Hi just bought my first z trying to bring her back to life

What's first on the plan?

[ShortPaul]

Hi and welcome 😁 

[Khelan]

Welcome aboard, that looks like it's going to be an absolutely gorgeous 350 by the time it's finished.

[Andy_Muxlow]

Hi and welcome along. Nice looking Z you have.

[Engin]

Welcome, any plans or just winging it?

Feels a bit like a Winbeatz Casino https://winbeatz-official.fr/ project already, every little fix is another spin and you never quite know what the next slot is going to throw at you.

 

Nice base for a project, these cars clean up really well when the tired bits start getting sorted.

Hello all, in a similar boat.

 

Got a 350 recently and it goes ok. But what would you do if you had, say, £700-£1,200 tops to spend on it (in terms of preventative maintenance/work to keep it off the hard shoulder?)  52,000 miles on the clock. No service record.  Thanks for any advice.

 

Happy to drive to a good specialist and leave the car for a day or 2, explore local area as I wait (annual leave to use or lose this side of Xmas!)  I am in Derbyshire.

Safety first, so I'd check discs and pads/replace if necessary, and get the fluid flushed. 

New boots if the tyres are illegal.

Followed by oil, filters etc, a full service.

Then have fun with it.... you'll figure out what sort of 350z you want, no need to force it.  

Tarmac Sportz would be your local specialist I imagine.
