Read complaints for NISSAN 300ZX (1989)
I am the owner of a 1989 300zx that i purchased used in 2013. The car has approximately 160,000 miles on it. Approximately 6 weeks ago, i noticed a fuel odor and after doing some research determined there was a recall on the vehicle in 1996 for defective fuel injectors. That recall is attached, i also have copies of the tsbs (10 documents total). A few days after noticing the fuel smell (which i could not locate the source) the car suddenly developed a fuel rich condition and the engine began to idle poorly. For background, the car was running fine and after leaving a restaurant, the issue appeared suddenly. I contacted nissan and they tell me they have no record of the recall or any repairs to the vehicle. I took it to my local dealer (dick smith in columbia sc) and they tell me the same. Their diagnosis is that my rack and pinion are leaking. I do not disagree with their diagnosis, but i doubt it is leaking fuel.based on their tsb, it appears that the repair work was never performed on this vehicle and since the recall was issued more than seven years after the build date, that owner and subsequent owners were likely never notified of the issue. I have asked them to perform the recall work per the tsb instructions but so far they have refused.

I experienced a fire caused by the leakage of a fuel injector on the right side of the engine in my car.i have contacted nissan and have received very poor to put it mildly response from them.they have used a clause in the warranty book requiring me to maintain maintenance records for the life of my car.i have no reason to maintain 11 years of records of oil changes, and this fire was not caused by a warranted part but due to a "safety improvement campaign" by nissan.they have advised that unless the car is driveable into their dealership they are not required to replace, repair or correct their faulty parts.i cannot get replacement parts from their distributorships to effect this repair as all of these parts are held by dealerships for this "campaign."i believe it is time for the nhtsa to review this matter.there are documented in your files fires and explosions generated the same as mine.who has to die before you become interested? check your odi numbers 953919,947955, and 908679 for verif.
