Too much to read.  But as a 300ZX owner there not that expensive and the engine is easy to work on, provided you know what your doing.  And new turbo(s) aren't that hard to get a hold of just finding someone to put them in and always get bigger ones.  wink.gif
THEY CAN BE EXPENSIVE but so can all cars.  frown.gif

Also with an import expect cops to target you. mad.gif


Why the 300ZX is so natourious for average machanics.  The engine was built and a body around it, not the body then the engine.  Its very compact and small for it's size/capacity of power. smile.gif

Have you replaced your turbos yet?


The Original Engine blew up when the previous owner hit a rock and punched an important hose. So the 1990 (112,000km) Chassis has a 1996 motor it with 58,000km on it, still got plently in it. The motor sport fellow who I bought it off has been doing Turbo(s) for the last 15 yrs so when the new motor arrived he bored the turbos out a little so they can run it on higher psi safely. I shall also be replacing that hose with stainless steel. smile.gif

And to directly answer that question. Not likely I'm a computer geek, I hire the same guy as above to do my mods. Quality cames with a price and it's my range. tongue.gif

But the best two ways and only two ways to change the turbo is lift one side with a jack then the other or just pull the whole engine out. frown.gif
