Replying to: willynale16 (Sep 14, 2009 7:27 pm) Anyway, congratulations on your purchase. I've owned a '88 300 ZX for a number of years. From my experience, and mine has 183,000 miles on it, these are very well made, quite low maintenance cars. Good luck with yours. |

Again, if you see funky brake fluid in there, flush it out and bleed the system. Check the condition of the brake hoses at the calipers. Soft hoses will bulge when braking, causing a loss of brake pressure. Also look for cracks in the hoses---that's dangerous. So keep the "pre-emptive" to the simple but important parts of the car---the hoses, belts, brake pads---and a general tightening up. You can also check the water pump for looseness and leaks, and give the battery a good look, for corroded cables or low electrolyte levels.

As for the rotors, they should be smooth as glass (don't touch them while they are hot!!!). If you see ridges, like corduroy pants, they're toast and need to be either turned by machine or replaced.
