Breaking down only when hot

One thing after another at the moment.

Now when the car is hot (as in I've been giving it a bit over say 15 minutes)

It breaks down like a coil pack or plug.

My theory was that the power transistor/ignitor plug thingy was getting hot and the plug connector to it was coming lose cos its clip is broken, but I carefully wired it together and the sucker still does it. Is it common for coil packs to only do it when hot or Igniters??

its a common problem on the 300zx with the ignitor

engien heats up, solder that holds a wire in the ignitor melts causing to lose connection and car cuts out. let the engine cool and the solder re-forms and the connection is again made

check out www.aus300zx.com for more info, or get a new ignitor

cheers,

Warren.

I have been having the same type of troubles and Nissan cant help me. It has something to do with the electronics but not the coil pack or plugs as i have changed both and the problems still persist.

      No need to drill any holes. There's plenty of access to reach through and behind all of that steel to "push" from behind with a pulling action on the slide hammer. There's all sorts of attachments you can screw on the end of them.

      Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.

      That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...

      It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
