a friend of mine just bought a 1990 300 zx with a bad engine. i believe it had a 3.0L V6 in it. he is looking for one to replace the bad one. if anyone has a lead on something like this or has some advice for him on this car let me know.

tell him to make me an offer, I am planning on pulling it around January, maybe sooner if he cant wait that long.


**edit, the engine has just been rebuilt around 10K miles ago with all new gaskets, seals, pulleys, timing belt, injectors.

He can buy the tranny with it too if he needs that.

He should check out z31.com and z32.com for parts.

Those Nissan 3.0's are tough to come by, last forever unless the timing belt is not changed on time. I have several of those over the years.. one of them had 287,000 mile son it and it ran strong..

I do know if you have a 1990 you have to have a 90+ engine. The 89 down had different intakes exhaust etc.. and a differnt head design. I beleive that the lower end is the same though.

I have some pictures here somewhere of it. I had to replace the clutch on it , used a cenerforce dual fricton clutch. Other then that it did not use any iol. It was a turbo and run 13,8's down the 1/4 mile with HORRIBLE 60 ft times.. in the 2.2 area....
