twoeightythreez Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Here's the vids. Z's parked till spring though fellas.... It had is one and only snow experience. Never again. I don't want to see my datsun turn to dust WHILE DRIVING IT. Start to finish...then topping off with a drive of my Buick, which I gotta get rid of....Too many cars! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNKl0n6oZvY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRw8-dqhsoY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDu_MY6fy48 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLvZWj2e5dI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r7Np8HBxDw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WQBBFTzDBw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXWEXE2pwI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQpxbq7OGow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WFOcQgaAGc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpolKWa86is keep in mind I drove 3000 miles uneventful and the last 50 took as long as it took me to get from california to sulphur springs texas.

twoeightythreez Posted February 28, 2007 Author Share Posted February 28, 2007 It's actually a comfy car once you get used to using a windshield washer bottle (cali washer solvent is water with food coloring, I found out upon hitting PA) on the center console for a pillow and a good crink in the lower back later. I did spend the night in it, got out about 4 times during to pee (man that hurts to get a stiff breeze on ur willy when wind chill is 20 below!) Surprisingly, Z's are pretty good in the snow! At least as good as a vette (lol) meaning: don't stop on a hill. ever. The trip did prove that Megasquirt can work very well in a daily driven car. I still have to tune the map at better than 1/2 throttle and on boost, but the power is amazing. (even with the tune so rich that if I floor it in third and hit 4th at about 1/3 pedal I still accelerate...hard) The cold air helps tremedously. In the wet when I took the car to get washed (it actually got above freezing this week) I was all over the road in 2nd and 3rd, while running on 5cyl. (#5 plug was fouled after idling for 14 hours...that possibly reduced torque enough to allow me to traverse 40 miles of rock-hard snow covered, rough roads that day.) I cleaned out that plug...and WOW...I wish I had a camera, but I'll make a vid as soon as this white stuff goes away. (might not be till March but who knows?)
