Message	It *is* a breeze, except for: -damned electrical clips -breaking hoses The clips are yours to deal with, but on the hoses? Cut em! The hoses under the hood of a Z32 bake and turn into plastic. You might as well just cut them and save yourself time. Replace them with silicone (except oil carrying hoses!) brake booster/clutch booster hoses are cheaper in silicone from Z1 than Rubber OEM. Replace the PCVs and their hoses. Get lengths of silicone hose in the right size to replace/bypass the coolant hoses. Fuel lines can be a problem as they are *very stubborn!* if you haven't replaced them ever, I'd just get some OEM hose and cut/replace those as well. Not only does finessing some of these lines take a while, but you are likely to score the metal tubes they connect to and the inside of the hose as well. Some don't mind doing this, but it's a waste of my time. Pretty straight-forward.
