looking good!
looks like you could use some air in the tires though. lol

you are also missing the little plastic things that go on each side of the front bumper.
i have a pair for 10 bucks if you want them.

anyways, nice looking Z!

I changed plugs, wires, a fuel pump relay, and lots of bulbs. Now it runs really really good. Approx 250k miles and runs better than any car I've ever had!

One of my friends said he took apart a Z engine to re-build it at 160k miles and it still had the original cylinder honing marks!

These cars are the best!

i have heard some of them still have the honing marks after 200,000 miles.
there's probably some even more than that.

That is nice for the price all day long. So you know, if you ever lossed the hatch marks the engine will not live to long. Those are there to hold the oil onto the cylinder wall, there is even a R value on how deep and hi the peaks are, under a microscope of course. It's not just for breaking in the rings. When they do smooth out, that's the end of the engine. Not common on a Nissan, got a love it. Enjoy that ride.
