I understand what it takes to get a motorcycle that has been sitting for years running but cars are something I have little experience with.

Im looking at buying a automatic 1990 300zx twin turbo with 90,000mi. It has been sitting for the past few years and runs poorly.

What should I do to get this thing back up to proper working order?

-Replace all fluids
-Check/replace spark plugs
-Fresh fuel
-Clean out throttle bodies?
-Put a can or two of sea foam through the intake?

Help???? I posted a vid so you can see what the current state is in.

I posted this up in a actual nissan forum but had no response, you honda people are much more helpful.

 

Plugs for sure maybe wires?

 

Ill check that out too. Thanks

 

Do an oil change. Replace the air filter. Put some fresh gas in it. Add a can of seafoam to the gas to clean out the injectors.
Good luck.

 

V6, twin turbo, there is just so many things that could be going wrong there. I shall alert my brother to the presence of this thread and see if he has any good ideas. I'm assuming it's a bit cheap?

 

Thanks, yeah about 2500 bucks for it. Pretty good considering I really cant even find the non turbos for about that price with this low of miles.

 

all i can you man, is a injector job on a z is about 18 hours of digging, so make sure your willing to devote the time if you buy the car lol

 

Pretty sure I remember that those Turbo's had a limited shelf life if memory serves.

Friend of mine had a TT ZX years ago.

 

careful with seafoam in the motor with something that has been sitting that long.
