The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXV

On the Z. Got the oil and oil filter changed. The tranny fluid is changed. Working on the oil catch cans. Waiting on a couple of fittings to finish that up. Should be here tomorrow.

Side note. Notice that my fuel pressure is 64 psi at an idle. Before it was around 52 psi.

52 is what the system strives for, if I remember one of phunk's knowledge-dumps correctly.

When I first installed phunk's fuel pressure gauge. It was 52 psi. This is the first time the Z has been started since Thanksgiving. Once i start to drive around some. I'll see where it settles at.

When I was typing tranny fluid in my early post. I was think of you.

Distractions matter, and we can only look to Trump's Twitter feed for so much solace during this time of need. God forbid we are left with nothing to do but ponder the precipitous status of our 401K, mortgage, children's college fund, rapidly emptying liquor cabinets, and / or job security. Please make liberal use of your access to these services to deflect stress, but also, please follow a few ground rules -

1. In the event that you receive a message indicating that too many users are currently logged on, take a break, maybe go take on that home / personal improvement project you have been putting off for the better part of the last decade(s) - organize the garage, do twenty...or five push-ups, clean under the couch. I promise, the next season of Narcos will be waiting for you when you get back.

2. DO NOT under any circumstances use this lapse in entertainment as an excuse to travel to a crowded public place. Do not lick things just for the "thrill" of it - subway poles, religious artifacts, shopping cart handles, etc.

3. In the event that your particular entertainment service is still unavailable, please do remember that you should always have access to Iron Sky: The Coming Race and Krull on my Amazon Prime Video account. That should be enough to get you out of your dark space and focused on something infinitely more constructive. If not, try Idiocracy.

In closing, we will get through this together, remotely, but together(ish) - or really, and more likely, on a shared corporate Zoom link because we have been forcibly quarantined in our own homes.

Left out some political stuff at the end.

Worst case it looks like I can get the fronts from NRS for $920 and the rears direct from RB for $1004

Wrong about the clutch size; it’s a 15.5” double button disc...rated at 2050ft.lbs.
I should have weighed the new clutch & flywheel, easily 150# if not pushing 200

Night Folks,
Going back to the hardware store again tomorrow; they closed 3hrs early today & I didn’t get my stuff

jchammond · 03-19-2020, 09:44 PM

Had the rainy weather delay my garage build & now appears a virus could delay even further

I know my lift is about an hour away & my roll up door is being built.....we’ll see how this thing shakes out

Man, I cannot help but think of all the people that put all of their heart, soul, and money into a restaurant or other small business, and now their world is literally collapsing.
