[FreewayRunnerZ]

Hello I am looking at buying a twin turbo 300zx and I have come across this one. http://www.craigslist.org/eby/car/24966050.htmlIf anyone can give me some insight to what the problem with the cylinder not firing and roughly how much to fix, I would be so happy.

dude I so want a car like that he says he wont ship it you have to go and get it and it is a salvage title you understand that right??

I could go buy that car right now and fix it for myself but that would be f--ed up. I have a pretty good Idea whats wrong with it. but I dont want to post and screw it up for ya should someone drifting through the forums try to swipe it out from under you. email me and I will give you a quick run down and when you comfirm you have secured the car I will give you the run down on the repair here in the forums so others that may have the same problem can fix thier cars....sound cool?

btw that price I think is a bit much for the condition of the car talk him down. its a salvage regaurdless of what he says and its running poorly.

Hello, I just got an e-mail reply from the guy, and he says "I was told that it was a part that hooks up to the coil" He states that he is not mechanically inclined, so if anyone has a solution or what part it is your reply is greatly appreciated. My friend was thinking along the lines of a distributor cap or something along those lines.

Of course the Z32's don't have distributors, so yeah.

ignition trig unit located on the front of the timing cover has a poor connection due to corrosion. clean it up and plug it back in. walla car runs on all six. clean the cam position sensor and coolant temp sensor connectors as well that should resolve the flooding problem as well/ good luck hope you get it. BTW what is your location?

Thank you so much. I am going down saturday to look at it, and possibly take it to a nissan dealership which is roughly 5 blocks away to get the diagnostic. And I am located in Ukiah, which is roughly 2.5 hours north of San Francisco.

I know where ukiah is as a kid I used to go camping at lake mendocino. Also got my first no seat belt ticket in ukiah..lol. I am to the east of oakland about 1.5 hrs. Before you drive off to the dealer take a good look at the group of connectors right against the upper raiator hose with the car running try wiggling them a bit and see if the idle clears up. when you do that if it works the guy will drop a load in his pants seeing how easy the fix is..lol. Good luck with it.
