Hey iv just bought a 1992 300zx NA I find it odd... cuz in the 1992 models nissan introduced driver air bags.. and I'm pre sure its sopused to be turbod because turbo verstion came out with no back seats I think... but passed a road worthy god knows how... my front stus creak because when the car was lowerd they used original strutts also no back seats ??? And aircon leaking onto exhaust?? And a grinding/sucking noise comming from engine left side when I accelerate in low revs HELP ME
1st, learn to use proper sentences If I can manage to type this while drunk then surely you can use proper sentences. Though i will try and dig through and interpret what you have said. Firstly, in Australia you can buy an imported Japanese 300zx in any configuration. So your non turbo 2 seater is most probably an oem configuration and not been converted. Airbags were not introduced until very alte 92/93 in rhd configuration I believe and were only optional until some point in 94 in every configuration bar convertible. Front struts most probably creak since no rubber insulators were used on the springs to stop chatter and the like. Either live with it or have them removed and fixed. Aircon should not be leaking onto your exhaust, it is more likely to be oil from leaky camshaft cover seals dripping onto your exhaust if it is making a strange smell. An aircon shop can attempt to charge your ac system if it is not working and tell you where it is leaking from. Grinding/sucking noise could be anything from an exhaust leak to vaccum leak, splash guard rubbing, aiv's leaking or full of water (look in the tech section) or even general induction noise. Look into finding a local member to maybe look over your car to tell you what needs attention and what is good. ...oh, and welcome to the addiction
The Air bags came out in series two 300zx's, from 1994 onwards Both the turbo versions came in two and four seater, however 300zx's sold through Nissan in Australia were all four seater non turbos And as for the other problems they could be anything, have a reputable workshop check it out -Mikey
if anyone hasn't told you yet......Z's are pretty much the same as women, you ride the ass off them & they take all your money.....enjoy!!!
just sounds like a J-Spec NA 2 seater manual to me, Same as mine, they are a little less common then some others. The struts have rubber bushes, probably worn, and just needs new bushes. The Leak may possibly just be a loose clamp. most clamps in the engine bay will probably be loose, considering the age of the vehicle. As for the grinding/sucking noise, may need to be a bit more specific, but check the vacuum hoses for any splits or breaks. Don't stress, as it's probably just little things which need a little TLC and maintenance, being a 20 year old car, maintenance is pretty norm =]
Probably a good idea to check ECU for error codes, if you haven't already been told that its clear by mechanic. Use this: ECU Guide
You bought it knowing all of this? Hope you got a bloody good deal! Best of luck with getting her in tip top shape
