I have learned more about my 08 G35 Sedan from you than anyone else on YT Anthony. I always enjoy your videos. I keep it in top shape and am never going to part with him. (Name is Silver like the Lone Ranger's Horse cause he is white!!) Some brain dead young 20 something ran into him and smashed the rear. No frame damage just need bumper trunk tail lights but thanks to the corrupt state I live in here in US the insurance companies can force you to salvage your title. Plus not offer to give near the value of the car on top of that.. Having to hire lawyer just to NOT salvage my title & get reasonable repair to restore Silver to the way he was before wreck. Another case of billionaires lording over the rest of us. Probably will not even see this since i criticized the elite. Will get shadow banned for sure or maybe outright deleted. Always do....
So sorry to hear that happened to Silver. Hopefully it all works out. Would something like this have helped avoid the accident? czcams.com/video/P4DBI7Wfd2k/video.html
Another great video once again keep it up Anthony. You have helped me many times and my Sony GSX-GS80 Install in my Toyota Matrix went perfect thanks to your help. Hooked it to battery and grounded it behind the dash like you said. Sounds so much better to! Thanks again Bud.
I’m not too mechanically inclined. I have only done brakes, rotors, oil changes, and spark plugs/wires. Other than spark plugs I’ve never touched my engine bay. Here in California they’re charging 500-600 dollars for labor on installing headers. Im definitely considering investing a little money into some simple tools and really doing a long tube header install on my own.
Anthony great tutorial. I'm sure it's very helpful for any wanting to make the swap. The details is beyond reproach. My main question is real world dyno/hp gain, not manufacturers claims. Any before/after dyno numbers? 0 to 60 times improvements? How is the new NVH after installation? Are heat shields/wrap recommended to protect any nearby cables, hoses etc...? Still you have the most professional detailed information on the internet.
Thank you! I have a bunch of follow up videos regarding these questions in the next few weeks. The Tomei set I purchased comes with heat wrap and a shield for the fuel lines. I chose to have my new headers Cerakoted inside and out. I will be heading to the duno after, I expect midrange power to pick up more, since the factory manifold look very restrictive and throttle response should improve due to less restriction.
I bought mine before they provided a wrap, Tomei at that point didn't recommend wrapping, but if you hold these in your hand you won't want to, too tight. Just get them coated, I do plan on getting this material they sell (like a stiff blanket) to cover the cats and headers. NVH same as stock but the exhaust pulses are more pronounced, the gains can be felt but I don't know if anyone has done a straight comparison on the dyno yet.
God , we just started this job the other day using a lift , if your Z or G is old i highly recommend getting access to a life , the bolts were so seized up on the header even after spraying .. it took heavy muscle even with the tourque wrench to budge them , that would prob move the car on stands 😬
@@AnthonyJ350 car has been garaged for years and never seen a winter since i bought it in 08 , car is rust free on the body with minor patches here and there on the subframe and braces but bolts have surface rust and budging a bolts over 20 years old was a bitch , we got em all put but had to order all new studs for the block cause the for piece of mind and new O2 senors all for the headera and cats 🙄 .. figured might as well change them all since they had 114k on em .. but making slow and steady progress 😃
could you replace the exhaust manifold gasket for the driver side without removing the steering shaft? also is there enough space to pull the exhaust manifold back after removing the nuts to slide the gasket in or do you have to take it out completely?
Quick question I recently got a 08 g35s so it comes with the HR and as i was working on it i broke this what i assume a ground wire connected to the passenger side exhaust shield, any recommendations on what i should do ?
I’m working with my son on his 350 HR. We are putting high flow cats on, the problem we’re having is the “ Demon” bolt on the upper right one. We’ve broken a few extensions and even used a 1050 lb impact wrench and it still hasn’t broken loose. Any advice would be greatly appreciated🤙🏽🤙🏽
I sprayed it with Seafoam Deep creep and let it soak for a couple days. And I sprayed it in between. You can then try hammering it to shock it. It is the one with the stud that's pressed in? Or just a normal bolt and nut?
@@AnthonyJ350 I’ll pick up some tomorrow and try that. Otherwise if that doesn’t work we may have to cut it out😵💫 Fingers crossed…. We are trying to get everything ready for the last track day of the year, last is the coil overs. Thanks for the advice 🤙🏽
@@raven69600 You're welcome. You will want to duno tune the car with UPREV (especially being a track car). The car will want to run lean with test pipes.
@@AnthonyJ350 thanks for the heads up about the tune, we were wondering if we’d need to do that. The ecu has a tune that was done before my son bought the car, but we don’t know to what extent. I can say that the car is nearly as fast around the track a the 2016 GT3 I drove!
Hello Anthony, Problem with 350z let fuel tank get too low engine won't idle.... goes dead question??? were is the fuel filter???? I'm having no luck on internet
As far as I know there's no fuel filter, just a strainer. So when the gauge is really low it doesn't run? I would keep the fuel at half a tank. It will help the pump run cooler because you're submerging it in fuel constantly.
It would probably be anywhere between $300 - $600 depending on the brand of headers. I'm just finishing up my equal length Tomeis and they're a challenge to install because of the way the primaries are layed out. I still think they're the best shorty design and Z1 Motorsports is a close second.
So when I disconnected the steering shaft I was rotating the upper part just to mess around with it, and it got completely stuck and won’t budge. I have no clue what I did was hoping someone may know
@@AnthonyJ350 I guess a better way to phrase this would be, my steering wheel is stuck, I rotated the whole unattached upper driving column and my steering wheel is now stuck. I turned the battery on and turned electronics on which allowed me to turn the steering wheel around freely, yet now I am quite unsure of the consequences of this
@@johnnyscotland8495 With the battery disconnected, put the ignition key to the "on" position and see if you can turn it again. Take the key out afterwards.
It is, I have a bunch of other videos scheduled. Some of which lead up to this point. But I wanted to let people know I finally produced the removal video (and I didn't remove the cooling lines or ac compressor) Sorry you have to wait, it's the only way for me to produce content and have a good balance for family life.
This was an amazing and the most detailed tutorial I’ve seen so far 👏
So glad you liked the presentation!
10/10 video, happened to swap out them headers with no issues🙏
So glad the video helped you!

