So I just bought a 1990 300zx 5 spd that was sitting out for over 3 years. I changed sparks, transmission diff and motor oil. It has has some vacuum leaks because when I first start car it won't idle it will just turn off but after a second try it stays on but idles at 1100 rpm which seems high. The second problem that I have is that it's lowered and would like to get it back to stock.
So I plan on dailying after I'm finished with all the issues that it has. I live in Southern California. I was wondering what would be the best replacement parts for : tires, shocks, coil spring, vaccum lines, coolant lines, brakes and rotors.

CONGRATS!! I just bought my first Z too. I'm in So Cal. I bought it $700 because the transmission doesn't go in reverse.

Just bought a 1992 N/A 5-speed slicktop with 32,000 miles. Totally unmolested. Gorgeous Cherry Red Pearl. :)

The PO never changed the timing belt. :nono: I drove it straight to the shop and had that done. All fluids as well.

Fortunately the motor is solid but could likely use a tune-up.
