My First Z Car

Hello every one I just traded off my 89 Ford Probe GT Turbo for an 88 Nissan 300ZX with a 84 50th ann. nose basicly I got the car to learn to drift and lets face facts thares nothing cooler than a black sports/muscle car with t-tops the car is DIRTY and missing some parts here and thare but otherwise seems to be pretty strate exsept. it was punched in the nose at some point so the hood and fenders dont quite line up

Iv been working on her for a few days now iv got the motor running pretty good but has a slite miss and the water pump howls but the car was sitting outside with no hood

Any info on the car and what else to look at would be helpful

So far iv pulled the nose off took the 50th ann. badges off and painted it
Replaced the pass. side tie rod end
Changed oil-oil filter-spark plugs-spark plug wires-cone filter
Changed all the vacuum lines
Put motor back in time
Made an exhaust from old Honda down pipes what was left of the stock exhaust and a DC muffler
Pulled rear interior panels out (missing clips)

Sounds like it might be the timing belt being to tight.
