'85 Z31 Newbie

Guys, I'm about to take on an '85 300zx with my sons. I've built a couple of Jeeps with my older boys but brand new to Nissan. I've been told that parts are hard to come by, which is making me nervous. We're pretty handy, so if parts are available I think we'll be okay, but if they're not, then I'm going to steer clear. Anyone got any advice or warnings for a newbie??

Welcome! I can recall a time when one absolutely had to join a car club in order to access expertise and, of course, parts. While such groups still exist (thankfully), the online world seems to be taking over, however, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Case in point: the author of this post has done the work for you. You'll find more than two dozen websites (most verified by the poster) that should get you what ever you need. Hope you pull the trigger.
