#209 of 317 Re: i having charging problems 95 300zx [tvance] by zedguy Sep 21, 2007 (4:25 pm)
Replying to: tvance (Aug 18, 2007 12:17 pm) Under the bonnet there is a black plastic fuse / relay box on the inner wing close to the headlight.   In there is a fuse marked "ign cont" on the box lid from memory a red 10 amp, this controls the alternator charge circuit which activates the alternator output, check this fuse, even if it looks ok replace it as have seen many that look ok but have gone high resistance either ay this will stop the alternator charging at the corrct 13.5 to 14 volts   Hope that helps   www.zedworld.co.uk
#210 of 317 junk or sell? by alcha Sep 24, 2007 (8:45 am)
Our much loved 1984 300ZX just bit the dust. It has numberous mechanical problems (leaky seals, differencial problem ect) Interior needs work but the body is solid (factory-custom paint job), tires are good. It's so old though!   How do we decide what to do with it? It has been a fantastic car for all these years, low maintanence and made it to 230,000 miles! I hate to junk it but have no idea how to sell it, or for how much? Also I'm not sure if it can be smogged for sale in CA. Any ideas?
#211 of 317 junk or sell? by hpmctorque Oct 08, 2007 (11:39 pm)
If your '84 300 ZX runs, albeit with problems, why not try to sell it on Craigslist, with full disclosure of the problems, for, say $1,000? That's a lot more than the junk yard will pay. Ask $1,200-$1,500, and accept $1,000 or best offer.   By the way, I have an '88 with 174,000 on it, but it still runs and looks okay. Not perfect, but quite okay; a 7 or 8 on a scale of 1-10. At some point, though, I'll have to decide what to do with it.   Which seals leak? Is this issue simply due to mileage, or did the car run low on oil or overheat?   Please let us know how you dispose of your Z.

#214 of 317 1988 300Z Ignition Won't Turn Over by aikido2 Nov 25, 2007 (10:07 am)
Having some issues with the car starting and/or staying cranked. Engine starts and run fine for about 30-45 minutes..when it's cold. Once the car gets a little warm, it starts making sputtering sounds as if it's going to cut off. Sometimes it does cut off, and sometimes it doesn't. One thing for sure is once you cut the car off, it will not crank back up for about an hour or two. When you turn the ignition it sounds like it wants to crank up, but it won't. It actually sounds like it's being flooded. I have spent $900 bucks taking it to a shop; yet they still cannot fix the problem. Anyone has any ideas what it maybe?.
#215 of 317 Thinking about selling 1990 twin turbo by aesculus Nov 27, 2007 (7:08 pm)
Replying to: bucrucox08 (Aug 20, 2007 3:22 pm) I am the original owner of a 1990 300ZX twin turbo with only 35,000 miles. As you might guess from the mileage, I've pampered this car and it is in incredible condition. But because I drive it so infrequently, I'm beginning to question whether the insurance, etc. is worth it. So I'm wondering, if I get up the nerve to sell it, how do I determine an appropriate price, and what is the best way to sell it? I wish I had taken down the information from the dozens of guys who have walked up to me over the years and said, "I you ever want to sell your car...."

Replying to: aesculus (Nov 27, 2007 7:08 pm) Ebay quickly comes to mind. I would watch the 300zx listings for a while to get an idea of what your car might bring. Remember, if it is priced right it will sell regardless of condition -- if not, nobody will bid on it. I enjoy looking through the auctions from time to time and have seen a few low mileage Z's pass thru there that might be comparable to yours.   There are several 300zx forums on the web that might also help you get a feel of your cars value. Google "300zx forums" or "300zx clubs" and things like that to find them. People participating on boards like those are true fans of the car and would likely be the most knowledgeable about what a given car may be worth.   With an older specialty car in pristine condition like yours, pricing guides like KBB, NADA, etc. are worthless when trying to determine value. For that matter, they are really a joke with modern cars also.   Good luck with your decision. I wish I were able to seriously consider buying it --- it sounds like a real gem.

I'm puzzled. Why do you say "...pricing guides like KBB, NADA...are really a joke with modern cars also"? Replies to this message: traindriver (Nov 30, 2007 2:40 pm)
