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?

Dont get me started.

The list of problems was long but distinguished.

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
