REASON FOR SELLING: just signed a contract on a house and was planning on taking out about 10-15kk extra to buy furniture, fridge, washing machine etc but decide i would rather pay cash for that stuff so im not paying off my home contents for the life of the house loan. will also need to buy a new car as this is my only one and after putting down all my saved money for a house deposit i would like to have a spare 10k as emergency money.

i also have some GENUINE factory optioned recaro seats and some 17" ragamaster lightweight wheels that im willing to sell along with it for a total of 29k. if not ill sell them off separately, if that is the case, a member will have first pick of the recaros as they have already asked me about them. before selling ill be seeing mark for a final check and tune up to make sure everything is a ok

here is the info for what was done with the 100k km service and plenum pull

the major service should be performed every 100k kms or 'x' amount of years. the genuine nissan 300zx service manual says it is to be done every 100k kms or every 8 years i think it was. as my car is 15 years old i thought i might as well do it for piece of mind. when getting the service done everything looked very clean and tidy. a few weeks ago i had the major service done as well as a plenum pull, this is what was replaced

100k service parts

- Timing Belt - GATES High Temp Neoprene belt

- Auto tensioner - NISSAN

- Idler pulley assy's(2) - NSK/NTN

- VTC springs(2) - NISSAN

- Water Pump - NISSAN

- Thermostat - NISSAN

- VTC seals(2) - NISSAN

- Cam/Crank seals(5) - Viton high temp

- Bypass hoses(2) - NISSAN

- Crank sprocket spacers front/rear - NISSAN

- Crank sprocket - NISSAN

- 3 x drive belts - GATES

- spark plugs

- oil

- fuel filter

- new cooland

plenum pull

- all under plenum hoses were replaces or re routed to delete the unnecessary hoses

- injectors were cleaned

all that cost me around 2.5-3k alone

  • 2 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

car now has 59k on the clock.... drove it to the nissan nationals and the car didnt skip a beat...ran perfectly...the engine still has heaps of go and went hard all long weekend....

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
