1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I bet the CA bar people won't notice it isn't there, it's been documented to have almost no effect on emissions with a new three way catalyst

 

Exactly the same way Tyler was going to go about it.

I'm just going to play that specific part safe and figured, if I've got the downpipe installed, I'll at least run the hoses as needed.

I am my own worst enemy afterall

 

Taco break master started leaking, and then raining a bit -- seems to be a common failure of replacements. O'rileys hooked me up with a quick swap. Hubs did it for me while I ran with the doggo today.

Replacement Tarbo has been causing some random shrieking -- unclear what/where its coming from. Seems to build boost fast compared to last tarb -- hinting at maybe it was trying to tell me before it sent it. Buuuuuut -- gross; this sound is awful.

 

@Kwikvette I remember test-driving a 5MT like this when they first came out. I thought it was great. I almost traded in my "paid off" 79 model Z30 for one.

A reliable sports car was rare compared to Corvettes and other sports cars at the time. My whole love affair with Nissan started during this era. I didn't realize it then, but I was in love with the remains of Prince Motor Company. I still love them today.

Magnum PI was a popular TV show in 1983. It was as close as regular guys could get to a red Ferrari with an open top.

Buying a house required a 20% down payment in those days. So, I did the practical thing and bought a house instead of a Z31.

Do you know about Shin Etsu grease for the t-top gaskets?

 

@Kwikvette I've been using this product since 2010 to rejuvenate door gaskets and seals.

@BartMaster1234

 

Im pretty sure you have to take the engine out to change the timing belt on those lol (the previa I mean)

 

They're chain

 

Is everything Always a glass half empty situation for you?

 

Yes

 

That cannot be good for your mental health

 

all that stress will turn your ball hairs grey, big buck!

 

Thought hair loss came first

 

Happy people don't look at the world through a negative lens, that's for sure.

 

I am pleased to announce that for the first time in several years my check engine light has stayed off for a whole week.

 

Now I just need to take care of the washer fluid light.
