I just bought a 1989 Nissan 240sx and I'm lovin' it. However it's the oldest model in it's generation and I'm a little concerned about the motor. It has about 180,XXX miles and it runs stong, so I figure it's still has some life. What should I do or give to my car to reassure it's dependency?

Change oil, flush radiator, take it to a mechanic you trust and ask them what it needs. Putting money in to maintenance can save you money down the road ha

Check for oil seal leaks on front/rear of engine and transmission.

For transmission: Flush if AT, change the fluid if MT.

Check under-body for cancer, change timing chain. Find either "240sx Super Hicus" rear-end or Nissan 300zx (z32) rear-end. Prep wallet, have fun!
