As some of you may remember, I’m planning on buying a 300zx TT. Yesterday I where in the shop for the first time to check it out. Its probably the fastest car I’ve ever driven, even though the one I tried out was in safety-boost (or just had compression problems as the boost gauge wouldn’t even pass the +3,5psi line), and it had a something seriously wrong as it had this very uneven shaking coming trough the seat from the back. I tried to find the engine-number, but I couldn’t spot it anywhere. Where should it be located? It wasn’t on that little metal plate inside the hood, which the serial number and some other info stands on.

 

Cheers :)

if you think its fast running in safety mode then wait till you drive one at full power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

as for the engine number im not too sure.

 

hope you find yourself a decent zed (prob worth checking for sale section on this site).

 

gaz

engine number can be found on a small tab at the back of the engine (look down at the back of the drivers-side cylinderhead).

Is normally very hard to read because of rust/dirt.

Thanks Eric :)

 

Yeah, I can’t wait to get my hands on a full powered one. The only problem is that there are very few 300zx's in the area where I live, so there aren’t so much to choose from. If I would live in England, I would probably try to find one through this site, as you guys really seem to know what you’re talking about :) But as I live in Finland, and we drive on the right side of the road it isn’t so clever to get one with the steering wheel on the "wrong side".
