About 1991 Nissan 300ZX Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Nissan 300ZX tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Nissan 300ZX.

Nissan 300ZX Tire Repair Questions

  • How long do car batteries last?  Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my 300ZX’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around 300ZX car battery terminals is called corrosion.

1991 Nissan 300ZX Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is the oil light on in my Nissan 300ZX?  Your Nissan 300ZX oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change.

  • Can I change my Nissan oil on my own?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Nissan 300ZX spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

1991 Nissan 300ZX Suspension Service & Repair

During the first few years you had your 1991 Nissan 300ZX, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your 300ZX feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump.

We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

1991 Nissan 300ZX Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Nissan 300ZX bounce so much?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your 300ZX to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my 300ZX front end dip forward when I brake?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your 300ZX combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1991 Nissan 300ZX A/C Systems

  • What’s making my 300ZX A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your 300ZX’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why won’t my 300ZX’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your 300ZX’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

1991 Nissan 300ZX Transmission Service

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your 300ZX’s performance. 1991 Nissan 300ZX transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

Questions About 1991 Nissan 300ZX’s Transmission

  • When should I have my 300ZX's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Caring for your Nissan 300ZX’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Nissan, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Nissan 300ZX transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Nissan 300ZX can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your 300ZX ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Is it okay to drive a 300ZX with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your 300ZX to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

1991 Nissan 300ZX Radiator Q&A

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Nissan?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What is causing my 300ZX to overheat?  Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Nissan 300ZX engine to overheat.
  • My 300ZX radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? There could be air pockets in your 300ZX’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
