I was at a Nissan dealership and overheard a customer ranting at a service writer about his 83 diesel Maxima which used the same basic block as a 240Z. The car did not have enough compression to start without boosting the battery. Once it got hot it ran and started normally.

The car was 9 years old.

The odometer read 864,000 miles.

The cold compression was less than half the proper amount of close to 400 PSI.
