149.180300ZX recall - engine fireHOTLNE::CORMIERMon Mar 17 1997 16:248
    I just got a recall notice on my 1988 300ZX for injector leak = engine
    fire.  I know for a fact that the injectors are leaking. I was having
    trouble starting it; seems they lose prime if it sits for a while. I
    was quoted an exhorbitant amount of money to replace the injectors back
    then. Now it gets done for free!  I'm not sure how much of a danger the
    engine fire is.  Do I take the chance and drive it to the dealer (4
    miles) or have it towed?
    Sarah
149.181Hopefully I answered this to your liking, Mr. skinnerjBUSY::SLABAfterbirth of a NationMon Mar 17 1997 16:526
    
    	Sarah, how long have you been driving it, knowing that the inject-
    	ors were leaking?
    
    	And how does a measly 4 miles compare to that number?  8^)
149.182ZEKE::BURTONJim Burton, DTN 381-6470Tue Mar 18 1997 06:513
Drive it to the dealer.  The engine will not even heat up in four miles. 

Jim

    Shawn,
    I haven't been driving it at all. It's in the garage for the winter. I
    noticed a problem because I routinely start it up and it was not
    starting on a random basis.  It actuallyhad to be towed to the repair
    shop when I got the diagnosis that it was the injectors. 
    Jim,
    Thanks.  I wasn't sure if 4 miles was enough to really heat it up. All
    I need is for it to catch on fire on the way...

Hi,
A friend of my son owns a 92 300ZX and wants to make it go faster. I just read
through this note string and a couple of aftermarket suppliers are mentioned.
HKS for one. Do these people still exist and does anyone have an address or
phone number. Any other recomendations for go fast parts ?


			Thanks,,,
