hi all, just picked up a 300zx twin turbo, alway wanted one, an now happy i got one, but does need a bit of work tho,

 

took it for a spin an when hit around 6,000 rev it hit a big flat spot an had no power, it does smell a bit oily an smoke a little, would this be turbos gone, ??

Has the standered airbox been changed for an induction kit?

do you know if it's got boost jets fitted?

i think its got an induction kit, i'll have a look in a min, not sure on the boost jet, it does have ajustable boost, has 2 round nobs, no idea what there set to, but thinking about it i thing it only boosted to 0.5 bar

yeah it has an inuction kit, also the car feels very under powered, i dont think its been serviced for a wile, so i'll do that,

pic off engine

 

 

whats this ????

 

 

Those look like Nitrous pipes going to the boost hoses.It can be an engine killer if not used sensibly.It may explain your oil smell.

oh right, that dont sound like a good thing, think i beter let martyn from the engine tuner have a look over it before i do anything to it,

getting blue smoke an a burnt oil smell from one zorst now, might just strip it down for parts,

didnt u test drive it 1st?

yeah, test drove it, started it from cold left it running etc etc, was all ok,

that jobby in your picture looks like a temperature sender for a gauge to me...

gave the zed a much needed oil change today,

Also do a search for boost leaks, that causes all sorts of issues

will do,

well after reconecting the speed sensor wires it now runs sweet as a nut,
