Stock or not?

[Earl Hammer]

I recently found and bought a 92 300zx NA from one owner. They had every service report from the time they bought the car in 9/93, and the car is stock. They gave me the original window stickers. They even gave me the stock Bose Stereo. It's at 118,000 miles so even though they put 3 timing belts in, I did another. So, I'm good for 60k miles. My question is this, I have a little cash to burn and I'm wondering if I should keep it stock or put some mods on it?
What do you guys think? Any comments would help, thanks.

Wheels, tires, exhaust being Na there are not many options for a big HP increase. I have a 92 2+2 which is 99% stock.

Is it automatic or manual? Get a 99 JDM spec front bumper and tail lights, intake system, xpipes, high flow cats, free flow exhaust... Suspension mods, height, brakes etc... A few Custom bits but nothing garish and enjoy it!!!!

I have a 2+2 as well...

Here's my car with mods

Agreed!

Agree with above, keep it classy like it already is but with some upgrade touches. Brakes and tires/wheels and intake upgrades are best first moves, as well as deeper maintenance such as hoses and connectors.
Congrats!

Great question, I just picked up a 1990 300ZX na with 36,000 miles. I also have all the maintenance records and window sticker. The gal I bought it from (god bless her) changed out everything, timing belt/water pump, injectors, clutch and master cylinder. She also had the mufflers replaced. The car just needed to be driven. Garage kept, an amazing find, she got a very fair price. All the mods you can do on this car is mind boggling. With that said, I've decided because of the low miles only to upgrade the brakes, hoses connections and add a short throw shifter, since the bushing needs to be replaced anyway. Maybe also a Z1 intake. I also have the original bose system and as much I would like to keep that stock, the speakers/amps are shot. The cost to fix this seems just to much to fix, so I'll be changing that out and of course keeping all original parts. What a great car and an absolute blast to drive. I love the cars that you guys have upgraded on this page! They look awesome!
