I recently just bought a stock NA Z32 and I'm weighing the options on what to do first...

You have to upload pictures to the internet before they'll show up on other people's computers.

@t.mcginley.jr All maintenance was done with proof of receipts

Awesome! First things first. Get rid of those stupid hood spacers. They don't do a thing for cooling and make you look like a drift fanboi.

Awesome that you got all maintenance receipts! That doesn't happen often! What's the mileage on her? Also, wheel police reporting in!

(Your wheels are on backwards. Swap them left to right to correct it.)

Also, I'm gonna move this to General. Seems more of a fitting place for this topic. :dblthumb:

Welcome to the Z32 family. Fantastic car you have there. :dblthumb: As ace said. Id add to that if the maint is done. Work on cleaning her, do some body work, upholstery work and paint. Id start with that. That will keep you busy till you have the money or decide what mods or where you want to take the car to level wise. :yesnod

Awesome. If you have any questions, feel free to search the site. If you can't find a good answer, make a new post. We much prefer a 3 year old thread bump to a new post that's been asked a bunch of times.

Best mods to an N/A by far is suspension.

Welcome to NICO!

+1 on removing the hood spacers... Z's look the best when their body panels line up IMHO.

Suspension work is fun and exciting. Powertrix, SPL are the best on the market for our cars.

That's awesome that you got receipts with it! Mine didn't come with any receipts, just a nice misfire.
