hey guys, this is my first nissan to own. i just bought it like last week. its a 92 300zx TT. it was brought in to my work as a donated car, i guess someone donated it so they could get tax money back. but the car runs and drives...well after i messed with it a bit. it wouldn't start at all when i first tried. it was a stolen and recovered car. the interior needs a lil work but i need help on the engine problems, as i know nothing about nissans yet...i've been reading up alot on it though. now it starts up and it idles fine at first, until it warms up...then it wont idle. Also, when i go to drive it, it seems like it bogs down. i have noticed there is one fuel injector leaking and i can see a hole in the intake hose...which i know those can both be causing that, but i figured i would ask you guys. thanx 4 any help.

if you get it into decent shape you could sell it for $8,000 - $10,000. 10 is on the steep side but you could get ten or a little more from someone outside the car community who didn't know what they were doing. but certainly 7-9 for a decent TT. i'm jealous

i look forward to the pics. have fun!

thats awesome...i didn't know they were worth that much, but i knew that was a steal of a deal....so i took it, lol. i dont plan on selling it though. it has a lot of potential and it is one of those cars i have wanted for a long time.
