conedodger Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share #253 Posted March 31, 2021 Well, that will hold up progress. This morning, my wife woke me up about 7am and asked me if I could take one of her care home patients around to their appointments today. I said "no, not unless you sing me Disney Princess Showtunes." I then fell back to sleep thinking I had successfully warded off that duty. A few minutes later, she woke me again singing "It's a whole new world..." I forgot she is friends with the singer who sang it for the movie and sings it on Broadway, Lea Solonga... Well, my day is shot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted March 31, 2021 Share #254 Posted March 31, 2021 You woke up thinking about Disney Princesses? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted April 1, 2021 Share #255 Posted April 1, 2021 LOL. I think he woke up not just thinking about one, but in fact, he work up WITH a Disney princess. I think you get significant bonus points for that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share #256 Posted April 1, 2021 My wife read these comments and has decided she is the little warrior in Mulan... oh, and I’d did have to take her patient to the damned dentist! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share #257 Posted April 8, 2021 Ok, coils came in. Another thing I have to create something in order to use. These are the AEM 103mJ coils that were developed by AEM Performance Electronics and Haltech. The ones Duffy is using are not quite as hot but very close and probably not worth the difference for me to go with these but I can't find a mount for his and these are off the shelf at Summit and they are sort of local. I'm by Tahoe and they are in Reno and since we do all our shopping in Reno... I have to design and create a mount for these, If you want to use the same coils, let me know and I will make extra. Not free but you will have a lot less hassle. These are about $75 each? Less with my military discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailnome Posted April 10, 2021 Share #258 Posted April 10, 2021 They look similar to the LS1/LS2 coils.If you haven’t seen it, Godzillaraceworks makes a mounting bracket for them for reference https://www.godzillaraceworks.com/ignition/l6-coil-bracket-for-gm-ls1ls2-ignition-coils-pre-orderSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My objection to GRW has always been their logo stamped into everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share #260 Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Why reinvent the wheel? I just found a DBW throttle body from Bosch Motorsports in 74mm which is slightly more than the calculation for engine 'need' that has a weld on flange with a 70mm square bolt pattern. I suspect it will work but I have to wait for it to come from Australia to check it. I will keep you posted.

conedodger Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share #261 Posted July 1, 2021 In case anyone is wondering about my lack of progress lately, I bought another house. This one has @ a 700SF garage and though I closed, the seller negotiated a 2 week rent-back. I take possession next Thursday.

Just got my bank statement for the purchase of this DBW Bosch Motorsport TB and the adaptor. The US/OZ exchange rate is certainly in my favor. This is almost $400 AUS but $100 less in USD!

conedodger Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share #264 Posted November 28, 2021 Doing some plumbing and I’m at a loss. That happens when you own a 240Z but haven’t had much to do with stock 280Z’s. I'm fairly certain the big outlet goes to the PCV, but what about that little guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
