Welcome to the site, and congrats on the Z. I suggest the first thing you get is a Haynes manual, available at most parts stores. It will be the best money you will ever spend on the car.

Also, please be sure to use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Misspelled run-on sentences are difficult to read.

Well thanks for all the feedback, i appreciate it. I guess i have a little bit of work to do than. Fun fun.

What really surprised me is the fact that all the electronics in the car still work fine, the power seats, windows, headlights, and even the digital gauges work. As i said i've never owned a 300ZX so all the features are just so awesome.
