Hey Scotty! I am a huge fan. I'm working on my 97' Mitsubishi Eclipse with a non turbo 2. 0 engine and 5 speed manual transmission, car has 256K miles. The issue I'm having is the engine bogging in idle and sometimes feels like it has no power if I try to accelerate too much on any gear but will take off once I let off the accelerator a bit. (While accelerating. This happens from time to time and sometimes shutting off completely while driving. The bogging gets worse when the AC is on while idling, as well as when I turn on my headlights while idling. It will also bog so much and shutoff in these two scenarios. But most the time drives fine once I'm up to speed. Not sure if this is relevant but the car has no radio or rear speakers in it. Any suggestions? Please and thank you for your help!

I loved my 1986 300ZX. With the talkin lady computer. It was about mechanically remanufactured for scca road racing. But I had to retire it for a 1990 eagle talon TSI turbo all-wheel-drive. I could launch that baby at 4000 RPMs. It would eat up them older mustang GT. Camaro super sports, and even the older Corvettes, and get 30 miles to the gallon when I was babying it a bit. ! I still race it from time to time but damn she sure is a money pit. ! But she's the early first gen that's was, illegal in the United States. Rare than hen's teeth, GSX.

I had a '91 300ZX Twin Turbo, 5 speed transmission during my college days. The engine itself actually started production from 1989 and Scotty forgot to mention the twin turbo models have 4 wheel steering aka Super HICAS. It was an awesome sports car but 2 things I didn't like was it was a timing belt driven interference engine and to change all the vacuum and heater hoses next to the firewall was a pain in the a

300Z Twin Turbo, RX7 Twin Turbo, Mitsubishi 3000Gt (Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo, =all came out at the same time all around 300hp. NSX came out a bit later (missed the party)
RX7 Twin Turbo is the lightest and fastest, but people that abuse them tended to blow the engines. Also rarest of the 3.
Freakiest is the 3000GT/Stealth Twin Turbo AWD/AWS (all wheel steering.

The variant shown here is the Z32. This model has the Twin Turbos which produced 300 HP 6, 400 rpm and 283 lb-ft of torque 3, 600 rpm. Performance varied with 0-60mph times between 5-6 seconds and had a governed top speed of 155 mph. These were great sports cars that Nissan made, and compared to the junk they make now, these things were virtually indestructible.

I own a infiniti qx56 2013 and i maintain it myself no dealer and i bought it new and everyone told me it a mistake all youll have is problems and i just pass 100k with no problems and the engine runs like new and no leaks and everything clean! So i think it just matters how you takecare of ur car!

Nothing to do with this video, but my old car used to go through oil really fast when I put cheep conventional oil in it with a cheep oil filter. I then switched to a more expensive conventional oil and a mobile 1 filter. The oil lasted longer, and wasn't nearly as dark when I changed it. Is this result do to the oil, or the oil filter, or both?

Reliable? I've seen them catch fire in traffic. Worth the heartache? YES. I bought an Na z and tt swapped it myself. My recommendation if you plan to buy one of these cars, prepare to spend some money or learn to work on it. I have way more into my car than I will ever get back, but this is also my dream car.

The Z1 on the back is likely from Z1 Motorsports in Georgia, not the original badging (nor is the Fairlady Z- that s the JDM badging. I have a Z32 convertible (1993, so non turbo- took a little work to make it reliable, but it is now a good daily driver (only 20 miles round trip though)
