Hello, I bought an "86 and hope to bring it back to life. A couple of immediate concerns are: 1: occasionally when I shift to 2nd gear the engine will bog down as though I have depressed the clutch for a sec or two and then it will run normal. 2: The temp runs hot when I run the ac. I have been told that the cooling system and thermostat is ok and the problem may be the radiator may be the problem. It does not leak or appear to loose any antifreeze. Any advise(other than shoot the car) will be greatly appreciated! |

Regarding your second concern, the radiator could indeed be the problem, and if it's the original one it is likely the problem. I changed the original one in my '88 (naturaly aspirated) a couple of years ago, at 150,000 miles. Please let us know what you do. |

I have a 1993 300ZX, with 63,000 miles, normally aspirated with some aftermarket additions- Stillen headers, HKS filter & exhaust, Dinan chip. I've owned the car since new and have always had a low idle problem. The car idles at 650 rpm and keeps searching for a higher idle (drops to 650 rpm, kicks up to 750 rpm, drops, etc.). It all effects a rough idle. IF I put on the A/C, the idle kicks up nicely to 900 rpm and is smooth. The dealer just keeps saying the computer checks out fine with no error codes. Any suggestions? Note- I've tried the 'idle adjustment screw', as has the dealer, and it doesn't fix the problem.

| we have to replace the brake hardware on our 300z, I ordered and got the parts but since previous owner had some brake work done...the cooling hardware wasnt replaced back on. I have the hardware but cant figure out how to install correctly!! Anyone have a diagram or have done this???// HELP!!!!! Donna | |
| My 1995 ZX is an Automatic. I am looking to do some modifications to spice it up a bit. I read replies on another forum regarding a KABOOM 20,000 miles after a(kick ass) performance modification and that is EXACTLY what i am afraid of happening. I was thinking about adding a performance chip, exhaust system and maybe a cold air intake. Or maybe upgrading the turbos or the intercoolers. I have been looking for any information and recommendations about performance modifications and their long-term effects on my car. I love driving my car very much and hope to have it for a long time with the least amount of problems and damage as possible. But like I said, I would like to spice it up a bit. | |

I've had 3 Z's from 1985 to 1987 and they have all had a problem with cold air switching to hot air when manifold vacuum drops. The AC shops charge $800 and up to fix the problem but I'm working on a cheaper solution. After several trips to the wrecking yard I've worked out how to get to the vaccuum lines and baffles under the dash. The last obsticle is getting access to the linkage without cutting through the plastic air duct. Today I'm heading out to the wrecking yard to continue my quest. Thought I would post this and see if anyone has been able to fix this problem without having to do remove the display unit behind the steering wheel.

I bought my great "Z" new in '87, and now need to replace some rusted body parts - mainly starting with the hatchback. ( got some great water leaks). Anyone point me in the right direction to find a good one at the right price. The best auto-body shop in the area will repair mine for $1000 with no guarantees - "choke".! I seem to be able to find tons of parts for the running gear, but little to nothing on major exterior body parts. |
