jackbyo Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yo new to the car scene. My brothers moved over seas and has offered me his '81 zx for free. it needs work though. Interior, body (rust) and engine too. My dad says it just needs a new battery to be going again, but I'd really like to make this car my own and to do that I want to take apart the engine and get it all running nice. So I tracked down the FSM as a .pdf, gonna print it at work when no ones around. Is it worth getting How to rebuild your datsun OHC engine and How to restore your datsun Z car I'm guessing with those 2, the FSM and this forum for a few questions here and there, i've got all I need info wise right? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stationwagonguy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I never get a car without getting repair manuals of some sort for it too. Looks like a good set of books to peruse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
