The New Guy: hey. im new here, and (sadly enough) im also new to tuning, and cars in general. anyways,
The Car: i just bought a 1993 300zx n/a. (paid $2200 for it, and now im figuring out why) i've been a fan of these beauties for quite a while, and now that i have one, i want to start getting it back in shape. it has 160,000 on it, and the only mods (on it when i bought it) are cold-air, and a short throw shifter.
The Problem: i just bought her, as i said, and i knew the stock wiring harness was toast, so i bought a new one. i had the exhaust re-welded (pinholes everywhere), and the other day the ECU when out, so im working on getting that changed out. so far, i know that i need new seals on just about everything, new bushings, and something (dont know what yet) is knocking (hope its not a piston)
i saw this forum, and signed up immidiatly after reading a few articles.
any help/advice/tips/stories/anything else is very welcome!
thanks.
