Getting my car ready for a 2200 mile roadtrip - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm hoping to do 2200 miles in 2 or 3 days in my 1991 hatchback. It's been fine for 500 mile stretches, but I've never tried more. It has 189,000 miles on it now and I'll be making the trip late May (hot!).
Besides the issues of the seats killing me, does this sound possible?

I'm a strong driver and I believe I can cruise at 80mph, which probably means 70 miles for every hour of driving.

What maintenance should I do? It is in good condition, but some simple stuff (belts, etc) is probably ready to be changed.
