Hi all, i have found myself a nice 93 manual tt swb in silver and just wanted to offically say hello to all and looking forward to putting my own mark on it.

 

Of course she has a few issues with a couple of dings here and there. Interior is pretty mint apart from steering wheel looks like its been chewed by a dog. seats and everything are like new.

 

My biggest problem is its only running on 5 cylinders.. but at the massively discounted price i bought it for i couldnt pass up the opportunity to own a SWB after owning a tt auto and a tt manual lWB in the past.

 

i drove it 220 mile home and apart from the missing cylinder it feels really good.

 

any how now on to the tech section and get a spanner on it..

Welcome James hope you get it sorted soon as it sounds like a nice zed, any pics?

Hi, welcome and all that!!!

Get some pics up asap

Welcome James... you aren't a million miles from me so let me know if you ever need anything, I've got the remains of 2 TT's that have been stripped in my garage ;)

 

Mine was running on 5 cylinders, Listen to the exhaust note each side which should help to determine which bank it is, mine was corroded injector connectors that needed a clean up, now its good as gold. :thumbup1:

 

And get some damn pics up :lol:

Welcome! Get some pictures up, targa or slicktop? Running on 5 is typically a coil pack, or coil pack connector. But could be a duff injector, spark or ptu... At worst case it could be a serious fault on the cylinder that isnt firing. Personally I wouldn't have driven it any more than a few miles as you could have caused some fairly major damage. It would have been better to get recovery!

hi Baz, excellent mate nice to know a friend is local.. i will definately be needing some parts from you soon....

 

While i viewed the car i performed the simple checks. swapped over coil packs and plugs and the fault stayed with the one cylinder. will test the injectors tomorrow night and check for resistance. i think its a fueling problem to be honest.

Hi Quavey, cylinder head is fine and all seems well apart from the missing, i took it steady all the way home.. oil pressure, turbos and boost's fine or as much as i could do.

 

thanks mate

Welcome matey :)

Welcome to the club mate, second day of ownership and mine went down on 5 :(

but with the help of the guys n girls on here it was an easy fix :)

i found the cause to be the injector, no resistance what so ever.. all the contacts are the most coroded ive ever seen also!!

 

job for weekend once ive found an injector and gonna do the plugs at the same time.

 

ny the way people, whats code 53? i cant find it on a table?

Code 53 - O2 Sensor (right side). The O2 Sensor is open or shorted (abnormally high or low voltage is registered).

welcome and try and come to JAE BUD

code 53 could be because the cylinder was out on that side all the way home?

 

when is JAE jason?

Update, all sorted... changed all injectors as one injector was out and i dont do things by halfs. changed plugs, fuel filter, oil, filter etc and it runs soooo shweeeet even spins the wheels in 4th gear!!!!

Thats brilliant news mate well done! Get some pictures up! Is it a targa or slicktop? Spinning wheels in 4th?! You need some beter tyres!

its a ttop bud, i cant seems to post pictures, is this because im not a subscribed member yet?

 

been out in it today, this is the 3rd 300zx i have owned others where 2+2 tt and by jesus this one feels stupid fast and i mean shocking. it runs so sweet and boosts so smooth. Are they many differences between the 2+2 and SWB, obviously it lighter but how much because power to weight ratio feels like the SWB weigh a good 250kg lighter the way it flys?

 

It only appears to have exhaust and filter, possibly the ecu could be chipped. The car has never been touched it seems other wise.
