Hi all!

 

I'm in the market for a 300zx and I went to see one yesterday. It was a good price and all seemed ok on it, boost was good, no smoke, drove well, all except the oil pressure gauge didn't work and for some reason the auto-box diagnostic thing didn't seem to want to work, unless my mechanic m8 wasn't doing it right!

 

Should I be worried about the oil pressure gauge seeing as other than that the engine seemed ok? And would there be a reason for the diagnostic to just not work?

 

Cheers all.

I wouldn't put my faith in the stock guages...

very usual problem with the zed is a faulty oil pressure sender although saying that i would have the vendor fix it before you buy - should be easy to get done at nissan

 

regards,

its usually a clogged sender hole,just clear it with a small wire,most of us get aftermarket gauges anyway,the nissan ones are crap

 

cheers for the replies guys.

Any clue's about why the auto diagnostics not working?

if your on about somthing like conzult then could just be an interface prob as mine sometimes talks with the box and other days it just wont play

ok, well not to bothered tbh. As I say it seemed to drive well and everything seemed to work.

 

Oh while I think of it, is there a way to tell if the HICAS is working? I'm sure its covered elsewhere so I'll do a search regardless, but if someone is willing to post up.... :D

just check the steering, if its nice and light and the fluid is still pink-red then it should be fine.
