#94 of 171 Re: Engine swap N/A to TT [tr_1890] by Mr_Shiftright HOST Oct 19, 2006 (6:20 am)
Replying to: tr_1890 (Oct 18, 2006 10:55 pm) Gee, given the value of these cars (not a whole lot right now), you'd be much better off just buying a clean 300zx TT right from the get-go. What with computer controls and suspension/brake modifications and who knows what kind of fitment problems, it doesn't seem worth it to me. I don't mean to be discouraging and go for it if you have the time and $$, but it seems so much easier to just go buy the car you want. it would be cheaper, too I bet in the long run.

Replying to: mciceteade (Oct 23, 2006 5:31 pm) Does it start right up again?

yes it will start up again but it will not run normal once it got warm Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 24, 2006 9:57 am)

Replying to: mciceteade (Oct 24, 2006 3:15 am) I think that eliminates fuel. You know, symptoms like this can be 100 things...but the more obvious problems to look for would be a huge vacuum leak.
#100 of 171 hey that tip with the vakum hose was half the story by mciceteade Oct 29, 2006 (6:21 pm)
hey cool i found a vakum hose that was unpluged did`t even see it it was on the passenger side all the way on the windschield behind / on top of the motor. cool that let`s the rpm`s go down once i pluged it in cool that was a good tip   now if the motor runs it still akts out a little bit one it is warm and dies so now that the motor is of i noticed like the humming of the fuel pump all the time and the humming of the fuel pressure regulator or in that area.   could it be that my fuel pressure regulator is stuck?   when i pulled the vakum hose on top of it off i had no fuel shooting out whitch makes me belief that it is not broke. but could it be stuck?

Replying to: mciceteade (Oct 29, 2006 6:21 pm) You'd have to put a gauge on it and measure the pressure I'd guess. Are you thinking it's starving for fuel?
#102 of 171 fuel pressure? by mciceteade Oct 30, 2006 (7:24 pm)
not nessesarly i just think this could be one part of the problem because in general it is running not to bad. but it is not normal that the fuelpump is running all the time and it can`t be good for it either? it has to be something small that is giving me hell.
#103 of 171 300ZX vibration by darrelh1 Nov 09, 2006 (9:22 am)
I just purchased a 90 300ZX manual trans (55K miles). It has a vibration (seat of pants not steering wheel) at about 40 mph. It persists with clutch in or out and in or out of gear. It is quite bad on take off and seems to vibrate less the longer I drive in same trip, but it is always there. Have replaced tires and balanced them.
