I STARTED MY 300ZX FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 9 YEARS 

Rusted bolts im finding are my worst enemy 🥲 the next episode is going to be a very long one I think

It’ll look even better when it runs 😮‍💨 Thank you mate 🙏

Couldn't agree more! The end reward will be well worth the effort I’m putting in now 💪🏼

Going to give it my best shot! Thank you mate 🙏

I have a 1989 300zx tt swb t top manual. It’s mint.

I didn’t even think about the piston rings… but now you mentioned it I’ll definitely check them all out when I get to them 👀 Thank you mate!

@@Joshcharlton13 Also check exhaust valves. That can cause smokey exhaust.

I believe it’s 100k miles… but still not bad for 31 years old 👀

Apparently it’s a Monza spoiler… whatever that might be 🤷🏼‍♂️ Definitely keeping it on!!

Thank you mate! Yeah massive rookie mistake 😂

Someone else told me that... which in hindsight makes a lot more sense 😂 Something to avoid next time

Thank you mate, it’s going to be a learning experience for sure 👀

Like one of Frankenstein’s creations 💀

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: •New injector set (370cc) •New injector wires •Set of new coil packs •New NGK Platinum Spark Plugs •Smoke tested •Pressure tested •Silicone hose kit (Silicon Coolant Pipes / Silicone Booster Pipes / Silicone Breather Pipes / Silicone Ancillary Pipes) •Auxiliary Belts (2) •New Thermostat •New Mishimoto Radiator •Coolant flush and top up •Vacuum Pipe O' Rings •Reset TPS to 0.48v and adjust idle speed to 750rpm •Complete Head Gasket Kit (not all of it was used) •Throttle 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.
