Choosing 1993 Nissan 300ZX Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Nissan 300ZX tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Nissan 300ZX tires online.

1993 Nissan 300ZX Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my 300ZX turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your 300ZX firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are Nissan 300ZX engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Nissan 300ZX. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Nissan engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine.

  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Nissan's tires? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Nissan 300ZX to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long.

  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my 300ZX’s battery post?  If you notice white, crusty stuff around the battery terminals of your 300ZX, it's likely corrosion.

1993 Nissan 300ZX Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is the oil light on in my Nissan 300ZX?  Your Nissan 300ZX oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

1993 Nissan 300ZX Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Nissan 300ZX spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Nissan’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Nissan 300ZX mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Nissan 300ZX. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often should I clean my Nissan 300ZX fuel injectors? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule.

1993 300ZX Nissan Steering & Suspension Services

During the first few years you had your 1993 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, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1993 Nissan 300ZX, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

1993 300ZX Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why is my Nissan 300ZX bouncing so much?  Excessive bouncing in your Nissan 300ZX might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my 300ZX to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Nissan's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1993 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 can cause an A/C system leak?  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 does my 300ZX’s A/C only work when the car is moving? There could be issues with one or more components in the air conditioning or electrical system. Your 300ZX may have a faulty cooling fan or low refrigerant.

1993 Nissan 300ZX Transmission Service & Repairs

  • Does my 300ZX's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  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 transmission fluid leak from my Nissan 300ZX? 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.
  • Can I still drive my Nissan 300ZX if it has a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your 300ZX if it’s leaking transmission fluid.
