Hello i have found a 300zx that i wish to purchase and the only prob is that its a NON turbo :( its a swb manual and i have found a gorgeous VG30DETT engine that i wish to throw into her! Now i have the mechanical skills of a dead fish so i would need somebody to fit the mean machine for me!Just searching around for quotes of prices of anybody willing to fit it for me! Car has 12months MOT so rest of her should be fine just wan2 swap the engine!Previous engine has 78,000miles on the clock so this engine would be up for sale too if anybody wishes to purchase!

Looks like you have spotted my problem down to a tee... http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=94080&page=2 need your help now because it is now running badly. when exactly happened to the ECU and is it now irreversiblly damaged???

Hey guys. I have a '91 300zx tt 2+2 and when really on it i get a crunch in 4th and 5th but none of the other gears which is annoying coz im scared to go into 4th and 5th when nailing it as you really have to wrench it in to get it to go into gear. It will slide in if you keep the clutch down and let the revs die off but then thats loosing alot of speed and the car youve just destroyed now catches up which is pretty lame. Any Help would be great. Joel

If anyone has anysound advice would very much appreciate it Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm looking at buying a Nissan 300ZX, if i'm honest i'm suprised they will insure me so I need to check if i've got this right. I went on http://www.confused.com and typed in my details, put a 300ZX Turbo 1991 and this came up:- "NISSAN 300 ZX TURBO 1990-1994 2960cc COUPE Manual Petrol" So I clicked this one, which I believe is the last shape? but the insurance for some reason is really really cheap and for some reason it's cheaper than a non-turbo one? Am I missing anything? Also if this is the right quote is there anything I need to look out for, i'll have about 2.5K to spend max, I would prefer manual but if I get a better car then don't mi…

Does anyone know what kind of signal the speed sensor gives out?? ie is it a pulse or varying voltage ??? And do we have any idea as to values/frequency for a given speed??? Cheerz

Hi all Started the car up yesterday and noticed she was tapping quite hard. Had a listen around and if I put my ear against the plenum, front one on the right I can hear the sound really loudly although it does quieten down a lot once the car has warmed up though. Any ideas would be appreciated!! Trying to get a video up but it's the wrong format and I'm in work :cry: so I'll try again laters. Anyone know of a garage round Aldershot, Farnborough area who might know what they are talking about?? Cheers

my brother and i fitted my sgp underdrive pulley today :D found getting the old pulley off a real PITA until we took the rad out. but after that it wasn't too bad. also took the opportunity to change the viscous fan and sort out the idle problem (the air reg was sticking). so its been a very productive weekend for me. the car now feels much more willing to rev at low rpm. really pleased with it. just gotta fit my headers now :D
