Finally got the old girl out of the Garage for the first time in 18 months.
Felt good to drive her again, even if it was only around the block.

Now to tackle the Megasquirt tuning learning curve!!!!!

Made a removable rear license plate removable for cleaning behind the plate. Bought4 small rare-earth magnets from Apex Magnets (on-line), put them onto the back of the bracket, then set on the bumper. Takes a good 20-30lbs pull to get it off.
Now the chrome behind the plate can be cleaned.

Hello Frank, Took the 914 out for a spin today between rain showers. I'm also in Wiesbaden. I work for the U.S. Army over here in Germany. Give me a ring or WhatsApp. 0162-2960184. Roger

Got the driver’s side rocker off. Don’t know if it’s been 9, 28 or 47 years. There were 2 big nasty sheet metal screws in place of 2 cheeseheads - so doubt it’s been 47.

Passenger side’s been pb blasted for weeks - no go. About to heat the cheeseheads with butane and let it cool, then try an impact driver (hammer) - gotta feelin’ they’re gonna break though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Pretty cool idea, Jim. Smart thinking on the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/call me.gif) on the back side, should it ever become dislodged, although you might rethink about re-posting the pic on the forum without the phone # being visible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ...

Troubleshooting a too high idle which I think is related to the idle control valve or logic.

Whose idea was it to put a water cooled motor in the car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)
Current problems related to the addition of water....

The motor spit up a bunch of coolant out of the fill tank after sitting idle for about 5 minutes.

Radiator cold to the touch as are the hoses right at the radiator.

I believe it is operator error. I removed the thermostat bypass hose (used to feed the heater core in stock apps) so no water is flowing like it should unless thermostat is open. Done for the day and will have to look at it again tomorrow.


Roger,

That Nissan powered 914 looks great!

I did an early and late targa top/hardware/latch shell game. Found the rear latches from my /6. They look chrome to me, not stainless. And magnetic. Must be chromed steel.

Burping cooling systems in some vehicles is a bitch. Went through that experience on the '99 Beetle a few times until I finally got all the air out. A Might-Vac might help to pull most of the air pockets out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

You need gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

You should see if you can adjust it so you can change according to your mood.
