Hey im looking into getting an 86 300zx. you guys have many problems with yours. ive hurd some bad stuff about em apperently hard to get parts for a laybor is expensive on em cause of position of motor. and the one in this vid it the turbo model.
It wasn't a dead cylinder. The reason the engine had to be rebuilt was that it was originally an automatic and someone before I bought it had done a hackjob of a manual swap. Whatever crank pulley is on the engine doesn't have the correct markings for the timing for the engine somehow, and during this video 2 of the spark wires were switched as well, causing some interesting timing on the engine. (Running well after TDC)
With tricky setup of a tripod. it kept falling to the side in turns though. Was annoying. I ended up using 1 hand to hold it up during parts of the vid. Plus it helps that it's only a 2 seater and it has spots to stick the legs of the tripod.
That sounds amazing....
