My uncles Z31 isn't working and hopefully when i get a job, i can work on it and get that beast going again .

Are there any common problems? or are there any FSM out there? Mabie i should get a hanes manual. But, i would really like to build that motor *drool*

they have a few common issues, stupid people like to add power steering fluid to the power steering resivoir (it takes ATF...yeah seems kinda wierd but a lot of cars do) and this makes small leaks into big leaks

the rear crossmember bushings rot out where they attach to the body

T-top leaks, digital dash, heater controls, when cars get that old things wearout or dry rot, nothing terrible sserious, just keep the timing belt changed and they run forever
