what are the biggest size rims i can fit on 1987 nissan 300zx without cutting frame?

you need a new cluster gauge.

hello fellow Minnesotian... I would start by having battery cables checked. Reason; when cold they contract and make good contact, after they warm up they expand a little and loosen up just enough to lose contact surface. Clean them both at battery and lower contact points. Especially lower points, they're exposed to grease, road grime and snow, slush & road salt.

Good Luck

Does the right side of you car have a rust hole by the rear wheel,Check the wries that go to the fuel pump,Thear is a panel in the back on the right side check the wries.

replace the heater core. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/kenneth_3efc1f8510674f04

Check the universal joints

check under the hood to see if there is a vacumm hose that supplies the heater ac vacumm to open and close the doors in the heater ac box.some times that hose is broke or leaking.it will be routed throught the firewall.

brake light switch, the float is bad. Dealers might sell floats but more then likely you will need to replace the fuel pump. Hope this helped tim

see my notes at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5929960-s_thermostat and let me know if you have questions.

It is almost impossible. You can get to a few of them but you will need a flex socket attachment. It also helps a little if you take the fender splash guards and front tires off and go in through the fender wells.

18 mpg to 25 mpg on the highway.

And 1/2 that around town.

It's a good car.

Hello there,

Don't believe it.

When ever I'm called to extract a broken key there are two improvised tools that have never failed.

• A coping saw blade
• A cutting torch nozzle file

The coping saw blade actually needs to be broken so the ends are flat.
Insert is so when you pull it out, the teeth grab the key piece.

A torch file has several small diameter rasplike round files. They are small enough to to get in next to the key, abrasive enough to drag it out.

Take your time, use plenty of light (it helps) and be prepared to show off.

Best regards
Mike

I have learned that my 87 Z's electrical issues are par for the course with this model. Having the mess of electrical diagnosed is pricey, and often without result. One problem I fixed with the help of an Ebayer selling my same car...the many routes for water to get in often short things out. His had the same issue as mine, in that the rear brake lights provide an avenue for water. It took me several fixes to get it right. Hatch and t-tops also allow moisture to collect in rear well/tool storage, and corode things on the way. I still find shorts that drain my battery, it's an ongoing project, but I love a challenge!
hope this helps

Hi!!

Did you check for 12v current going to the coil and distributor? if not,
check ignition switch, it may be defective

Check ignition wiring for loose or broken wires

Pick-Up Coil Operation:
Used instead of breaker points, the pick-up coil induces voltage in an electronic ignition system. It's a small electric generator that sends low voltage pulses to the ECU (electronic control unit) as the trigger wheel or reluctor teeth pass by. When the trigger wheel tooth approaches the pickup coil, the voltage builds. When the tooth moves away, the voltage decreases. The ECU senses the voltage changes and determines the proper time to switch the primary current to the coil on and off. This allows the coil to build the magnetic field in the primary windings and fire when the ECU cycles the current off
