What's up everyone! Glad to be back on nico, used to use it for my 240 but now on to bigger and better things like a 300zx TT, NICE! Quick question, what are the most common problems with these rides I need to address first and foremost before upgrading (you know, general maintenence stuff)?

TIMING BELT! if you don't know whne the last timing belt was done plan on doing one, they are due every 60k miles and if it pops you trash the motor, make sure to replace the tensioner, stud and waterpump as well and depending on milage the idlers and studs too! and not a bad idea to address any other belts and hoses while you're in there, aside from that they are pretty dependable and long lasting

Welcome to NICO!

Like evildky said check to see that maintence is up to date. Once its in tip top running shape, start modding and have fun!
