on. Some things are easy to do if you have basic mechanic skills like: changing engine oil, rear end gear oil, transmission gear oil, fuses, windshield wipers. This car has difficult things to do like: has the timing belt been serviced (at 90,000 miles), replacing injectors (when they fail and they will if old style- your 93 may have new style depending on production date). To get started look into the tech pages on the menu above. get familiar with the online shop manual and ask questions. First I would change all fluids: engine oil, rear end, tranny, flush brake system, partial change in power steering. You need to use the correct fluids. Lots of opinions on engine oil, gear oil, etc so research. I use Mobil super 10W 30 high mileage synthetic blend engine oil, Royal purple 75w 90 gear oil in the tranny and Mobil 1 full synthetic 75w 90 gear oil in the rear end, power steering check owners manual or shop manual.. For connectors: engine temp sensor located just rear of the fan shroud on the alum coolant manifold. It is the one on the left of the 2 together, the battery terminals, the injector connectors (not easy to clip open and with age they can break). Get electric cleaner spray and dielectric grease and apply to connector and clip closed. If greed corrosion present clean with fine sandpaper then electric cleaner spray and the grease. To many places to clean but mark each after you do it. As far as going to a mechanic if he is not familiar with the Z32 save your $$$ and learn. All he will do is do a basic look over but nothing serious. Find a mechanic who knows the Z32 for the hard things. Learn to be better than a novice mechanic or else save $$$ cause you will need them. Here is the shop manual [ http://300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi ] There is a section on maintenance look to it.
