just inherited a 1980 280zx and cant wait to drive it but i need HELP

[steview345]

I have recently inherited this z and since I am moving home for the summer I plan to restore it to its original condition if possible, the car had no engine problems however, it has sat for 4-5 years and only been started a few times since. So if at all possible I would appreciate any advice at all you could give and what maintenance parts I could purchase from whereever in order to at least get it running. Last time I was at home I drained the gas,oil,coolant, but I dont know whats next. If there is a great link or site to go off of for advice and parts that'd be sweet , thanks guys Help please , Stephen

Welcome to Nico! and congrats on the Z!why has it not been started and drive for the the past 4 or 5 years? replacing all the fluids and bleeding the cltch and brake systems are a great place to start, then add poser and turn the key and we can fid and fix any potential problems form there, as for souces, any nissan dealer, and of course the basic corner parts stores, MSA (zcarparts.com) and VB (blackdragon) are a couple of the larger Z specialty suppliers, some specialized parts are best sourced elsewhere, please show us some pic's and keep us posted on the progress
