Replaced plugs, oil, oil/air filter, checked for frozen/stuck rotors (they're are not), and bought a new battery. Next is to check if the fuel pump and electrical system is ok and then try to start her up after 5 years in storage!

I had the same thing with a razor blade to my middle knuckle on my middle finger of my left hand. Almost had to pull the blade out of the bone, and it hurt like a bad bruise and the cut never hurt and barely bled. The marvels of the human body.

What I did today.......looked at a 300zx, the 7 thinks I'm cheating on her haha

Exactly! Thats how mine feels too, like a really bad bruise, but only when you touch it. My two friends that were over tried to talk me into going to the ER. I told them to forget it even happened and it would go away haha I did clean it well though

Keep an eye on it, & here's hope for a fast heal-up. Avulsion wounds can take a bit - - there's meat missing that has to be rebuilt.

Putting on a new accelerator pump gasket right now, hoping that fixes a fuel leak right there.

i recommend that you drop the tank and inspect the pick up tube, mine was sitting for 5 years and i was getting misfiring issues, i dropped the tank and the pick up tube was clogged

fuel problems fixed. so 58psi of sexiness. ran into some electr=ical demons but should have them sorted in a day or two. ran out of money so the brake hardlines and exhaust will have to wait. good news is someone on here finally found me a disk conversion cable set so now i wont need to pay a tow driver to move it 2.5 miles down one street and one light, lol.

Changed a 74 Hitachi back to stock jets and air bleeds. Installed it and a 74 manifold onto the Icy engine. Now just have to figure out which way to run the fuel line over to the other side of the carb.

i wish.. those things dont work on 30 year old tint. you can find them at target ive heard for like $20 you have to scrape it. sometimes you get lucky and it sticks to the "tint" itself and comes off but i wasnt that lucky.

I realized that my Z (bought brand new in '03) is now as old as the -7 was when I bought her in 1989. More miles on it, too.

Replaced the ignition coils today. Next up tires, brakes, or suspension (shocks, coils, bushings etc.) can't decide.
