This is it guys! The video before we get the car 1992 300zx driving. In this video we will go over on how to relocate the PTU, set the throttle bodies, TPS, Ignition Timing, and Base Idle on a Z32. Hope you guys enjoy it since Covid-19 is coming to and end soon hopefully!

Thanks guys, great vid. Better late than never but I'll check my timing tomorrow, been starting a bit slow in the mornings.

@bignycatx 2 жыл бұрын

Not sure if it's my age or what but I never noticed how high my idle is on my Z. I got my TPS to .44vdc but the idle is around 2000 rpm which means I'll have to get it down before checking the timing right? I've got it warmed up but I think I'll drive it around for a few miles and check again.

@bignycatx 2 жыл бұрын

Update: So I decided to re-seat the TSP gray connector (since that's the last thing I "adjusted") and the idle RPM dropped to just over 1000 (I knew it wasn't my age...lol). Checked the timing with Nissan DataScan app display screen and it showed 30 degrees. My Harbor Freight Cen-Tech timing light (with the dial setting on 15) shows it at 15 degrees and 30 degrees when the dial is set to zero. Which one is correct? Got the idle down around 750 RPMs but timing still has me a bit confused. He's running great, engine is smooth and not shaking or sound like it's struggling. Haven't done too much with Datascan app,,,just mainly use it to test injectors and view temp and battery readings. Any ideas what I'm missing? Thx.

@bignycatx 2 жыл бұрын

Figured it out, the DataScan display preference was set to add 15 degrees to the timing and that's why it showed 30 degrees. I found what my next project will be, saw a bit of oil around my #1 spark plug while setting up to check the timing. That'll be for another day after I watch your video on replacing the gaskets. Thanks again Bruhz

Hey Im a Z owner too. I have a 92 300zx Twin Turbo. Theres a guy out here and he makes z32 parts from scratch and puts together his kits. His company name is Polar Engineering. He makes the PTU delte with GTR35 coil pack and its a simple plug and play. Im gonna order mine in some upcoming weeks. You should look into it. Its better for Idle and you can put bigger spark plugs in there. Look into man! Hope you Read This! yeeeeeeeeeeee!

@robertmaillet9882 4 жыл бұрын

outstanding vid. I just finished pulling my TT engine and starting the rebuild. Qu: did i moss a video where you summarized how deep you went into the rebuild? Pop the heads or do a compression check before the pull? Saw the video on the lifters, just wondering if you changed the knock sensor and just how deep did you go? My drivers side turbo seized, so planning a full rebuild maybe down the main main bearings. Ideas?

@ZBruhzchannel 4 жыл бұрын

We did check the compression, but did not pull the heads. We also looked at the knock sensor and it looked in really good shape besides the debris from over the years lol. Compression checks are very simple to do, in one of our drifting videos we do a compression check on my drift car. Thank you for the support!

Help! I'm new to the timing procedure on a 300zx.I get it that timing is adjusted with a timing light,but what are you adjusting on the right side of the motor to move the timing mark.I see a place on the right side and I loosened the 3 screws and tried to rotate it but I can't budget it. Thanks.

@ZBruhzchannel 2 жыл бұрын

That is you cas sensor. This either advances or decreases your timing. Alot of people have issues with moving these due to corrosion. Best bet I have learned is use a tiny amount of wd-40 around the crevice where the two pieces meet. Do not use too much just some drops around the entire piece. Let it sit for 5 mins then grab a rubber mallet and carefully tap around the edges. You may need to use some force but once it's free you will be able to adjust.

@Zackary Rients thank you for the kind words! As for the CAS there are 2 types phase 1 and phase 2. If the motor is out of a 89-92 it will be a phase one CAS. The phase one engine harness will only work with a phase one CAS unless you swap the connector on the harness.. you can get a different connector on Z1 motorsports if needed.

Hey y'all. How many hours of Labor do y'all think, ball parked to replace the motor and swap some parts like the exhaust manifolds, new water pump, egr valve, motor mounts and motor brackets etc. Fill the radiator up and bleed, new oil filter plugs etc? All data says 19.6hrs. I call bullshit. 1991 300ZX N/A Z32. Couple other things, the dipstick is on the opposite side, heater hoses are different, few vacuum lines are different. The motor must be a different year or something! The dip stick in the replacement engine W/ 50k on the motor. Supposedly. Well said dip stick... Not the tube, is 100% caught up in something? Guess I'll have to pull the pan as well. F& CK!..