Maybe, didn't try it that way. So I can't confirm.

You can replace the ground and reposition it on the cylinder head. Just find a thread that is unused.

Hello Anthony,
Problem with 350z
let fuel tank get too low
engine won't idle.... goes dead
question??? were is the fuel filter????
I'm having no luck on internet
As far as I know there's no fuel filter, just a strainer. So when the gauge is really low it doesn't run?
I would keep the fuel at half a tank. It will help the pump run cooler because you're submerging it in fuel constantly.
Would it be easier if do this with clutch replacement.
Maybe a little. The transmission tapers a lot and I didn't find it in my way. But the more things out of the way is always better.
@@AnthonyJ350 thx 4 input
@@aydenr2060 You're welcome. Let us know how the car drives if you end up putting headers on.
Can a shop do this ?
Yes a good exhaust or mechanic shop can.
doing this job right now and the nut is seized on the stud and the actual stud came out😭
That's not a bad situation at all. You can just replace it with another OEM part czcams.com/video/StRfDpCH6fI/video.html
Will this work for the 07-08?
Yes would be a very similar process.
I wonder how much a garage would charge me to install one… need to get headers since I’m installing a super charger
It would probably be anywhere between $300 - $600 depending on the brand of headers. I'm just finishing up my equal length Tomeis and they're a challenge to install because of the way the primaries are layed out. I still think they're the best shorty design and Z1 Motorsports is a close second.
Depends on the place, I could see them charging about 4-6 hrs.
It's difficult to do but not impossible, I swore I would never do them again tho.
Where can I find that manifold
The factory one?
So when I disconnected the steering shaft I was rotating the upper part just to mess around with it, and it got completely stuck and won’t budge. I have no clue what I did was hoping someone may know
Can you wiggle it and telescope it down?
Or you engaged the steering lock?
@@AnthonyJ350 I guess a better way to phrase this would be, my steering wheel is stuck, I rotated the whole unattached upper driving column and my steering wheel is now stuck. I turned the battery on and turned electronics on which allowed me to turn the steering wheel around freely, yet now I am quite unsure of the consequences of this
@@AnthonyJ350 I am very amateur and new to working on my car so my understanding of how everything works intimately is very puerile

Does it belong to 2006 as 300 hp?
