Hey everyone, As most of you know my NA 300ZX was written off some time ago, a lot of time has passed and I have finished my 20V blacktop corolla project and traded it in today for a 300ZX twin turbo. Now the car isn't much to look at but the engine seems sound at the moment. (Possible boost leak, will have to test). Basically the car ran fine really all I need to do is flush coolant. The only problem in the car is. -no sick bitch blow offs, just stock. - paint damage on the pillars from age. - motor is struggling in the heat, checked ecu codes... All clear, engine is sound and it pulls pretty good. I'm certain it's just the heat getting to it and its taking timing out, ran a ecu talk check and it's running at 94 degrees and it has a automatic ecu on a manual. All in all, it needs some care and dedication.. Which is why I own it. Pics soon to come.
Great to hear you're back in a Z! Having an auto ECU in a manual Z doesn't matter, as it just doesn't use that component (therefore while you're fine, you can't have a manual ECU in an auto). Slight differences in the ignition timing (auto 25deg vs man 15deg) and I think there's something with the 5th gear map, but nothing to worry about - keep it in.
