Nissan 300zx NA or Twin turbo : What buyers should look for before purchasing.

This is a video simply explaining a few things off the top of my head to look out for if you are looking to purchase a Z32. If you can think of anything Z32 specific that I miss please comment below and I will try to add it to an ongoing list or maybe a future video.

I'm looking at buying a 90 na and I know the power steering line is crap as the power steering wasnt working at all when I test drove it but the steering was really loose, like you could turn the wheel a quarter turn before you would start turning. Is that those rack bushings you talked about? Or could it be just the tie rod ends? Thanks

@theman121093 - You're dead on. I can't say 100% sure that its the cause of the steering issue but I can say that its doing what 99% of the Z32s do when they have bad bushings. Its the entire rack itself moving when you turn the wheel. When it finally catches after you turn the steering wheel so far, it will start turning the actual wheels of the car.

You said if the lifters are ticking, it could be a sign of low oil pressure?

[tyreeztt]

@liblib89 - Absolutely, it can be. Which doesn't help when the oil pressure gauge reads next to nothing. You just have to use your best judgment when it comes to looking at cars with both. A quick way to distinguish is that the oil pressure gauge will usually read 0 or normal oil pressure when its going out. It usually won't just read really low all the time. On the lifters, just listen to if its one or two.. or 20+ lol They truly sound like a loud sewing machine when low on oil.

hey treeztt , I've owned my 92' tt z32 for about 5 years now and always kept up with the maintenance, oil, tune, etc... i've never came across any 'major' problems but always trying to prevent any because i know these cars are tuff to work around.

my question is, if im going to do a few high performance mods (bolt-on's), should i be aware of anything? -- im going to install downpipe, cat delete, full exhaust, and an hks bov set..

thanks

hey do u have any info in using e85 on the tt? like what do u need and all that good stuff?

[Infiniteuphorix]

@tyreeztt hey man, i recently bought a 91 tt 300zx and had to replace the steering rack due to leak and also getting a new tappet cover due to oil leaks. Just a couple of questions though, do you know what the stock air filter looks like? Cause the guy i bought if off said it was stock but i looked under the front bumber and i can see a large cone pod sitting there with a k&n sticker on it so im presuming its an after market filter.. Please reply, cheers.
