sZ32 (NJ) 23:15:44 02/05/07 You have *got* to be getting a cut from B&B :D - SeedyROM 15:24:29 08/16/06 What do you think B&B stands for? - YugoBernie (NoVA) 15:57:09 08/16/06
