Your lack of intelligence does not surprise me! Nor does the fact that your immediate response to someone voicing an opinion (good,bad or indifferent) that doesn't align with yours, must mean that they're intellectually challenged with a predisposition to suicide!

I was just stirring because it looks just like every other 300ZX on the road, a rushed under cooked wedge looking thing suppose to hold a candle to the other sports cars of its era!

I was stirring shit! So consider yourself "a piece of shit" and consider yourself "stirred"! :laughing-smiley-014:

Stirring shite is for the wasteland. This is a legit post and there's no need to crap in it like that.

Blitz.....what happened to yours that made it such a mistake?

I owned a series 2 R33, swapped it for a 300zx with a few mods. I have regretted it every day since. The car costs heaps every time something minor goes wrong (which is monthly) the engine bay is so cramped that i tore 75% of my hands off changing radiator hoses and no matter how much car i take with it something new goes wrong.

I suggest to those who are considering a zed, mkae sure you have PLENTY of patience!!!

But to stay on topic with this thread that white zed did look quite tidy.

They arnt exactly the easiest cars to work on.

Simple things such as a spark plug change require the engine to be pulled.

LOL,

U probly heard it of some 1 huh?

they spark plugs was on top!

no need to pull engine...LOL

I had 1, I could called myself lucky, never have any major problems since 2 yrs of ownership!

the 300zx cockpit feel like a true sport car, if u ever sit in 1.

skyline, i feel its like a family car.

and the torque, omg, the torque!

hard to find a good clean 300zx, but if u found 1, U gona love it to dead!

I sat in my friend's 300z a while back, was bloody awesome.

Back then I didn't know much about cars, and he had a full veilside kit with a massive exhaust. I thought it was a super car of some sort.

Nice car.

They aren't that bad to work on geeezuz. I have one and enjoy working on it you pansies :P

I'll go with Lysergic on this one! Alot of what you guys hear about the 300ZX is BULL$%T urban myth. Any import (Zed or otherwise) that hasnt been taken care of, rolled off the boat and driven will give troubles and overheat.

Yes I am biased as I own one, but its been the best car I have ever owned. I race the thing (club, hillclimb, supersprints etc) and drive it hard regularly and it gives few drama's (only minor ones you expect from a hard driven car).

They can be awkward to work on but most of the normal maintenance shit is as easy as a Skyline. Turbo changes are a bitch but hey thats what you pay for an awesome handling and low slung package. They can be made to handle extremely well with little money and are a dream to drive.

Dream garage one day will be Z32 and R32, what great packages.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
