hi everyone,

for sale is my 1990 300zx, i bought it a few months ago hoping for a weekend cruiser but seems to have turned into a bit of a project car which i simply dont have the time for due to work commitments, which sucks as this thing has a lot of potential :)

Good points

the car is pretty straight except for 1 or 2 shopping centre bumps

has a new fuel filter fitted, interior is in excellent condition. car has been servieced recently, including spark plugs etc.

new drift style steering wheel and boss kit (may keep will decide upon sale)

new dash headlight/cruise control assembly (not installed yet)

new tie rod ends (yet to be installed)

new drive shaft centre bearing (yet to be installed)

new gas struts for rear hatch (yet to be installed)

Bad Points

upon giving the car a service i have found that piston 6's spark plug was covered in oil, and number 4 had some fine metal shavings, it is blowing a bit of smoke, but the engine still runs fine and isn't burning any oil, as i said before i dont have the time to find out what is wrong with it. engine still feels strong and healthy, and revs to red line with no hassle's.

there is a slight vibration in the rear end, hence the reason i have bought the new centre bearing for the drive shaft and new tie rod ends, as far as i can tell these will get rid of the vibration, still trying to find the time to install them, hopefully its done by the time someone comes and takes a look.

thats all i can think of for now, best off coming and having a look, what you see is what you get. im being completely honest here, the car does need some work, just trying to get some money back, I was kept in the dark when I bought the car so yeh, don?t want that happening to someone else. refer to this thread if you like probly has a bit more info on the car than what ive put up here

any way here's a couple of pics

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
