picking up a z32

Hi guys' I'm daveo, I have been a life long nissan fan starting with 510's,521 pick up and b13 se-r's and also a b15 boosted spec v

This will be my first z32, it's 2+2

I'm trading my 93 b13 for it. the z has stripped starter bolts and a dead cylinder, any advice on these cars ?

Welcome!

Ready yourself for pain in the *** maintenance! But it's that special kind of pain in the *** that you secretly love and wish you had more of.

Is it auto or manual? You're not supposed to tow automatics on the ground (flatbed or back end on a tow dolly only).
And why would you need to remove the bumper?

It's a manual..

I was asking about the bumper so I know what I'm dealing with.

I don't want to f up the bumper from using a tow strap that will put pressure on the front bumper

Just tow it like you are supposed to, and it will be fine:

The starter bolts were stripped, I got them tapped out and put the starter back on, Then I went to charge the battery and my charger died on me

Ok so the coil by the battery is not firing, I changed the coil connector clips... Is there a wiring diagram for the clips I want to make sure that the wires are in the right order... please help.

Also.. are the coil packs interchangeable ?
