    Stickers!! Yes! Thanks for those, ordered it up 👍🏻 Those injectors will plug easily so make sure you really get that fuel system cleaned up or you’ll plug’em up again. I used to work on those and owned a new showroom 300ZX twin turbo. You’ll love the car once it’s up and running 👍🏻Enjoy!

    NGK for Japanese, Bosch for German, AC for GM, Autolite for Ford,and Champion for Mopar. I've had customers bring their cars in running rough, 99% of the time it was because of the wrong plugs. I remember Fords and Mazdas being towed in not running. Change out the plugs and they ran perfectly. For a while Bosch plugs were really cheap,and people were putting them in everything.
    Take my word for it, always use factory plugs and emission parts for the best outcome. 😊👍

    Glad you're back! My prediction is that something is wrong with the throttle body. Contamination or maybe an air leak that makes it go lean. The engine doesn't care about spark plug brand. We built a 850-hp turbo Nissan and ran Autolite plugs (same as Walmart and FoMoCo. The engine didn't care!

    I had an 86 300ZX and I don't envy any mechanical that has to work on one. Your remark "Lets get the engine out." is probably a smart move if you really get into it. As to NGK plugs.... every Nissan product I have used seems to run best when using NGK plugs. I don't know why, but they do.

    Guys your issue is your injectors, you’re already right there. Pull the fuel rail and replace those oem old injectors with new ones I have a new z1 set you can have for 200 bucks, or you can go test flow and clean your stock ones. (Cheapest way) Funny I saw your first video in 2022 now I have three of them and working on them Is easy as hell, but difficult to others. Hope to keep seeing more content from you guys.

    My son had 91 na and I worked on it and drove to work quite offend. I did change the plugs first thing didn’t use NKGs and it didn’t like them switched to NKGs and ran so much better. I understand that the type of injectors are an issue cause they allow gas to leak into cylinders but I didn’t get the chance to switch them out. That car is awesome to drive and way ahead of its time. So much fun. If the body wasn’t so rusty he would have kept it and it had 270k miles.

    Hey, Guys! You actually dont have to swap the LS, or use NGK spark plugs only)) Simply clean PTU connectors (both sides) and injector connectors. After that: check fuel pump and its whiring, check start-clutch relay and after all this thing you have to check your alternator (relay). As I can see in the video, you got all this little problems. Dont swap the engine, swap injectors connectors and PTU connectors on your Z and enjoy the ride))

    You are giving me flashbacks! I was (now retired) a Nissan Master Technician with over 30 years with Nissan. The twin turbo is the worst Nissan to work on. The injectors can be replaced without pulling the plenum, It just takes a little work with a die grinder. Just hope and pray you never have to replace the turbos.

Patenice is your friend when working on this one. Yes def ohm out the injectors early style like you have on here are notorious for going out!

    Hi there, Adelaide OZ here once more....as far as idle and cold start goes.....the rattle is the hydraulic lifters from non use.....takes ages to fill with oil.....the fast idle and idle speed control are on the rear of the manifold.....old fashioned design now.....both clog with carbon.....electrics fail.....removal and cleaning helps.....I have done it to mine 3 times over 15 years now.....Try carb or brake clean.....white vinegar works real well, but need to soak for a couple of days.....and then be real fussy to eliminate the vinegar as its quite acidic....to better adjust idle I fitted a bypass around IACC to a previous PCV hole in the left manifold.....I used a ball valve, but on others I have used a heater tap .....you can control that with a cable as I have done on BMW's and Jaguars.....Yeah, these cars known to be time consuming and difficult to service....BUT.....so is anything new these days.....not made to work on....just throw away.....recycle.....manufacturers want short ownership so don't care......10 years of support if lucky.....By the time you are done you will look back and see patience and learning have taught you a lot......In Australia these cars were hated compared to R32 nissan RB30 straight six engines to work on.....but that has changed now....new respect......
    Hang in there guys, you,ll be experts soon......give up TV...search the internet for nissan Z32 VG30DETT.....lots of knowledge there......best wishes....stefan.

    EMILY!!
    I 100% can agree and confirm what your friend said about her car ONLY liking NGK sparkplugs. Now coming from an automotive dealership world I can tell you that cars run best (with very few exceptions) with the sparkplug their manufacturer suggests. Can't tell you how many times at Hyundai somebody brought their car in with "a #3 misfire" and the first thing we asked is if they put new sparkplugs in it. "Yes, I put some really expensive Bosch Platinums in there". Ya, that sparkplug was causing the misfire code. Point of the Story: try your absolute best to keep the "correct" sparkplug in the car. Again, this is not black and white but there are very few exceptions. AC Delco plugs ran horribly in my Ram Hemi. It only ran well with the Champions...
