STUFF
There is no reason to rehearse details for installation on these parts as writeup are already available. Here are some picture and quick tips for some other things you may end up doing on your Z32.

AIV (old
filters - my AIV is removed)
AIV system often pulls in water which clogs and deteriorates the
filters and ruins the reed valves, also causing the GURGLING
sound.
POSITIVE (12v) BATTERY CABLE
REPLACMENT
Your stock battery cables could very well
look like this if not cared for properly.
TIP: Use a Zip Tie and Long Hose Pliers
to help when reinstalling rear-engine 10mm bolt
RACK BUSHINGS (pics of the product)
Many people suffer poor steering/response because of worn rack
bushings. My stock bushings actually looked about perfect, but
now I'll never have to replace them.
TIP: Get "the long bolt" before
trying to install -- then you can replace the long bolt after a
couple days with the stock bolt.
FRONT, ADJUSTBLE UPPER CONTROL
ARMS
Upper adjustable control arms allow for front camber control.
(eBAY purchase - they look identical to recent offering on
CourtesyParts.com)
TIP: Make sure your alignment shop
tightens the lock collars after adjustment
BALANCE TUBE (freshly painted)
Painting any item in your engine bay requires removal of original
paint, light sanding (for adhesion), primer, and high-temp paint.
Easy job, but can take some time.
TIP: Mask end of barbs so paint won't
stick to inside of hoses
