4 pointsWe've been loading up AV's Hitachi thread. Thought I'd start a new thread on the Corona virus. Here's a good way to watch what's happening. The yellow dots on the lower right are the scary part. They won't just stop climbing. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf64 points

4 pointsI hear you but this this can be very bad... you basically drown in your own fluids. It has only been observed for ~ 3 months and they are starting to find troubling things: 1. Virus passes before you show symptoms. 2. Virus can float in air and be passed 3 hours after a sick person has left the room. 3. The virus can be detected in your body for 7 weeks. 4. You can catch it again. 5. It is especially harmful to elderly and people wit underlying illnesses or weakened immune system. 6. Many who recover have permanent lung damage. Thank you communist mainland China!!!!4 points

2 pointsI would definitely go with the SU’s. They are so simple and absolutely no problem feeding your set up. Get Ztherapy to build a set for you. They do a great job on my 3.1 Stroker Motors.

2 pointsI get you bro. !! And I agree with your assessment about the rising VE. And also agree that would be very difficult with springs and weights. Maybe I could whip up some little programmable device to try that. With the state of world events, I guess I have the time to work on projects at home...2 points

1 pointWell ITB with IAC and PCV is all in and plumbed. Only thing left is 2 wires and some software changes. Pretty happy with how it all turned out.

1 pointThanks Cliff, looking forward to the elbow bump followed by a tray of beers. I’m not sure how this thing will shake out but think it should settle over the summer, and come back with a vengeance in the fall much like the Spanish flu in 1918...unless we get a vaccine. Right now the only treatment that has been successful is a malaria drug called chloroquine. It is an ionphore that allows for increased intercellular zinc. Elevated Intercellular zinc interrupts RNA polymerase (RNAP), Covid-19 hijacks the RNAP and replicates itself. Here is some of the latest info, https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTi- g18ftNZUMRAj2SwRPodtscFio7bJ7GdNgbJAGbdfF67WuRJB3ZsidgpidB2eocFHAVjIL-7deJ7/pub BTW, the wife was happy to hear that I might be able to fund part of my Z addiction. She’s finally getting it.1 point

1 pointNo way. We're buddies and I'm just messing around. I can't wait to shake your hand at Zcon. Maybe we do an elbow bump? I hope this mess is a bad memory by then. Anyhow, sale those caps and show the wife what's going on. Cliff1 point

1 pointMy decision on iac location. I can use the stock 12v + from the coil and also the coil negative wiring for the iac connected to my haltech. So wiring will stay the same.

1 pointAgreed. I'm assuming weather and heat exposure are the two biggest contributors to the deterioration. Have you got one where it's broken, but you have all the parts still? You could sent it my way and I could poke around with it.1 point

Nice. I did the same thing with the Dremel. Cut out the peened section enough that I was able to get the old nuts off without smearing any threads. The post-process lathe work was gilding the lily just to clean everything up and make it look all nice and purty.1 point
-
I cut the peened parts off with a Dremel. Once the stub axle was out, the nut spun right on, so I know I didn't damage the threads on the stub axle and I know I got enough of the nut cut off with the Dremel. The only thing that went wrong was that my Dremel died halfway through cutting. It gave me a good excuse to add to my Milwaukee cordless tool collection. I won't have to fight the Dremel cord ever again.1 point

Yes we do. That would be quite cool. And thanks for the info links as well. I dug into the one from ls1tech and it led me to another one on that same forum which led me to another good one. Here's what I found: https://ls1tech.com/forums/advanced-engineering-tech/254868-ignition-timing-101-a-4.html and the original article it was based on: http://www.contactmagazine.com/Issue54/EngineBasics.html1 point

That's exactly what I did. I chucked up one of the old nuts in the lathe and turned off all the distorted threads and then used that nut as a "non-locking test nut" to make sure I could torque up the stub axle nice and tight without any binding. Then once I was convinced everything was OK, I took that nut off and replaced with the distorted thread version from the ZX and torqued it till my eyes bugged out. I'd post pics of the nut in the lathe, but I think it's pretty self explanatory.1 point

1 pointThat makes sense, though based on what every Z owner with spindle pin experience knows, the chances of a pin falling out are less than winning Mega Millions AND the Power Ball in the same week. I guess I'll use the wedge bolts... and buy lottery tickets. ?1 point

1 pointToday's mind-numbing exercise: servicing 18 switches with disassembly, cleaning, burnishing the contacts, dielectric grease, assembly. About 3 hours for 18 units. Two others in the batch have broken toggles and will get the new metal toggle replacement switches.

1 pointThanks for posting the picture above ConVerTT. I had the same thought as you regarding the likelihood of the hatch vs. the glass being replaced. The mystery deepens...1 point

1 pointI run the 3.54 diff and the late model .745 transmission. Its a little tall, 80mph at 3k so if you have a lot of hills you may find yourself shifting into 4th now and then. Here it flatlandsville I generally get into 5th once I get over 65 (about2400 rpm) as long as I am not climbing. Its great for open highway 80mph. A 3.7 or 3.9 would let me use it more often around town but generally speaking with the torque of the engine being so good, it does not really matter much. I did not really notice the taller 1st gear, but again I have no hills to get stuck on in a start while inclined.1 point

1 pointI think we have a winner! Here is the new switch installed in a light body, pictured with a NOS unit for comparison. No interference inside when installing the switch. The bat (toggle) is larger and the bushing extends further out of the body. The exposed bushing length can be adjusted as there is a hex nut inside the body for that purpose and one outside to lock it in place. I plan to have the hex nuts yellow zinc plated and will paint one of the switches to more closely resemble OE. Stay tuned to this station for continuing updates.

0 pointsLast month my work sent a crew of 18 to northern Italy for (FAT) acepting two new machines. 5 of them have the virus and are home in quarantine. I have been working from home since and will be allowed to go back to work monday, but my collegue who has the virus is still at home recovering. Worsed of all. The coffee shop must close as from Sunday 18:00h.? https://www.ad.nl/binnenland/nieuwe-coronamaatregelen-nederlanders-hamsteren-massaal-wiet-en-hasj~a861b1ba/0 points
