Re: Nickel test...so what's your best?
Hey Steve!
There was a nickel standing on the plenum when I purchased my car this summer. I've driven it about 2500 miles since then. Just looked last night and it's still standing.=D> Charley |

Re: Nickel test...so what's your best?
68,000 miles. 2021 nickel on the map sensor plate. At idle 3 seconds. 2,000 plus rpm 30 seconds. Unbelievable how the nickel rotates on its axis. Just replaced coils, wires, plugs, crank sensor. Injectors a year ago. Checked and pulled fuel pumps for inspection. Quasar is just now broken in. Smooooth. Did someone mention NCM ?touring ? laps? I am ready.

Re: Nickel test...so what's your best?
Yeah, who has nickels lying around anymore? Now you will have to get a Bitcoin and see if it will stay balanced. BTW, I remember going to Bloomington Gold in 1993 and watched a GM guy do the nickel balance thing on a new ZR-1. It stayed up a long time and was very impressive. Made me want to get a ZR-1--which I did the next year. --Bob

Pete phased my cams and Ami's Z also has his cams. Neither will stand a nickel for very long!
