So this is new story about how you jacked your arm up....You hit the wall in your race car and you forgot to let go of the steering wheel. I like that better than I pickup some stuff that was to heavy for ya!

So I am thinking that this means Mrs Rusty needs to do "all" of the work, you being incapacitated and all .......

Man - that will come back and bite at some stage ......

I took care of her when she had her feet and shoulder operated on.

This is payback.

BECAUSE RACECAR!

Got bored doing nothing while I'm healing. So I decided without the wife's permission to work on the Nismo. (Got caught red handed) Try working with one hand most of the time.

Started working on installing the gauges. Installed the sending units for the oil pressure (1st pic), and the water temp (2nd & 3rd pic). And started to run the wiring back to the firewall. 4th pic is the wiring for the gauges hanging in the sun, off of the mirror on the motorhome. This is to help straighten out the wiring. As it was zipped tied up.

Hooked up the oil pressure and water temp gauges just to make sure they work before running my wiring inside the cabin. On start-up. The oil pressure gauge was pegged at 100 psi (1st pic). After a couple of seconds. The pressure started to drop. 2nd pic shows the oil pressure and water temp after the thermostat opened up. Oil pressure at 38, water temp at 175F at an idle. 3rd pic is how many Dots are showing for 175F. The Dots move more quickly because of where the sensor is, then the water temp gauge. The gauge starts to show temp after the thermostat opens. The 4th pic is my fuel pressure at an idle.

Nice work, not bad for a one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest!
