Better hope there’s no “mission creep”, with that emissions testing. Things have a way of spreading. :ugh2:

Sounds like rural people problems. :icon17:

Uninvited horses in your yard over people tho.

Couldn’t you just fire up your monster z, give it a few revs and scare them off? :driving:

Was a night locked in an rv with zoren kinda like that except instead of depraved psycho murdering and assless chaps, it was just zoren chasing you around with a dido? (The assless chaps are a given). :wtf2:

Well, I did what my wife told me not to do. I went and got my rope halter and lead rope this morning. Caught them and took them back home. While I was waiting for the lady to open the pasture one of horse was dancing. Because she was excited. Needless to say, she snatched me and my left knee popped. Back to limping and knee problems. SOB!!!!! What happens when I try to be nice, I pay for it.

Spooler 09-06-2020 09:56 PM

Thank goodness for one more day off. I am going to need it.

I survived the weekend. :tup:

Great weekend with everyone that showed up. :tup:

Everyone have a safe trip home.

No one had to spend the night at the Gray Bar Hotel. (jail)

Too bad I had to go to work before everyone left. :(

FPenis even showed up. :tup:

We're going to have trouble with Mia now. After everyone spoiled the chit out of her. :rofl2:

A giant thank you to Chris and Rusty for opening their home and lives to us degenerates. Tell all your neighbors sorry too except for Mrs. Weaver, my large pale white full moon will always be available should she start bitching. :roflpuke2:

I couldnt have asked for a better weekend. The company, food, location and cruising was all top notch and cant be beat. Thanks again guys.

Mia is such a sweetie and about impossible to not spoil! :icon17:

Let's see... the Quest didn't want to start just now.

BoneZ 09-07-2020 11:47 AM

Riddle me this fellerZ. It's obvious to me when I push the brake in and press the start button that the car doesn't know that I have the brake pressed, because it goes into the accessory and then on position without starting and the brake icon is on the display just like it would normally if you were powering it on without starting it. Does anyone know offhand how the car knows I'm pressing the brake? Is there just a little simple switch under there by the pedal?

BoneZ 09-07-2020 12:39 PM

Got home...took a look. Yeah, basic switch. I think it's sticking.

Made it to Jackson, WY. 1,405 miles in 18:28. No pics bc Cali wildfire smoke is choking out the view like Cali transplants are choking out the town.

Z notes of interest:

1. Started smelling a familiar oil/gas smell 15 hours in. Turns out both my catch cans leaked their contents out of the threads and o-ring between the receptacle of the nasty and the input/output/bronze filter top part. The CC setup is PCVs replaced with AN fittings, run to the cans, and then vented to atmo via filters installed in the wheel wells. Perhaps the atmo filters clogged up? The cans were tight but not so tight that the o-rings split.

2. The Coplerworx shifter vibration/rattle is driving me insane. It happens in 3rd and 4th gear after RPMs pass 3200 or so. I think I've isolated it to the reverse lockout cable. When I put tension on it the rattle stops. Release and it starts back up. Emailed Coolerworx ab how they plan on fixing that. Redondbro did you ever get that issue fixed with yours?

3. The Dewla DeZign air intake guide partially obscures the external temp sensor, causing it to lag badly. Several times my AIT was lower than ambient...

4. After ab 14 hours of driving interstate/western US routes (aka interstate but more go-fast) the MT in 1st and 2nd gear starts to sound like a dryer with a load of scrap iron in it. Sounds much louder than the usual chatter. MT oil was changed 2 months ago. No slippage with the clutch, 30k old and CMAK kit. Line is insulated. I get that MTs shouldn't have issues with overheating but I can't help but think heatsoak is causing this. HFCs and exhaust pipes are already wrapped down to the W brace, so maybe slap some heatsinks on it? Who knows!

5. No issues with overheat. AIT never went more than seven *F over ambient. Coolant temp stayed steady at 187. Oil never went above 190 and that was hauling azz up a mountain. As much as I hate to admit it, the Sh*tbon hood does a good job venting heat.

6. The F.I. resonated HFCs better get here soon bc the GF spent the whole ride in noise-canceling earbuds and some Hazard-Fraud earmuffs. Said something about not enjoying the sound of freedom...

That is all - for now. Hope everyone enjoyed Rusty's Labor Day Kokathon!

My coolerworx shifter started rattling like a mofo in Pennsylvania and is now gone again when I got home. It was so loud and obnoxious, I can understand how youd be insane after that much driving.

redondoaveb 09-07-2020 05:11 PM

I never found the issue with my coolerworx but the buzzing/rattling stopped when I grabbed the cable too. Makes me think the inner cable is rattling against the outer housing. Since I've had it installed in my new Z, it barely happens. Maybe the cable is routed differently. I did message Nik Soho and sent a link to a thread here that multiple people are having the issue. After months of not getting a reply, I sent another message and he replied said he's never heard of the issue but needed a video to send to coolerworx. I told him there was a video in the link I sent and I never heard back from him after that. :rolleyes:

Spray some contact cleaner inside the switch* while moving the actuator in and out 10-20 times. Put some plastic sheeting over the carpet to catch any dirt and/or excess cleaner.

*If the switch is sealed up well, you can spray where the actuator enters the body while moving the actuator.
