I've only put 150 miles on my z since i did my turbo swap and the car never ran all that well.Over the weekend i adjusted the timing and the car ran fine .Then i went to drive it,and it seems to lack power.

I can here the turbo spooling up,but there is hesitation when i put it to the petal.To make a long story short.The gas in the tank is over 2 years old and i talked to a nissan mechanic,and he said the car should run fine after i use up all of the old gas and refill with fresh gas.

I do have a new dizzy cap,spark plugs,wires as well as new turbo injectors.I did set the timing correct after searching of course,So i know this isn't the issue.I tested the coil,transistor,afm per fsm instructions and everything tested just fine.Any advice on what the prboblem maybe?

Yeah... drain the old gas... fill up w/ 91 & add some GOOD fuel treatment.

might wanna even have the system cleaned at a shop. They usually run a can or two of somthing like seafoam through the vaccuumm to clean the injectors and stuff. I had some year old gas in my tank when I bought the car. After a good cleaning The cars performance went from driving like a corolla back to a Z.

Thanks.....Not to sound like a dumb azz,but what isthe best wayto drain the old gas?

NismoPick

Syphon out the old gas... or drop the tank. How much is in there?

mikesz

Theres a little less then half a tank.I was thinking about installing one of those fram g3 filters,that installs at the back of the tank.
