Replace: timing belt, coolant, belts, water hoses, air filter(behind front nose pannel), AIV injection filters(located in front fender wells behind plastic pannels), also replace all spark plugs and coils and boots and updating the ptu if not done already, flush engine best as possible (diesel engine oil is best because of the extra cleaning additives and higher zzpt content also is much cheeper), transmission oil, differencial oil(must be viscous lsd compatable), i also recommend updating/replacing all off the injectors and pigtails, also all of the vaccum hoses and throughly clean the idle air control valve, and replace the pcv valves and vac hoses, make sure the pcv tubes are clean aswell. This is a pretty expensive feat. Buuut the car will love you because of it

Just wondering if this is the max you should do or is there more I can do to completely refresh the car?
If there is more please list it as this really helps get a estimate for upcoming 300ZX owner's who want to make sure the car is happy.
I ask because I am looking for a 300ZX myself but the one I'm looking at also has a lot of miles on it.

I mean there will always be more bud. Its an old 20+ year old car. If you want a full and expensive and intensive refresh. Add in new brake booster, brake and clutch master cylinder, braided stainless steel brake and fuel lines(upgrades), new brakes (upgrade here), whole new suspension (definte upgrades here to fully adjustable/lowering if wanted). Updating these cars and certain parts of these sorts can go a long way, and bring these cars to back to life
