Hi All

as title says bought one

1989 300zx TT auto

that was destined for scrapyard been parked up for a few years 

guy I bought it from started to do some body repairs on it and then just left it 

few bits have been removed off it Iam gona try to see if it cranks definitely needs a new fuel pump that’s been ordered and checked all spark plugs there not in a bad state 

will try and get it cranked tomorrow and post some pictures up of the car and how I get on with it 

will look forward to the advice I get when I get stuck on something 

 

 

 

Welcome to the club Riz235 and good luck with your 300zx project. ?

Welcome to the club, great your going to save another Z look forward to the updates.

ah an 89 same as mine save that old girl ... ?

 

Been working on it today 

New fuel pump waiting for some ngk prf6b-11c spark plugs 

i have spark and fuel car cranks but won’t start going to do a compression test tomorrow 

no faults from diagnostics code 55 flashed 

Checked fuses and relays so a bit stumped has been parked up for a long time might try and take injectors out check them over as well

 

 

Just been looking through the car and I seem to have plugs that have nothing to connect to in the boot I know the aerial has been removed so one plug is for that but i have a couple more connectors 

i ll get some pictures tomorrow hopefully 

I think it’s too far gone 

 

done a compression test on it today

Results 

Cylinder 1 160

cylinder 2 35

cylinder 3 155

cylinder 4 60

cylinder 5 155

cylinder 6 60

I think headgasket on passenger side has gone 

thinking rebuild or change 

any suggestions 

Soft Valves on the 89 Models so it is quite likely they are badly worn.A leak down test would prove this.Unless seriously blown headgaskets do not show on comp tests i am afraid.
