As I talked about earlier, I replaced the catalytic converter. What I had hoped would be an easy install turned out to be a royal pain. I went with a OEM style 300zx catalytic converter which should have been a bolt on job. But since the bolts connecting the cats to the exhaust manifold were so rusty, I ended up having to break the nuts and drill out the manifold. Read more »

I finally got the new catalytic converters into my 300zx the Wasp. Wow.. what a pain. What I thought would likely be an easy install turned into a 3 week process (lots of that time was spent letting Pb Blaster soak in so don’t feel too bad for me. 🙂

So the parts came in. They look pretty good, but the weld where the EGR attaches isn’t very good looking, but they do look like they won’t leak.

My 300zx has had a bad exhaust smell since I bought her. I can’t believe I didn’t notice when I bought her. I have the Z running pretty good (not rich/not lean), and have replaced the O2 sensors. So pretty much the last possibility is that the 23+ year old catalysts have gone bad. Since I bought this car from a younger kid who had put on a cat-back exhaust, I wouldn’t be surprised if the cats haven’t been gutted.

So, I’ve had my Z32 for about 4 months now. She has been a royal PAIN IN THE A$$… but I love her. I think she is “the One!”
When I started this blog, I thought I’d share my experiences, but so far I haven’t gotten the habit of blogging. I will try to do better, but for now here is a quick run down of the fixes I’ve made so far.
