Car: 90' z32 N/A t-top

Post

Hey whats up, guys? Just recently bought a 90' z32 n/a and it's my first import/z car. Got it for $2500 and with a swapped engine(less than 80K), body with 189K on it, in overall good shape...I figured it was a good buy. I think the transmission has been replaced or rebuilt at some point in time, the guy said it had just been re-synced. It's 5 speed and shifts very well, transmission seems to pull really well. Interior is ok but really just needs to be overhauled. T-tops are in good shape and dont leak. The exterior has minor hail damage and the pearl white paint job is peeling a little. Also it has a greddy front bumper and side skirts, but needs to be painted to match. Anyways what im looking for in this car is getting back to stock condition. I just want a good cruisin car for now. Dont really care about drag racing, drifting, or any of that stuff at the moment. Ill eventually go all out with it i/e throw some nice wheels on it and a TT swap. Like I said im new to all this so im just wondering which way to go with this as far as making this car look good, ride good, and pull a little bit more power out of it. Will post pics soon. Any tips, advice, or feedback is appreciated.

Thanks! :biggrin:

Just realized that the rear wheels are pigeontoed(positive camber), and i think maybe the sway bar is shot because when I roll over a bump it feels like im gonna bounce off the road. Any idea on whats causing this?

No problem.

The bouncing is most likely due to bad shocks. If they're original, and you have over 75k miles, I'd say they're shot.
