Hello everyone,
I am new to the forums but not new to the Z. Not sure how active this forum is but I will be spending a lot of time on here, there is a lot of informative threads.

I got a 1990 300zx N/A has 160,xxx miles didn't go for TT because I don't need the power I just like to kinda cruise around and enjoy the Z, nothing better than being in a Z :)

Bought it from a 65 year old man, he bought it brand new and was the only owner he had a very thick folder with all the maintenance ever done on the car from day one and I couldn't pass it up!
Car drives very smooth, transmission shifts very smooth with no problem what so ever :)

Previous owner told me there was a slight oil leak but still have not been able to check it out its maybe 2-3 drops in the morning, looks like it's right under the oil pan. Don't know anything yet until I can jack it up this weekend and try to find where it is coming from exactly.

Looking forward to meeting some of you folks :wavey: Image

I really like the Azure Blue as well, and the blue interior if leather is even rarer- post up pics of the interior!

Not leather :( its the blue cloth seats but in great condition. I am trying to find a reputable place to order the blue leather seat skins and redo them. Any suggestions?

I will post pics tomorrow! Previous owner took her to a shop that doesn't know crap about Zs and they did a horrible timing belt job. They also charged him for the gaskets and didn't replace them :tisk: I have the receipt.. Poor man paid for nothing!! No worries though, I have a friend who owns a z shop here and he fixed her up :biggrin:

Get ready for lots of pics tomorrow :dblthumb:

Nice. I believe you must be from Florida? I saw that car in Daytona at the Spring Fling. Needed a rear main and a few other gaskets for oil leaks, but other than that was pretty cherry!

Thanks man!

Looking into wheels. I am thinking 18x10.5 +27 rear and 18x8.5 +15 front I think it should be good with a fender roll and a little stretch on the tires, what do you guys think??

That back will be close. Play around with this: wheel-fitment-and-tire-size-guide-t512311.html and use this: http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp

Yeah, you're right about it being close! I might just do 9.5 all around from 20-25 offset. Or would a staggered 9.5/8.5 setup be better?
