my 87 just had this problem...it was the mass air flow sensor. if its not that try the computer my 86 had the same problem, it was the Mass Air Flow Sensor
They're all the same from 90-96, you're golden
Perhaps starter is getting weak and needs replacing--takes more effort to start hot engine
fit a twin turbo engine
yea but you have to change the mounts and the radiator but why would you do that just turbo it
If a tune up was done recently then the spark plugs and the wires are hooked up wrong. If not then the engine could be out of time, or be extremely low on fluids. Good luck.
What is your definition of "pulling"? What are you trying to describe?
Clean the mass air inflow sensor. You may also have some engine sensors that are borderline working and won't cause a check engine code but are feeding the engine control computer the skewed readings. If you have a check engine light on- go repair that problem. LOL
It would take a long time to explain, so please refer to the 300ZX service manual. It is available for free on the internet, just do a google search for it. I'm not trying to be condescending.
Most likely severe overheating, or no engine oil is left in the oil pan. It could also be that your starter does not work, which is an easy repair.
It was probably not replaced right. Did you test it first? Also check the fuel pump relay.
SR20, VQ35, VG30DETT, KA, RB...I think they've all been done. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ dont forget about the 300ZX with the VG45DE TT from the Infiniti Q45. Personally, i would just stick to the VG30DETT. Its perfect for the car
my 1990 300zx is idling rough what could cause this?
Lining worn to to improper use? Rear engine seal leaking on clutch? Improper adjustment?
Yes the engines are exactly the same if they are of the same year
If an engine has: * compression * fuel * ignition spark delivered in the right quantities and at the right time while the engine is being "cranked" by the starter motor, it will start. Your problem now is to find out which isn't working right. I always suggest starting fluid to help isolate the problem
The year, make, model and engine info would help.

300zx without a doubt. 3000gt are nice but no competition with the z32
That engine needs fuel, compression and spark to start and run. You are missing one of those.
NO it should not start but if does I would call it a miracle.
There are four things needed for an engine to start. Air, compression, good fuel at the right time, and strong spark at the right time. You are missing one or more of those things.
although possible, it is not recommended. The actual cast engine block is the same however, the intake manifold and exhaust manifolds are to wide to fit into the z31 engine bay. So it is possible but would take a good amount of custom fabrication. I'd recommend an sr20 or rb series motor swap. considerably less modification
The Datsun 280z never had a 3200 engine. I don't think Nissan ever has had a 3200 engine. Maybe in one of the newer maxima's or something. The closet thing would be a 3000 engine from a 300zx but it did not come stock that way. Someone would have motor swap it. It came with a 2800 motor
I don't know why you would want to because the vg30dett is a better engine anyways, but no, not without some Major modifications, plus a new transmission, drive shaft and rear differential.
Fuel filter may be clogging up enough to not provide enough gasoline to keep the engine running, but will accumulate enough gasoline in it to re-start the vehicle.
