richmprice Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have always wanted a 350z and been looking for a while. I bought a 350z a few weeks back with a damaged engine. I bought it totally bind with only a handful of pictures. I had it picked up with a trailer. The following day I looked at it and confirmed the engine had seized. But i needed to know why so I removed the engine and stripped it down. I found that one of the shells had welded to the crank meaning the engine was behond repair. I started searching for an engine, here, eBay and breakers. Finally finding one. It finally turned up this week and today I started to put it in. I got it to start with no exhausts at about. 19:00. I am now absolutely buzzing with excitement to get back too it tomorrow. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richmprice Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Will get some pictures up soon. Few other things I found along the way. The seats only go backwards í ½í¹ˆ tilt or adjustment. The manifolds (DC) don't fit with the engine in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridz Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Well done, glad another Zed has been saved! If you need parts/advice, I have found the Traders on the forum to be particularly knowledgable and helpful, zmanalex, clark mororsport, cougarstore, opie oils and redline styling have served me well in the past.

richmprice Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 It has a misfire. Gutted today. I have swapped the coil packs and spark plugs but it stayed on the same cylinder. Did a compressions test and that was ok. Think it's the injector so I've just ordered one off eBay for £13.95. Hope this sorts it. I can put the front panel and bumper on once I know it's ok.

richmprice Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Swapped number 4&6 injectors today. Still got a misfire. Gutted. Swapped coil packs around and new plugs but still missing. Fault p0300 multi cylinder misfire. It seems to pop and fire out of the exhaust until I disconnect number 4 coil. Then the revs don't change much but the popping stops. Anyone have any ideas.
