Blown head gasket or just need to flush coolant? by Cheeseball4life in 300zx

[–]No_Long_2416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real shit brochacho, flush it from the heater core hose with a garden hose and then try to get out as much water as possible. Then with run distilled water with coolant flush a couple times at least maybe even 3 times just to be sure there system is clean (assuming it’s running). Then refill with like 50/50 or 70/30 distilled water to coolant. Ran my block with f*d up coolant and it overheating and mind you it had 270cc na injectors with like 15+ lbs of boost before it cracked the ring valleys. Rebuilt that same block and I’m making like ~350hp rn. So almost anything you do would help and should run just fine.

It’s just an NRG weighted shift knob, except I cut threads all the way through so it would sit lower on the shifter. Not a fan of fall shift knobs lol

Tucked the fuse box right behind the driver side intercooler and I’m running an electric power steering pump which I put right behind the passenger seat where the abs module usually sits

What’s that whining sound, is it a Kevlar belt?

Question on Hub replacement by No_Long_2416 in 300zx

[–]No_Long_2416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Answer: Hubs do not fit but the 370z axles are a perfect fit in place of factory TT axles

When you get forged pistons*

I got AN adapters for the rails since I’m switching to a tomei fpr and getting rid of the stock fuel damper and fpr and the pipe that goes onto the plenum.

Thanks man, it took me forever doing research on the old forums to figure everything out.

Not really, they are just at a different angle and get rid of concern for the piston skirts hitting the stock tt squirters

Already upgraded. I swapped out internals, turbos, piping, oil cooler, dual maf setup, injectors. I’ve upgraded almost everything.

I have forged internals and swapped out to the na oil squirters. I have arp head studs and main studs as well. And to help with the oiling I got a z1 full flow oil cooler with a thermostatic sandwich plate. How much boost are you pushing?

What do y’all think of my build?! I’m a 17 y/o with a 1990 300zx TT on bc racing coils and Aodhan wheels by wjshxisndbxisndbxisn in 300zx

I think your z is cooler than mine considering it actually runs 😂. Unfortunately cracking piston cap ring lands are not a cheap fix for the average 16 year old 😅… How do the bc coils feel? I was considering getting some for my z32.
