Message Ie a TON of parts worn and needing replacement. At this point a Z thats spent 25 years in a dark temperature controlled garage is still going to need a lot of old rubber replaced.

If i just wanted to drive it, and not dive into a major project with it, id pick one that someone has already gotten well on the way to restored with. for a 25 year old car, "stock" is more likely to mean "old" rather then "no problems"

injectors, wiring harness, lots of engine bay hoses, and bushings are all likely shot on a perfect garage find. If it's spent some time in the sun it will be much worse.

How to have a good time with your 300zx:
Don't buy from AMS because it's shoddily "designed", cheaply made
knockoff garbage.
Ash makes good stuff, but don't buy from straight from ASH if you
can't deal with him going MIA. Buy his stuff from SpecialtyZ.
Don't put injectors in that aren't 95+ style Nismo or Injector dynamics
Do your timing belt when you are supposed to with oem stuff.
If a wheel doesn't proudly declare where it's made, you shouldn't be
putting it on a 300zx, and if ebay is the best place to get it, that's
concerning. Yes, I am talking
about those XXR's.
Don't put on a FMIC that isn't Tom's. That ebay "apollo style" one
causes a ton of lag and lost horsepower.

Check my classifieds. My Z is for sale.
