After 2 days of research I finally found a shop in Japan that specializes in the Fairlady Z. Now the service that they offer includes:
Timing belt · Timing cover bolt · Water pump · Water bypass hose & Water pipe · thermostat · tensioner · idler pulley · air conditioner idler pulley · crank pulley · inlet water pipe · outlet water pipe · water temperature sensor · water temperature sensor · fan / air conditioner / power steering belt · camshaft oil seal · camshaft front cover bolt · Spring tensioner · O ring · Front crankshaft oil seal · crankshaft sprocket · crankshaft sprocket plate · key · radiator (Twin turbo is recommended 2 copper layers)
· Radiator upper & lower mount · radiator cap · radiator upper hose · radiator lower hose · radiator reservoir tank · AT car is oil cooler hose · alternator (rebuilt)
· LLC exchange + treatment
What would be a reasonable price including parts? Because it costs almost as much as I paid for the car. But those guys work exclusively on 300zx so I know I'm in the right hands.

Now the other option is to get the 120k kit and do it myself. I have basic mechanical knowledge but never did a job like this. I will be leaving Japan this year and moving to Italy so I might never get a chance to take the car to the specialized shop again. Any recommendations? :ohno:

if you can afford it pay them to do it. if you cant then do it yourself. not sure if it was particularly hard for me (engine was on a stand,and i have yet to actually start the car.i wont lie im worried about if i did it right or not. i screwed up timing in the past on a non-interference engine,) there is plenty of reference and how to on the web. i would imagine the cost to be around $1200 U.S dollars maybe more i dont know i never looked into having a specialty shop do it. regardless when you move you will have to do it yourself eventually unless you find another specialist
