five1oh Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 so the z has been running hotter and hotter and I decided to finally try to get temps down. It was slightly difficult because my Z was at my bro-in-laws house while cement was getting done and then curing. We started with an oxalic acid flush in which I drove the car 3-4 consecutive days up to temp so the acid could work and break down any clogs.

five1oh Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 After leaving the oxalic acid in the system for a week I did a flush with washing soda and then filled with coolant, distilled water, and water wetter. The temps came down a bit but still is a little high for me. For now I am going to drive it but looking into a carb tune in the near future. By the way I LOVE my new driveway 🙂 Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment
five1oh Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Washed the car and drove up to Santa Rosa for the Breakfast Club Rally pre-meet. Unfortunately I was unable to attend the drive due to family obligations but plan to in October.

five1oh Posted September 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 When I got home I parked it next to the 69 2 door.

five1oh Posted December 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I took the z to a meet in Sacramento last week and hit a big roadkill.....it was gross. Busted my front lip and did some dents under the car. Since I need to order a BRE lip for my coupe I will likely tack on a new z spoiler.

five1oh Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) The trip to JCCS was fun. Got to catch up with a lot of friends and car ran great. The only issue I had was I got a speeding ticket two exits from home on the way back. Huge thanks to Chuck from Left Coast Datsuns for the BBQ and hospitality. Thanks to T3 for having me show in their booth. Nice to meet KAIDO HOUSE in person, nice to crash Larry Chen's shoot, nice to catch up with Sung after the show, and most importantly awesome to see Watanabe and Number7 and get the next order in 😁 Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Untitled by five1oh2010, on Flickr Edited January 27, 2022 by five1oh Quote Link to comment

five1oh Posted July 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2022 So I have begun the next phase for this car. My skylines exhaust has started falling off due to hanging too low going in and out of the garage numerous times from treating it as a daily driver.... 🙂 Rather than have my friend tack weld it up I decided its time to transplant the 3.1 stroker I had built into this car. Because of that I will be moving the carb setup to the skyline since it worked so well on this stock L20. In between meetings last week I started disconnecting the fuel rail and fuel in/out hoses as well as the distributor cap and wires. I still need to loosen the bottom bolts on the manifold but should be easy removal after that. I also disconnected the valve cover breather hose and throttle linkage.

five1oh Posted October 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 So I have finally found and acquired a part I have been looking for the past 4 years!!!!! So awesome.
