Welcome to ZDriver! Yank the turbocharger, take it to a local turbo shop, and have them upgrade it to a T3/T4 Hybrid. Should cost about $400 with a nice warranty. Feel free to use the SEARCH about this topic, as it has been asked before.


BTW... if the car is all stock, it doesn't have a blow off valve, just a pop off valve.

yeah... and time to learn EVERYTHING about the turbo and the supporting system. otherwise when you go to mod your gonna dick yourself around alot and blow lots o money. also. learn ubber amounts of info on your car while your at it.

I suggest buying a Haynes Manual for the car. It will tell you most everything basic that you need to know about the 1st gen 300zx. They run about $14 at your local parts store. Also check out AZ-Zbum's website: http://www.az-zbum.com/ That is a site dedicated to the Z31... trouble shooting, problems, basic repairs.
