1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I was doing this for 3-4 months because I kept forgetting to get bandages. Even stole all of them out of my truck first aid kit.

 

I always carry gauze and electrical tape regardless less. It's the best bandaid you can get lol. 3 wraps of tape and it stays on for days if need be.

 

you know you did good when the light color interior isnt dirty and there were no leftover bolts.

 

Rod holders?

 

Got me a 1200$ 12cfm vacuum pump today.

and just dumped in 500lb of gas

Only i got pits. Nelson isn’t cool enough

 

You got 2 chins though, so that’s going for you

 

Not a starving college kid. I eat good

 

Picked it up from Facebook.

Goals are just checkpoints in the game; you’re not done until you die.
Don’t downgrade your dream just to fit your reality. Upgrade your conviction to match your destiny.

As I experienced last weekend, you never know or set out to use a winch on an adventure. But when you need one, it can sure save the day.

 

I think this will be how the electric car thing will turn out. Electric with a highly efficient fuel engine to run a generator for the electric motor.

Not really a new concept.

They will all be doing something similar.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co said on Friday it has reached a breakthrough in achieving a 50% thermal efficiency with its in-development e-POWER hybrid technology, which could lead to a further reduction of car CO2 emissions.

This new thermal efficiency level would improve fuel consumption by 25% over the 40% thermal efficiency level in the upcoming e-POWER engine, the company said.

"Nissan's latest approach to engine development has raised the bar to world-leading levels, accelerating past the current auto industry average range of 40% thermal efficiency, making it possible to even further reduce vehicle CO2 emissions," the company said in a statement.

Nissan did not disclose when the e-POWER technology with 50% thermal efficiency would be launched.

Toshihiro Hirai, senior vice president of the powertrain and EV engineering division at Nissan, told reporters on Friday that the automaker is maximising the thermal efficiency of e-POWER in order to reduce CO2 emissions while driving.

The e-POWER, first introduced in Japan in 2016, uses a gasoline engine to charge a battery that powers the vehicle.

"It took 50 years to increase thermal efficiency (of conventional engines) from 30% to 40%," Hirai said.

"But with e-POWER, we can increase it to 50% in several years. That has been the target for the engineering community," he said, describing that level as the "ultimate, challenging goal".

To achieve this, Nissan said it strengthened in-cylinder gas flow and ignition, which burns a more diluted air-fuel mixture at a high compression ratio.

"Without building up these fundamental technologies, we are unable to attain carbon neutrality," said Hirai.

The automaker said last month that all of its new models in key markets would be electrified by the early 2030s to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Nissan has also said it expects sales of more than one million electrified vehicles per year by the end of fiscal 2023.

The thing to check is the number of available clock clutch positions. The ARB bumper I have likes Warn winches with 8 clock positions. I managed to get away with a 4 clock position winch because the grill opens with the hood on an LX470. It would have been a different story if I had an LC where the grill is stationary. Though it is kind of a pain to open the hood to use the winch because of only having 4 clock positions.

 

Morning. Woke up usual time, currently hitting a workout on the pull-up bar. Have a dead arm like the first shot but so far I'm gtg. Bout time to shower and head to work

 

Yea I'm still gathering parts, I still need to order and receive the OME lift kit and order power steering lines

 

I don't think I'll charge much since I have all the wire and lugs as a part of my "parts stock" already. I still need to know how much length of wire is needed for the 3.4 starter since it's on the opposite side of motor from me

 

Great job! That's gotta be a tough one. Those are designed and built to be put in as a unit.

A lot of the parts have nicknames. This one is known as the "hockey stick".
