[2015] What Did You Do To/with Your Z Today?

[Oiluj]

Went for a 140 mile drive (round trip) to the east bay.  The Z ran great, even staying cool in the stop-n-go traffic thru San Francisco and the Caldecott tunnels.

Just finished replacing the heater hoses on my 77'.  The PO had bypassed the heater valve, my guess, trying to get rid of a leak.  I found leaks at the heater core and at the blower chimney.  Replaced the heater core and POR 15 patched around the chimney. Turns out the heater valve is in good condition with no leaks.  Saved me 200 bucks on a new valve! But Geeez, I would almost rather do a spindle pin than to do that again..

Wired in dual widebands and realized I have some major carb issues

Drove up to Eureka Calif and back home, nice pleasant drive with the radio playing through the twin 8" speaker box I have in back.  Very fun drive, car ran great.

Fixed my fan switch. The small springs and metal pieces were not in the correct position. Cleaned it and put it back. Works again. Tomorrow its time to look att the hazard switch.

Got Mr. Brown out of winter storage, fired him up, and took a reasonably brisk drive up Colorado 14 up Poudre Canyon (google it) to the top of Cameron Pass and back. I love the way you are so connected to the road...every bump or imperfection plays right through the steering wheel and your butt with instant feedback. 

 

Cheers, Mike

Pulled my hazard switch - polished up the connectors - turn signals again!

Pulled my hazard switch - cleaned everything - Still No front turn signals, Damn it!!

[oranngetang]

That's the worst.... a 'new' hazard switch fixed my woes.

[Pop's Z]

Yes, Charles it IS a great drive. The best part is it's only one of many we have available to us here in Northern Colorado.

 

Cheers, Mike

Spent too much on MSA for next week's projects, then removed and greased half-shafts, removed driveshaft and replaced trans output shaft seal, topped off fluid, bled brakes, and then went for a drive. Z is coming out of hibernation well.
