- Welcome to the 2nd instalment in my abandoned 300ZX rebuild series! In this video, I'm going to attempt getting it started after 9 years of sitting untouched on a driveway. Something tells me this project is going to take me quite a while...

As an engineer, the 300zx holds a special place in my heart (first 3D modeled car by Nissan, lots of cool tech) but I understand it is a nightmare. It's my dream car nonetheless, and it's always a good day when I come across a z32 channel! Y'all are helping me out for when I eventually have one of my own.
Good to see she's alive! Don't stress about the head gasket, the engine bay is very overwhelming but once you take its makeup off its not actually too bad.
Rusted bolts im finding are my worst enemy ðĨē the next episode is going to be a very long one I think
Great vid. I had a similar issue with one exhaust was clear but the other was smoking. We took it apart it was piston rings.
Good luck with build.
I have a 1989 300zx tt swb t top manual. Itâs mint.
I didnât even think about the piston ringsâĶ but now you mentioned it Iâll definitely check them all out when I get to them ð Thank you mate!
@@Joshcharlton13 Also check exhaust valves. That can cause smokey exhaust.
Looking much better than before. Congrats on getting it running ð
Itâll look even better when it runs ðŪâðĻ Thank you mate ð
Welcome to the joys of Z ownership. Hopefully you have a good place to pull the motor and place it on a stand so you can strip it down. Runs really well despite the bad head gasket.
It wasn't that you left the key in the ignition or even on you connected both the positive and negative terminals at the same time and tried to tighten them The proper way is to put the positive cable on first and tighten it then do the ground you will never have that happen
Someone else told me that... which in hindsight makes a lot more sense ð Something to avoid next time
Glad your most importantly enjoying the ups and downs of cars, with all the head scratching moments the rewards are brilliant ðð
Couldn't agree more! The end reward will be well worth the effort Iâm putting in now ðŠðž
you got this!! not easy, but not hard either!
Going to give it my best shot! Thank you mate ð
Sheâs aliveeeee
Like one of Frankensteinâs creations ð
Are you completely sure the wet bank is head gasket related?
I'm asking because I'm having mine worked on at the moment. I've ended up buying new injectors, coil packs, new plugs (the list could go on) but the garage working on it are adamant my head gaskets are fine yet my exhaust is wet too on the same side.
It's ultimately running too "rich" at the moment and pushing out more fuel to air ratio.
My 300 project has been paused for now, but only because the garage that has it also build race cars and they've taken priority more recently as it's season
I'm 100% sure it's the gasket, there is literally no other way it couldn't be. If you've bought all of that stuff and it's still wet I could only suggest the gasket and the garage are trying to swerve the job, as it's an absolute pain in the backside. Have you done a compression test of chemical test from the radiator? That should tell you right away whether or not the exhaust fumes are being pushed back into the rad... which means you have definitely got a blown gasket. They're not expensive to buy and will tell you right away:)
@@Joshcharlton13 This is what I've currently had done:
âĒNew injector set (370cc)
âĒNew injector wires
âĒSet of new coil packs
âĒNew NGK Platinum Spark Plugs
âĒSmoke tested
âĒPressure tested
âĒSilicone hose kit (Silicon Coolant Pipes / Silicone Booster Pipes / Silicone Breather Pipes / Silicone Ancillary Pipes)
âĒAuxiliary Belts (2)
âĒNew Thermostat
âĒNew Mishimoto Radiator
âĒCoolant flush and top up
âĒVacuum Pipe O' Rings
âĒReset TPS to 0.48v and adjust idle speed to 750rpm
âĒComplete Head Gasket Kit (not all of it was used)
âĒThrottle Bodies balanced
Plus a host of loosening and lubricating of other components too. All other wires have been tested for corrosion but are fine.
Despite all of the above, it continues to run too rich on idle only. But the moment it's revved, it instantly disappears.
There's no performance air filter on, only the standard air box.
The garage is more than prepared to do any job that's required, but only if it needs doing in the first place.
@11:50, great way to flush all the rust out of the system. like a gieser lol, hope no one badly burned.
Really looking forward to the next episode. Also always connect the positive before you connect the ground. It didn't short out because you left the ignition on
Thank you mate! Yeah massive rookie mistake ð
100k kil. low odometer. nice score homie
I believe itâs 100k milesâĶ but still not bad for 31 years old ð
Great sir
She liiiiivvvvvvveeeeesssssss! Taking down the engine will be interesting. You can pull it off mate ðŠ
Thank you mate, itâs going to be a learning experience for sure ð
bro youre rear spoiler is rare as fuckkkkkk, thats MONEY!!
Apparently itâs a Monza spoilerâĶ whatever that might be ðĪ·ðžââïļ Definitely keeping it on!!
first start in 9 years, def bad fuel and youre lucky!!! most cars sat that long have injectors that are all stuck, and fuel hanger all rusted out frm fuel spoiling. i had a customer car sat for 7 years, tank was so rusted the wires off the pump fell off the hanger and were free floating live power inthe tank. i was wondering why it wouldnt prime. scary shit. thankfully all fixed now. even the rings in the piston were frozen in place so compression was shit, i let atf sit in cylinders for a week, that plus hand cranking motor freed rngs, had to clean injectors. finally got motor runing good. took so many systems being serviced or replaced.
At fist I thought you owned it and let it sit for 8 years, but I see its a project car you bought. Good save
head gasket job, sorry. but worth it.
on first start with fresh petrol it dosen sound as if need new spark plugs or injectors do need some time running with a cleaner through the gas tank so all carbon / rust can be cleaned off the injectors and they can have a clean and even spray pattern
