new z car ?
Trouble is they peaked too soon and missed the boat. The original fair lady was a true raw lightweight sports car. Those kind of cars are rare these days due to expectations for ac and more computers than a space shuttle. Hence the popularity of these little track cars that are becoming more common like the atom. Even lotuses are fat over complex and heavy these days. Then Nissan became a little complacent the 280zx and first 300zx (z31) were over weight and under gunned. When the z32 arrived it changed the game, it was a proper sports car as we know it these days. Comparable to the best Porsche had to offer Ferrari looks the whole package. When the 350 came out they wanted to bring back that little sports car, to an extent they got it right. Apart from it wasn't light or a Porsche baiting monster. It was simply a mid range sports car. The 370 suffered the same fate. If they really want to bring back the zed car they need to step up, the gtr got re done with a 600 hp monster a world class car like its predesseors. Thez35 should be a proper sports car. A 500 to 600 hp rwd gtr coupe type thing. Stop blurting gtrengines in jukes mr Nissan and give us a rwd coupe that's equipment to a proper porcshe of today.

Miester coil overs have a good rep and good value. Do you want fixed or adjustable ones?

few questions
Ok well go buy/borrow one they are cheap enough and very useful. The first trick you can try is with the engine idling place the tip of a screwdriver on the injector you should here it clicking the same as all the rest. Turn the engine off disconnect the injector connector and clean the connections then use your multimeter to ohm the injector this is much simpler than it sounds. Remove the plug and observe what colour the tip is. Give it a sniff, is it wet? Does it smell of fuel? Pop the plug in the coil pack and get an assistant to fire over the engine. Is there a spark? If not swap over with a known working plug and pack from another cylinder and try again. At the end of the day you need 4 comments for it to work. Fuel, spark, compression and timing. If you were outta time it would be more than a single cylinder missing. If it was compression the car would smoke/steam. Therefore it's likely fuel or spark related. Just need to isolate which is wrong and which component isn't doing its job.

You will most likey find its a pressurised line, hydraulic type thing. You won't be able to simply slice in a new rubber tube. I had my lines remade by a local hydraulic specialist. Not a cheap cheap solution. Now may or may not be the time to delete hicas. First things first work out which line and where. It's probably rusted out on the joiner. YOU CAN FIX IT YOURSELF hydraulics are easy.
