Bought my very first Z yesterday and pick it up next Saturday :dance:

It's a 'J' '92 2+2 manual TT Fairlady import :bow:

The guy I bought if off didn't really know much about it, he got it from his Mrs brother who recently died :cry: He didn't know when the cambelt was last changed, so that would be the first thing that needs doing. I will also change the oil. Is there anything else I should be looking at.

Advice please.

a full 60k service is really in order

 

courtesy nissan in the states do a cam belt kit, including water pump seals etc etc. worth getting & doing it all if your replacing the cam belt IMO.

 

dont forget PCV valves & hoses.

 

oh yeah - get those T tops of & have some fun :D

Hi Paul

What, where and what do PCV valves do ?

Do I need to replace/clean them ?

sorry, don't really know much about the Z myself yet

Bugger...you could've had mine....its up for sale. Cam belt's been changed and everything :tongue:

PCV valves are Positive Crankcase Ventilation valves, they are part of the breather system. as they get old they can cause oil to burn & smoke from the exhaust.

 

they are quite cheap so just replace them with the hoses.

 

they are located either side of the plenum :)
