Good Sunday Morning All. Hope all is well. Not too much on the list for today. Didn't make it to the food king yesterday so it top priority today for steaks for tonight. For this morning just coffee and getting caught up on things. Have a good Sunday guys and make it a safe one!! :tup:

Ah geez... and I shook your hand once...:shakes head:

A/C is on outside...31 & says feels like 18 :icon14:

Those fly1 fenders in the classifieds look yummy..:yum:

It felt like it was 85 here yesterday. Sweating my butt off buttoning up the passport.

Happy Sunday everyone :hello:

Brake work went slowly yesterday - new SS lines, rotors and pads for KingZtx forum member. It was getting dark as we started bleeding the lines, and I must have missed some air bubbles still escaping since the brake pedal is a bit soft. KingZtx left his Z in the driveway over night, so we'll finish it up today.

Has anyone ever had a fuel pump fail when the tank was empty? Pump went out on a friend's Suburban recently. We considered dropping the tank and changing the pump ourselves until we realized the 40+ gallon tank was about 3/4 full. Decided it was well worth paying a real mechanic to do the job. :)

When I changed out my brakes, I didnt notice at first, but the reservoir cap threads were a little worn and he motive bleeder stripped the threads even more on my Z. Ended up having to gravity bleed. I had a ton of air bubbles on each wheel.

I had to change out the pump when the sending unit failed. Same boat, 1/2+ tank of gas. I dont trust myself with electrical and gas.. I supported the local mechanic that day.

You can get a 12volt transfer pump & pump the fuel into an empty 55gal barrel;if you have one of those handy :ugh2:
The transfer pumps are cheap

I haven’t opened it since I got home; but looking at specs, it weighs 450# :eek:

:hello::hello:

We thought about doing that but we'd have to buy a pump that would be safe with gas (or siphon it out) and I turned my drum into a plating/de-rusting tank last Summer (full of sodium carbonate solution at the moment). Between the two of us, we probably have enough small gas cans but decided it wasn't worth the trouble. 20-30 years ago, we would have gone ahead with the job but we're both getting old and lazy. :)

:hello:

Good morning guys

Gotta be careful with that bleeder cap. That's why I like the steel one. It's easy once you've done it a few times and get the feel for it - the key is to make sure you seat the cap fully before turning. The threads on his reservoir are good.

So what I should have done is A. bleed all of the calipers a second time (since the reservoir emptied when we disconnected the first brake line) and B. turned the car on and checked brake pressure while the car was still in the air. It had been a long day and I was just tired; we knew we had time today to finish it up.

I can understand that mentality :tup:

It's fun when you're young and virile. It gets old real quick once you get old :icon17:

Getting ready to go to the movies and dinner. Going to see "Call of the Wild". Wifey wants to see it.

Put the battery charger on the car. Just sitting around is not good for it.

Brake bleeding went well the second round. It was nice to be able to see the air bubbles. Test drive felt acceptable; the slightly off braking feel is likely attributed to brand new rotors and pads because the pedal pressure feels great :tup:

GodSpeed dropped by in his Nismo :tup:

Did he bring you steaks?

Nope. In fact, he pointed out that I still owe him a dinner :rofl2:

P1606 code turned into P1091... :/

Finally finished putting together the build thread for the honder. Go make fun of me for it.

So that's an improvement? :ugh2:
