Proud owner back in 1972 of a 1971 240z, New Sight Orange in color with black interior. Bought it with just over 1500 miles and paid $2900.00 for it. Ran SCCA Road Rallies and track events... Round trip rallies to Hotlanta and back Stopping only for gas and check points (Stop&Go).. At the time we had to go through Marietta Georgia and fully around 285 (then was 2 lanes each way) and back to Indy/ Speedway Start-Finish line. Best time was 15:17minutes. And to boot it was my daily driver for 5 years! LOVED that Car! Hope you folks have MANY GREAT memories with your newest baby! CONGRATULATIONS! They need LOTS of Yearly Love, which if you drive it like it NEEDS, I'm certain she'll get it! Might think about a turbski up-grade.. An bring her A L I V E !!!

Congrats! I also just recently bought a 91 TT automatic that sat for 10 years. What I have done so far, which I assume you will need: - New style injectors (and harness)- get AUS 750cc injectors from zshack - these have new billet pintle caps - BE VERY CAREFUL INSTALLING THE INJECTORS - orings pinch and hydrolock the engine. These old injectors fail with ethanol and also the harnesses tend to corrode - get your ecu socketed and tuned for the injectors. - delete the PTU subharness (right under pass throttle body) these are very prone to corrosion and create a miss. - when replacing injectors, do all the deletes: EGR and coolant lines at the very least. Look up deletes. -120k service asap I will have to keep up with this channel and see what you guys do!

I bought a white 1990 twin turbo Z with a manual used in 1994 and kept it until 2002 when my second son was born and I felt I needed a back seat so I moved on to a used 540i Sport 6-speed manual. The Z was a fabulous car with very little that went wrong. I enjoyed it every time I got in it and I drove it every day, putting nearly 100k miles on it. Now, I wish I would have kept it as a third car, but having multiple extra cars didn't seem practical then though I have a garage full now. The KZbin algorithm recommended this because I was showing said son, now 21 years old, the 1990 Super Bowl commercial featuring the Z outrunning a plane. Glad to see people still loving this car.

Welcome to the twin turbo Z car family! When I found mine almost 5 years ago, it was in terrible shape with mice nesting throughout the car. It ran but barely with misfires like yours, but I knew it would be worth fixing up, it also had not run or been driven in 15 years! (Had 2004 tags on the license plate). I couldn't believe I had the opportunity to buy this car, especially considering I live in SE Wisconsin and the car wasn't completely rusted away. Mine is a silver 92 300 ZX TT with manual 5 speed and BOSE sound system. Now that I have it all fixed up, i enjoy every time i get a chance to drive it, show it, or work on it.

I just bought a 1990. I never had an inclination toward these cars, but drove Nissan trucks for many years (I was 18 in 1990). I didn't know I could fall in love with a car so fast. I saw it on Craigslist and said "Wow, that's sexy and kinda mean looking!" Then I talked myself out of it. Then I went back and looked at it 100 times a day until I knew I just had to have it. It's not perfect, but it's really good, and I've been loving it back to glory with tuning and addressing all the maintenance she needs and deserves. She purty, just like y'alls'! I am chomping at the bit to throw some time and money at brakes and suspension so I can take her out on one of our many canyon roads here in Montana!

A very special car! I had an '81 280ZX that I bought in 94 and loved very intensely. A red 2+2 with t-tops. Unfortunately I had a minor crash with it about 3 years later. It was repairable but I was young and never really had the money to get it fixed. it sat for about 3 years before I finally sold it to someone who wanted to fix it up. I've always lusted after the 300ZX TT and still think it's one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I still hope to find one someday. A very lucky find! Shame about the automatic transmission though ...

I have 5 300zx of my own and rebuild many engines, take the fan and radiator out, front off the engine , be careful with the tensor, they break very easy, follow the manual. Take cam socket off again its easy, then from the top, the top of the inlet manifold, then Rocker covers, cams, the lifter out and are easy to pull apart and clean, they can pump up and hold the valves open, you can check with a compression test, or Leck down, will tell you which valves are open, we talking only. 5 of a mm. I sure you can find lots of videos about this. And change the inlet manifold so you reinstall with the engine in the car again. Very hard to put it back on again. Enjoy your time working on it.

Congratulations on your beautiful 300 ZX. I'm a Corvette guy myself but in those days there was only the C3. I did not like that type so much so my thoughts went to the 280Z and 300 ZX. Here in the Netherlands, these sportscars, like the 300ZX and C3 were and are not so common. So you were pretty rich to have one. Now I'm not rich and never have been but when Corvette came with the '90 C4 model, I did change my interest in Corvette again. But never had one, till 12 years ago when I purchased my '93 C4 which I still own now. But I still love the 300ZX shape, which is pretty much the same as the C4. Oh yes, I will follow the channel to see this beautiful car coming to a second life again with two caring car people. The Nissan deserve this. Give her a lot of TLC.

I got a 92 ZX 2+0 NA for $600. Needed a ton of repairs as it sat outside for 6-8 years. Had a bad coolant leak because the seal had gone, as well as it needed new injectors because they were all clogged. Seal was fixed by moving a clamp on the radiator hose Hardest thing is working in that engine bay, along with the wiring, and cleaning the suede. For the suede, use a steam gun, and a soft brush. I would also recommend an engine kill switch for the battery so there is no parasitic drain when not running, and even an ignition kill switch.

My step father purchased one of these with about 60k miles on it. He was a mechanic for his entire life and typical mechanic fashion he wanted to go through the engine. Typical check plugs, check wiring, fluids, etc. When he realized he would have to take the heads off to get to the plugs, he sold it a week later. LOL. I got to ride in it before he sold it and it was incredibly quick even in stock form. I ran into another guy I worked with after he passed that had one he did some work to back in the 2000's before the HP wars started back up and he was running over 400hp to the wheels after converting it to a single turbo. I've always thought those cars were very attractive and obviously fast. But I think the engines are overly complicated which is one reason I got rid of my Infiniti G37s which is basically a 370Z in sheep's clothing. Glad you were able to get your hands on what I assume is a bucket list vehicle. You say it is a weekend driver, but I have a feeling it might become more after you drive it for a bit.

MT ended up only doing one season of the show (which they hilariously titled, Live Love Wrench) and didn’t renew it for another season telling us the audience just wasn’t there for a show like ours on TV 😂😝 We wouldn’t agree to drama, fake endings, additional mechanics to do the work for us or really any of the tv crap that doesn’t align with who we are. Sadly, the network wouldn’t let us work on any of our real cars, so they came up with the vehicles we worked on. That caused the show to lack the personal feeling our series here has- plus just the different editing and such… I wasn’t a big fan of how the show turned out- so we ended up thankful the network didn’t renew it! 😂

@@flyingsparksgarage that is fantastic to hear, just happy to NOT see a $7000-15000 Gearstar (fantastic company by the way!!) trans in almost every build of a beater. Keep it up and glad y'all and MT didn't see exactly eye to eye.

Looks awesome..You must clean the fuel tank also along with new fuel filter and new spark plugs too if possible. She is one of a kind.

Sweet ride you now have there. I got my 90 300 2x2 tt rhd about 5 months ago and pretty much look at it every day when I go to work and come home( it’s in the driveway.lol) it will be coming into the garage this winter for a makeover. Anyway it’s so nice to see another one saved.

What absolute score!!!! These were PLENTIFUL in Nz back in the 90s and hearing the story of original owner complaining about the corvettes? My neighbour happened to be a Vette enthusiast and had a pristine condition red C3 but wanted a "paddock hack" to daily drive and ended up with a red 300zx...it's abit rare to see these cars around and in mint condition at that, many were stolen and thrashed/written off

I only have experience in the non turbo model in Australia. In the early naughties, this car was unusual, for most new cars at that time in that it was a DRIVERS CAR .. 💯 loved to be driven hard .. few cars since match this vehicle today for the money !
