Howzit fellow Z members, I'm a new Z owner and member to this forum. I just picked up a 89 300zx turbo manual w/ t top. One of the problems the original owner told me needed to be taken care of was the vacuum leaks. There are 100's of tubing that are all over the engine, I just don't know where to begin other than replacing all tubing that I can get to. I might just take it in for service, but I don't want to take it to the dealer, I don't care for dealer service techs, I'd much rather prefer a local contact for servicing and or helping me work on Z. The original owner also said the A/C is sometimes warm because of the vacuum leaks. I'd appreciate any advice or help out there. Mahalo, and keep on ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZing!!!!!!!

Ke aloha nô me ka mahalo kâua! An 89 turbo? I think that's the rarest of the z31's. Maybe this will help.

 

ZenArcher,
Mahalo nui loa for the info, I really like the way the tubing is highlighted for easy reference. The Z is original Black paint with Black Z rims, it has Grey leather Recaro seats and a fully digital dash. The previous owner said it was top of the line for the year. I'll attache some pictures as soon as I'm able to take some.

Haole Makahiki Ho!
