Anything you need to know about owning a 30+ year old car in the Republic of Ireland just message me. I have my 91' 300zx in Co.Galway (west of Ireland) Good luck with the move! 🇮🇪

I have a new TPS on route, I'll have it Friday. I think this is the issue

Small Update: I removed and cleaned the IACV thoroughly and it's running under its own power now, we'll atleast I don't have to constantly have throttle to keep it running. I removed the pipes into the throttle boddies and there was a lot of carbon built up (see photo of rag). It's running alot better after this. I removed the injector connectors (what a pain 😢) and surprise surprise they wer corroded (see pic). I cleaned them with a file and contact cleaner but didn't see much of a difference. The idle is fluctuating from 600rpm to 1500rpm intermittently. I done the "ear" test with a metal bar on all 6 injectors and they seem to be firing like they should. I didn't check the fuel dampner ect yet. Any input extremely welcome 🙏

Thanks for that, I'll be sure to look into it

Injectors are my next port of call, the ones I've been dredding 😫 are they a pain to get to like everything else on the car?

This is it, some of you Z gurus might not condem the colour choice 😂 its painted Smokestone Blue - came on the Ford Sierra Saphaire Cosworth. I always liked the colour. I'm sure there isn't another one painted the same?

I'm in Galway. Not to far 😂

Hi, bit of a long story bit ill try keep it short. 2 years ago I bought my 300 TT. It was in pretty rough shape. I took it to my garage and tried starting it for the first time (parked for 10 years previous). After ripping out the old Clifford alarm and adding new fuel, plugs, oil and battery it fired right up, smooth as butter! Drove nice and boosted no problem. I then went and started the restoration. Car was stripped down to 90% bare shell to fix rust on the floor, roof, sills, and a bit in the engine bay. Full inside out respray was done, and sealed underneath. Engine removed and reinstalled when painting was finished. I put the car back together and was very happy with the outcome, until.... The idle was never right from when I put engine back in. I done water pump, timing belt, all auxiliary belts, cleaned inlet manifold, throttle bodies, IACV ect. The car is running extremely rich and you have to keep on the throttle to keep it running, there's a small mis at 1000rpm, 1) all the plugs are sparking, 2)I smoke tested for vacume leaks, 3)no codes when I flash the ECU, 4)TPS seems fine 5) IACV is working 6) PTU was replaced 7) brand new MAF I'm exhausted trying to get it sorted as the plan was to have a nice summer driver, especially after the time and ALOT of money I'm into it. I'd appreciate if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

Thanks for accepting me into the group. I'm from Ireland 🇮🇪. Bought my 300zx 2 years ago as a "barn find". It was like Fred Flinstones car with rust. 2 years of a restoration and I'm very nearly finished with it. It's a 1991 TT Manual with 80k miles. I'd love to upload a photo but I'm not seeing an option 😂 I have a lot of questions as I'm having some teething issues with the engine (post to follow) Thanks guys
