So, took the timing cover off. Yup, was a gallery gasket issue. Gasket blew, lost oil pressure while WOT and spun a bearing. Wouldn't be surprised if there is damage on multiple bearings. Pics

LOL, one of topgun's cheerleaders.

Ouch. damn.

:shakes head:

Got scared, Panic stopped, locked up the brakes, and straight off he went. Glad nobody was coming the other way.

Yup. In track driving training, they really try to drill this natural reaction out. Lol, Also NOT to shadow the guy in front of you.

If you ride a motorcycle, this is the first thing you learn or crash.

Now for the good laugh.

He didn't run out of road. He ran out of skill. Driving over his head. :shakes head:

Everyone have a great weekend!!:happydance:

Rain started around 11 and hasn't quit.

Send it our way. It is dry as a bone down here.

I could see ew doing something like this. :icon14:

It's going to rain all the way up to Monday. :icon14:

yeah because you know me.. idiot, saying idiotic things.:iagree:

sorry to hear that.

And tonight’s featured special “The War Wagon” :tup:

:eek:

fify

Beat me to it. :rofl2:

I picked up a new fuel pressure gauge for the fuel pressure regulator

:ugh:

gotta love it when you're waiting on car parts, you've waited all day, the car is up on jack stands and ready for the install, and the Amazon delivery driver arrives minutes just before sunset. :mad:

sucks. sucks. sucks.

:tup:

I'm looking at this gauge. It has Low and High warning lights.

My wideband and boost gauges are Speedhut (thanks to your recommendation). The one I just bought is obviously for under the hood. The in dash you're looking at isn't a bad idea :iagree:

Have a great holiday weekend reps. :tiphat:

I have the pressure gauge that comes with phunk's kit under the hood. I was looking at the Speedhut gauge to go into my cubby like the other gauges I have there.

I have phunks gauge too but it's turned all yellow. I wonder if the e85 discolored it. It's a real cheap gauge anyway.

If it turned yellow. It leaked internally.

Good thing I'm replacing it then :tup: I remember Charles mentioning that it's not a quality gauge. I think he was selling them for $25

Murphy’s law kicking in again. Gotta roll with punches. :tup:

This is just a motor that I sourced for a TT build. I would be pissed if my 14 Nismo had this issue. Luckily they fixed this with 2012+ models. Just need to pull the bottom end apart next and assess the damage

So, remember a couple days ago how I said I was gonna start looking into researching ls swapping a 240-280z?

Well, I did some initial research….holy sh1t prices for old z’s are not what i remembered from 10-15 years ago. :eek:

I expected some increase in prices but damn. A beat to **** possibly rolled rust bucket was going for over 5k. :icon14: I mean that’s just a parts shell.

Maybe wifey and I will just wait a few years and just pick up a new z35 at some point to go with our TT RS. :tup: She likes that idea as well. Not as cool but way less headaches.

Morning Folks :hello:

T-69 :yum:

Happy Saturday everyone :hello:

Please enjoy your Memorial Day weekend :tiphat:

I hate that, too :shakes head:

Good Saturday Morning All. 86* for the high today with a 20% chance of more rain. Got almost 1 1/2" of rain last night in a very short time. :icon14: However we are still above water. :happydance: The Mrs and I are going to get out and enjoy the day. Hope you all have a Great Saturday. Stay Safe, Stay Positive and Keep Washing Those Hands. :tup: :usa:

No way.

Ew wouldn't be able to find anyone else to drive with. :stirthepot:
