Playing cards? Sounds like that would have been faster to prep than the way I did it haha.

This is how I re-sprayed my phone dials. It worse pretty well; you just need to be cognizant of where you're doing it. I did it on my back porch and the (slight) breeze played havoc with getting the cards set up.

How hard was it to remove the filter? I have a new one laying in my garage but have been a little reluctant to try and remove the old one from the lines. I am more afraid of breaking the fuel lines than anything.

I polished the paint yesterday. What a difference that made!

Finally found the source of a tiny drip of coolant whenever I park the car...Pinhole in the rad plastic end tank. Darn! It got a bit worse today, and I was able to easily find it. Luckily my mechanic has some free space so he is dropping in a new one, while I'm at work. I'm not driving home for 2 hours tonight in the cold and dark, with a leak that is worse. It went from a quarter size drop, to today where it had a sheet of paper sized mark. It has been hard to trace, as the roads have been constantly wet and snowy, making it hard to notice a leak, let alone find it. Too bad I found out when I got to work. I could have changed the rad myself if I had some time to plan for it. Oh well...another delay for the Rogue n/a tune purchase.

I replaced mine in like 10 minutes with no issues whatsoever, if that helps...

sounds about right for just the filter. need to clamp the hoses before and after the filter to keep from draining too much gas. just need to correctly counter hold the fitting to loosen.

if you see the old rubber lines are cracking or showing any sign of distress - replace them. especially the ones from the pump forward that are under pressure. you would have to remove the cover to see the pump and other hoses.

I pulled my pump, tank strainer, filter and all hoses. replacing everything as I tend to be a bit preemptive WYAAIT.

Finally got around to swapping off my summer tire that had a nice chunk of steel imbedded in it, and put my new/used replacement tire on.

Also having trouble with my 86 n/a fan resistor. Anyone have a working spare? PM me. Mine only works on highspeed until I clean it up, and it works again, but I've had to do it a few times now.

Installed new AOS seals, finished my 3" exhaust from the downpipe back, clamped a gutted 3" cat in there so visual inspection is good to go

Added an ebay lip mounting screws and 3m tape holding it on. I think it makes the NA front look better. We shall see how it holds up though.
