Is there any truth to the claim most 89/90 cars are rusting out? I wouldn't imagine any more instances than with same age R32's, but talking to importers/compliance workshops they seem to be overrepresented when rust and breakdowns are concerned.

That said, I'd love an auto 2 leather seater TT. It'd be a great daily. Just look after the motor, no silly hp attempts, and it'd be great. Probably get my vote over a 91 Soarer GT-LTD too.

What would John from Unique say if he heard you talking about him like that?

he loves it. it get's him all fired up to bag GTRs, then it's nap time. hehe.

Behold, this is the best way to approach a 300zx

Having quite a few mates owning 300zx's and being fairly active in 300zx repairing and maintanence.

Just dont buy a lemon.

Most of them have no problems.

Still, buy a skyline instead.

Just some facts having owned one myself, turbo's can be swapped without the engine being taken out if u have a hoist (disco Garrett disco potatoe's bolt straight on) but you will max out injector at around 18psi which makes it expencive getting some good injectors I had blitz 880's which were $1300. Internals are strong as are the gearboxes and diff's R200 diff and box is the same one used in the r33's, the breaks are good even better with some slotter slightly bigger rotors on there and if you do the exhaust (twin system) you'll be laughing.

The intake plenum is good for quite some HP but you can do a single plenum aka z33 topsecret style and go big single TB (90mm) the stock brick intercoolers are also pretty decent but you might want to do a nice front mount if you want one.

But having said all this I'm now in a 32 but would like to get another 300zx for cruising, not huge numbers or anything like that just a daily driver that can handle a good squirt every now and then.

I was thinking about getting a 300ZXTT.

Something I was going to factor into the purchase though was spending about 5 k - pulling out the engine myself - doing turbos, intercooler, injectors, clutch, heater hoses etc.

As far as I know the computer can be reprogrammed. If not do a PFC. Would be a weapon and I love the look of them. I think better than the r33 even - got that exotic look - very sexy car and a lot have nice leather interiors. Don't need to get the wheels perfect either - I find it hard to get a perfect wheel/tyre combo for a '33

Cheers

A mate's got a Z32 tt, goes like a bullet when you mash the go pedal, but when it came to corners, compared to a R33 Gtst and a WRX that were with us, he had to brake much eariier and take the corner much slower.

That said, I love the cockpit, very spaceship like, and was a much better looking car than the R33 and the rex.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
