new z owner

Hi all. I am a new z owner and am new to the forum. I was wondering, what are some things that will require maintaince soon and what sort of things I should think about upgrading or investing in in order to keep my car spotless and running great for years to come. By the way, my car is a 1985 na and it has completely mint interior/exterior. I paid 3700 dollars for the car and it only has 87000 miles. Also, this car is going to be my daily summer driver. Thanks!

hey im new here aswell , but welcome check underneath the rear carpet under the tool kit for rust. The timing belt should be changed every 60,000 miles. Im still learning about these cars the one i got is from california and being ur in wisconsin id have it undercoated. Just do a full tune up i guess if everythings not in working order

thanks illldeca, when i went to look at the car the first time my dad was the first to look under the rug and we found nothing, just wires, paint and the original toolkit. i will be doing work on it this winter and will probably have the timing belt done by a professional since i am more into brakes and that sort of thing. i know i am only 16 and alot of people will say that i shouldnt own a car like this and that i wont respect it and what not, but id like to say that this car is like my baby and i would never do anything to harm it, i treat it like its a collector because it is one.
