How To Install a Plenum Spacer and Knock Sensor On A 350Z

[@longboarderebright]

its nice to see new videos on 350z even though there is many plenum installs it still bring a shining light to one of the best jdm chassis of the 2000s!

[@earthisfat6184]

Wouldn't the washers to raise the strut bar go under the mounts? Not under the head of the bolt?

[@antdog0421]

You guys didn’t clarify about the bottom gasket on the plenum, and also didn’t say what washers for the strut tower brace

[@razgriz350Z]

The video came up just as I ordered, which was helpful, thank you.

[@ryzan92]

Wait, he installed the strut bar washers on top? They should go under the strut bar to space it up.

[@baumsel4754]

Yap

[@picklerix6162]

Yeah, I noticed that too. LOL!

[@rcsc824sc8]

Damn the feels😢😢😢. I used to have that orange Z. It was my ALL. 💯

[@Psythik]

What happened to it? Crash?

[@mperformance3502]

Brings me back! Owned a 2003 Brickyard Z back in 2008. My knock sensor also went and put my car in limp mode lol

[@ashtonking2755]

Do I need a new gasket for the bottom of the clam shell to the lower intake and a new gasket between the bottom of the clam shell and the spacer

[@milouSideways]

wondering the same thing

[@N_Richd1]

Yeah I was thinking the idiot didn't even change it Smh 🤦‍♂️

[@timothyjn100]

You're meant to reuse bottom of clam shell to spacer gasket, however you can purchase a new one on Z1. I bought a new one, think its like $30

[@kevm9724]

Heat shield on the harness would prob a good idea,,,,

[@autoperformance503]

Hey z1 , I Have a fuel line leak on 350z . Also CEL on of knock sensor I put everything new. Still Code is there. Is the fuel leak that could be causing a problem ??

[@Brickland1951]

I've been waiting on this video excellent Thank you.

[@chrisa7291]

There were two studs toward the front that had nuts originally. Do those not need nuts / dont need to be tightened down after the spacer?

[@That_Skate_Guy]

Doesn't there have to be a second gasket under the plenum spacer itself?

[@Z1Motorsports23]

Yes! In the video, there was already a gasket under the plenum spacer, there just isn't a clip of it specifically in the video.

[@N_Richd1]

​@@Z1Motorsports23Well you should've talked about it.. It's an important step.

[@timothyjn100]

@@N_Richd1 That gasket will already be there from when the engine was built. Whether they speak about it or not, you already have the gasket there and do not need to do anything in relation to it

[@alexcheetah79]

Should do valve cover gaskets while at it.

[@wesoakes]

Always wondered…..why no spacers for the middle 6 bolts? Mine has been on the car for years but I thought it was odd to squeeze the middle of the plenum without a spacer where it used to mate up on the interior.

[@josephmccoy1134]

I saw some kits that included spacers for the inside

[@Z1Motorsports23]

There are extended bolts included in the kit.

[@wesoakes]

@@Z1Motorsports23 yea, I have the kit on my car

[@timothyjn100]

@@wesoakes Then what are you asking? You already used the extended hardware when installing it. And yet you're questioning why they didn't have spacers as well?

[@cardioking3636]

When do you recommend changing the knock sensor?

[@glitchesftw4776]

I can’t get it to ship in California?

[@PowderCoatingGroup]

Does the plenum not have a gasget under it?

[@timothyjn100]

It does but they intend you to reuse that one. Can buy it on z1 tho

[@auxdog]

can we get this in california?

[@acecab393]

Will this Plenum spacer kit okay to ship in CA?

[@Z1Motorsports23]

Absolutely!

[@duceperkins5763]

all i wanted to know is which bolts to use and you guys missed that

[@N_Richd1]

Yeah it's a crap vid.. He's using a ratchet tool instead of a torque wrench.. Amateur..

[@RyanGetLow]

Does Z1 hire men?

[@nodnarbz_1327]

If that ain’t a guy on-screen, then idk what kinda women you talking to

[@jhonsmith2150]

I slapped on a number of intake spacers on my Z's! An I hve a secret way of takin off the knock sensor, without taking the manifold an injector lines off! VQ power varooom varooom 👏🤙👌🚗💨💨😎

[@josephmccoy1134]

Ok how then?
