I found that out last saturday!! quick diagnostic and setup session at Jeff TT's place - absolutely superb!! :biggrin:

thanks for the pointers Jeff TT. started to look at a few things tonight to try and work through your list - thought i might check the state of spark plugs first to get an overall idea of ignition. plugs were clean but did smell strongly of fuel which i though strange - any thoughts? thanks zedatlast

hi Rebel Scum yeah, not too far away from you at all!! thanks for the welcome! pick your brains if i can for a minute - know anyone local who can do a decent engine check and diagnostic as recommended by Jeff TT? i want to try and get involved as much as poss with my zed but second opinions on an issues cant hurt! any help out there would be great! thanks

here's another they ARE fantastic machines aren't they!! nothin like 'em!!

oh yeah!! it is black!! and they ARE the fastest!! lol i have only had it 3 weeks but am hoping to get it looking really nice and performing well with just subtle mods and upgrades! wanna get some better pics uploaded too at some point soon!

thanks for the quick responses guys - great helpful suggestions already!! will defo get some pics up according to "the law" lol and thanks jeff tt for the helpful checklist - will go through it as soon as i can! so i can tell from the early enthusiasm i have picked a great hero in the 300zx!! zedatlast

Hi guys as a new 300zx owner (wanted one for many years and finally got round to getting a project to play with!) i am still getting used to all the things i need to keep an eye on! here are just a few of the things i have noticed: hesitation and stutter under take off from a standstill with hard acceleration (doesnt happen if you're gentle or from a rolling start) oil pressure seems to fluctuate sometimes with no nasty sounds of bad oil circulation strange hiss noise from the boot just after starting up as if something is pressurising? lasts about 2 seconds if anyone has some pointers for these things i would appreciate it a lot - wouldnt want to give up on my dream car now i have one (was all i could afford at the time and thought it was worth what i paid!) other than these few points it runs and drives fine thanks all ZEDATLAST
