Was a sporting event, guy with a 300zx (who was driving it quite well actually, they can are pretty decent cars), had some coolant leaking out the front

"oh well, its leaking from somewhere in there".

Multiple bits to come off just to check out the hoses

That is when you need to take the engine out. :P

Ever bled the clutch on one of those kunce, fkn mission.

Engine out.

yep, replaced the slave cylinder & bleed the clutch in my drive, with the missus, in under an hour. Surprisingly managed to leave the engine where nissan intended too :P

as for specialist mech's how many do you need? Most people do the majority of work themselves anyway but for example in vic theres 3 in melbourne (glen iris, vermont, bullen) & another in geelong.

There's enough info in the aus300zx tech section to do pretty much anything yourself anyway.

end of the day they're fairly different cars but you can have a really nice TT zed for mid teens.

engine out

Lidz, really man, would you say that a 300 is easier to live with and maintain than a GTR?

its pretty easy to maintain an R, nothing has gone wrong so far, other than the aircon, which has partially been solved by a piece of paper, and clutch, which has been fixed.

there's a lot of space in the engine bay too, so no need for engine out.

no idea dude, never owned a gtr (wouldn't say no though!), all I'm saying is 300's aren't as bad as all the people that dont own them like to say... like I said 7yrs owning one, mostly dailyed, & the only drama was a wonky afm. took the engine out to change it though :laugh:

whichever way the op goes though as long as he spends the coin to buy a decent one rather than a clapped out cheapy he's going to get a really nice car.

Tim, the OP's got $20K to burn, so you're pretty much guaranteed he's gonna end up with a 20 year old car that came in under the 15 year rule that was once owned by a 17 year old.

its engine in all the way for me

I have a 300zx and did a top end rebuild with the engine still in the ca,r so i took every thing out except the engine block. i did it all in a week, thats with sending the heads in to get reconditioned They arnt the hardest car in the world to work on.

I have seen road tests between the gtr and the 300zx.The 300zx is faster in a straight line but gets beat bad in the corners.They suffer body flex with the targer roofs. Saying all that i would swap it for a gtr any day

sooo instead of taking the engine out you took the car out? man you must really hate engine outs.

    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
