*bumper support
It was incredibly easy.. Best way to remove it is to remove the two mains holding the bumper support and there's two bolts at the top under the grill. After you remove those, the entire front end comes off like nothing. Then you can easily get to the nuts/bolts that hold the actual bumper cover on if need be.

Well I poured in about 2.5 quarts of oil and now my oil level is above the measurement area of the dipstick and there is a little smoke coming from the exhaust. Air pocket in oil?
I have to drain some out for sure because it is way above the F line and there was very very light bluish clear smoke coming from the exhaust. Well something acted up because there was obviously a full amount of oil in the motor and once I added 2ish quarts it went over the full line. My brother had a similar issue in his 2001 Prelude and his dipstick showed it had no oil so he added 5 quarts and he ended up with double his capacity lol.

two bolts broke, the small bolts that hole that retainer plate or what ever. I cut them off, the other ones came off with out an issue. All suspension bolts were replaced last year so it'll be no problem taking them off, i'll be doing this in a few hours for the whole day. Should be done pretty quickly, then i'm fitting my fuel lines in place which shouldn't take too long.....
Installed a window switch I bought from a member on here, not from the same year and doesn't look like my old one but at least I don't have to use a toothpick to roll down my window lol
EDIT: I also fixed my oil level and I managed to find my boost leak, turned out a clamp on the charge pipe that connects to the intercooler was loose, so I tightened it up then took the car for a drive and the whistle died down significantly it sounds pretty much back to normal and my blow off valve FLUTTERS AGAIN!!! WOOOO I missed that flutter sound of pure sex.

Even stock, they were quite capable enough to run that needle most (if not all) of the way around to the end of the speedo. I had mine topped in 4th at 150 with the windows down in no time at all. With the setup I'm putting together, I'm sure I could probably run 5th out too.Backlash2032;1894115 said:
...not that I'd ever try that unless I were on the salt flats down there in Bonneville though...
Wait, you're saying to remove the bumper itself (via the mounting point to the frame), and the cover comes with it? Man... if that's the case, I wish I had thought of that last time I pulled the bumper off.Dylan JZ;1894144 said:
I tend to run 6.5-7 qts of oil in mine, basically a quart or so over full, hasn't failed me yet.Doat;1894146 said:
Ewww... Nissan parts.ryansmith;1894179 said:Full size spare and 89+ rear carpet in
Nice carpet though, from what I understand, that was only available in the JZA70. Picked up one myself a few years back. Really opens up the rear for cargo, although you lose the stock board/carpet padding sound deadening.
They all do sir. One can even fit a bald 275/40/17 in there if need be, although it's snug. Used to do that to put more weight on the rears during winter.Doat;1894182 said:
Nice looking car man! Is your roof a darker burgundy? Or are my eyes deceiving me?SupraJDS;1894273 said:
just because the dipstick doesn't show oil doesn't mean its empty. The dipstick only shows the last quart. And that blue ish smoke is Probly from bad rings. Not running too much oilDoat;1894158 said:
The factory full size spare is actually a 205/55R16, which is the same rolling diameter as the 225/50R16 tire. (I used to use the 205/55R16 as winter tires, since the narrower profile works better in the snow.)
My '89 came with a board in the rear lifting the floor about 2.5" off the steel, and laying flat over the spare. If you put a real full size spare (225/50R16) in there, the false floor wouldn't sit all the way down correctly.

lol I guess my toothpick is not nearly as bad as your passenger door not locking ehzby67;1894269 said:
Well ever since I drained some oil and refilled it back to the full line that very light bluish smoke has gone away, so it seems to be safe to say that it was from having too much oil.jzamerican;1894310 said:
