Message Little windy but I got quite a bit of things done...

Member Eriksu9 came by the house for me to do some diagnosing on a non-firing cylinder. He pretty much diagnosed it himself... It ended up being an 555 injector that was bad.

I believe it was stuck in the closed position, I had to use a chisel and a hammer to get the screws out of the top of the injector cap. They are a pain, but just using the chisel and hammer method was a charm. We cleaned the corrosion off the injector connections and Ohm tested it. Also found that the lower radiator hose was rubbing the power steering pulley, almost all the way through!! It was a lucky find..
We did a quick-fix for now till his alum lower rad pipe gets here along with his new injector. He is a great guy btw.

On to some other things..


I had to put my TT up on the trailer to take it to my body/fabrication shop so that I may get an estimate and see if the guy can squeeze me in to do my widebody... There was an actual 18month back wait for him to even start.... Once he saw my Z and the amount of mods I have.. He accepted to put mine in front of some others and start this fall!! (this is the ONLY guy I would trust doing a fully hand hammered/shaped widebody...

The body damage happend because of a rutting buck ran into the side of my Z :(

I left my Z outside for ONE DAY, of course on a hot day.. and I had one of those "fix a flat" things in my car.. the hot sun blew the can up and the inside ball flew around in my Z and broke my interior panel.. Luckily it didn't hit the glass!! I have such a mess of that crap all over my ~$2k TV etc!! I am so glad I have my parts car for a new interior panel.. things work out somtimes!!

I had to trim my GTZR front facia to accept my GReddy 3-row FMIC, its 4.5" thick and I also had to use my plasma cutter to trim the aluminum bumper support so that it may fit. I will be tig welding a back plate on the bumper support to make it more stout.

Talk about a PITA!!@!!! I must have mounted/dismounted the front facia about 25 times, measure cut a little, measure again, cut some more , etc etc..

When you cut this stuff, it makes some spider "webbing" that just has to get all over you and drive nuts. It also kinda melts and flys around you and burns your skin.. lol


My best friend... lol



Here is my 11 sec talon. Paint is not in good shape, but the interior looks nice and the performance is even better. Just got a tubular SS mainfold for it along with a new big super 16G turbo.


My lovely parts car.... Any true Z fanatic that works on their own stuff that has room for a parts car... DO IT.. It has already paid for itself. Its almost worth having it just to have the actual OEM nuts and bolts... Everytime I need somthing.. I usually have it! I would recommend EVERYONE to get a parts car!

My Daily driver NA Z...

My buddies Mach 1 stang... This car is reallly nice.. I am trying to talk him into getting a S/C and ditching his warranty =)!


New dumbells, hah


Enjoy!!


NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin.
