03-06 Nissan 350z Test pipes with Built in mechanical O2 sensor fix

Before you begin, allow engine to cool down. Spray down all bolts & nuts with WD-40 (or similar) and allow it to soak into the threads. The nuts & bolts will seize themselves onto the threads and spaying them down with Liquid Wrench or similar will make it much easier to remove the nuts & bolts.
- Test pipes laid out & test pipes laid out w/ additional wide band O2 ports.
- Close up detail of mechanical O2 sensor fix
- Remove 3 14mm nuts at exhaust manifold/catalytic converter flange. There are three nuts holding the catalytic converter to the exhaust manifold. Two nuts are facing the ground on one side of the flange, the third nut is on the opposite side of the flange. Use a 14mm stubby wrench or “S” wrench to remove the third nut. Repeat for other side.

Bugflector Carflector Installation Instructions

A trial fit is recommended to ensure proper positioning and fit, since installing and then removing the Bugflector will significantly degrade the adhesive performance of the tape. Please check fit of parts before painting as we will not accept the return of modified or painted parts, nor assume any responsibility for parts painted in error. Wash your vehicle’s hood to remove any debris and/or dirt. Dry the hood with a clean towel.

1940-1946 Chevy Pick-up Truck Crossmember Kit Installation Instructions

Truck Crossmember Kit installation for Chevrolet Pick-up
1. Start by supporting the truck on 4 jack stands. The truck should be sitting at approximately the same angle as it does on the ground or slightly lower in front.
2. Remove all the old suspension components from the frame. The front spring shackle mounts riveted in the frame are used for a measuring point. The top of the frame rail should also be flattened in the area where it is turned up for the old steering box mount.
3. The radiator support crossmember will need to be modified next. Figure 1 shows the rear section that will need to be removed to provide clearance for the rack and pinion. The front section of the crossmember re- mains in place to support the radiator.

1955-1959 Chevy Pick-Up Crossmember Kit Installation

Remember the basic rule for a successful installation:
1. Start your installation by supporting the truck on 4 jack stands. The truck should be sitting on the approximate angle that it does on the ground, or slightly lower in front.
2. Begin by removing all the stock suspension components from the frame. The front crossmember should be left in place.
3. Boxing the rails is next. The flange on the left rail should be flattened where the old steering box was mounted and made straight and true. The boxing plates are to stand square on the lower rail flange. The frame rail top edges should be ground straight so the boxing plates fit tight to the rail edges. Do not grind too much off the rails. The boxing plates are then clamped in place, with the front end of the plates against the back of the stock crossmember. Weld in short sections at a time in alternating locations to minimize warpage. It is also a good idea to clamp a bar across the rails to hold them in place during welding. Grind smooth when done. Figure 1.
