Sorry ill link the old thread now the vid still works i think.

Hi guys been a while since i been on here someone might remember my 300z's engine went last year after running high boost i posted a video of the nosie the engine was making. Anyway i had a look under the car today for the first time. I was surprised to find the leak in between the engine and gearbox their is also a shard of metal lodged in between. And 1 of the bolts that holds the box to the engine is gone literally blown off with just half a thread were it once was. Any ideas here is it the main crankshaft bearing gone?

well right now im at the point were i get a rebuild done which is a lot, buy a new recon engine or get a new car. Personally i think its time to just put the Z to sleep for the winter lol. Saying that i do fancy an n/a will keep an eye on ebay. Thanks again guys. I guess engine knock was never gonna be good news.

well seen as you asked FunkySi yes this car has given me some ball ache. Lets see i picked it up for £900 it started making weird noises on the way home then the auto box went, lost reverse and D gave me grinding noises. Got a recon box off here for £200 and its been spot on since saying that ive had some noises only mild mind you which i thought was the centre bearing off the prop which is pretty much on the way out. I then got in touch with John Dixon about a ecu upgrade he did that this saturday he sugested we fitted the tips at his house and tbh im glad he couldnt find any lol as id probably would have needed my car recovered by the AA. On sunday a mate of mine was going to B&Q i went with him and seen some 0.8mm tips i thought *****x ill get them lets have some fun later. Fitted them and for first 5 mins was great fun then my engine ****ed up. Anyway right now im drunk and just wanna go to sleep will decded what to do in the morning im tempeted just to buy a car cover and just leave it.

I cant beileve the engine is dead just like that, i refuse to beileve it. Im gonna dump the oil tomorrow and check the filter if it has no metal bits in it im gonna take the top off and check the lifters and cam. Its deffinatley coming from the top of the engine.

Here we go, sorry its a bit dark. Right this is basically as loud as it gets it only gets faster with revs. Dont worry im not gonna be driving it till its fixed now.

ok gimme 10 ill do it now.

Well thanks for the advice although i find it odd that my oil preasure went to 0? I mean is it possible that the oil pump is shot and oil isnt getting to the upper parts of the engine?

yes it has an uprated ecu, had it done by john on saturday morning.

Kinda like that although a hell of a lot louder, best bet is if i go record it i think.

Ok once again my car is back on my drive on axle stands seems to be something that happens weekly. This time i have a knocking noise from my engine. Quick histroy with this i upped the boost preasure too 15psi. I took it for a spin and ohh man it was great. I pulled up in a bus stop and notice a slight noise turned engine off and on and it was gone. I started the drive back home and the noise was getting worse, pulled up again and its coming from the right side of the engine. I looked at the oil preasure gauge and its at 0 then it went back up slightly and it dosnt get passed the first positive line, even when driving. Any ideas here guys i really cant afford a rebuild.

Sorry i took so long updating this but i only just finished the work today. The car is working great now. This time i flushed the oil cooler with the the garden hose it actually had a blockage in it which shifted eventually. I then used an air compressor to get all the water out. Thankyou Jeff im well chuffed atm. To anyone with gearbox problems try this it only takes your time and gives good results may even buy you some time on a dieing box.

Ive got it as well ignition on, and it comes from mid front area. I always thought it was my autobox. Anyway ive never had any running issues.
