Honestly, it's about comfort zone for me...I've never dyno'd...never really cared to look into it. If it was right down the block and cost $50 for a dyno day...I'd throw her on there just to see what the number is. Not gonna lie...I was pretty proud touting that 303 wheel hp that Justin had already confirmed with the pcd.

Anyway, Happy Saturday folks!

It really was, holy shit. Definitely recommend that hike for those who come up to the WA area, I haven't done a lot of hikes but it was not too difficult but very much worth the effort.

Thanks man...130K...
I'll need to look into this. Part number handy? Easy to swap out? Maybe I'll start with that.

I guess I'd like further information...
more info too...brother in law watched the compressor as I turned it on...fucking arcing...
turned it off...clutch not engaging...probably dragging the belt, also why the car is having a hard time turning over, especially when the AC is on.

Oh well...more digging.

So remember I mentioned my wifes cousin was in motorbike accident and lost his thumb...well get this...found out this weekend the hospital delayed any attempt at reattachment for over 24 hours as they said the drs were tired from a 20 hour surgery....come to find out the hospital "misplaced" his mangled thumb which was real reason they delayed the reattachment attempt. He ended up getting it partially back.....holy crap that sucks!!!

You're not even worth my time.

Drink bleach and take your Datsun for a long drive off a short pier.

AC took a dump this morning. Nothing is open on Sundays.

Good thing it's only like 90 degrees and a billion % humidity.

Just spray plastidip on the entire AC system. Worked for a friend of a friend of mine. He's never had issues since doing so.

Oh, no. I guess that wasn't clear...

House AC. The condenser fan motor is squealing like a stuck pig. Tried oiling it but it did nothing. Need to replace the bugger but everyone is closed and it's starting to look like I can't walk in and buy it anywhere. Need to call out a "professional".

Maybe I should spray plastidip inside the motor instead of oil...

Try that first. If it doesn't work, plastidip the entire inside of your house. If that doesn't work, trade the house in.
