i got my 240sx a few weeks ago and im wondering what basic maintenance stuff i should do.  I was thinking degunking with ATF, i saw it in another thread  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/satisfied.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':satisfied:'>

Also, spark plugs?  i was thinking maybe iridium?  densos?

what else would you guys recommend, the car is a 1990 with 76k miles.

I don't think Iridium plugs are necessary for a stock car, but maybe someone will have some other info.  If you're just looking to do a minor tune up on your car, Bosch Platinums work perfectly fine.  wow 76k on a 90, sounds nice. What color is it?

black!

the interior is a bit run down...after a basic tune up ill be working on that...

damn... thats sweet... my cars a 97 and i have 76k on it... how much did you pay for it?

if you're changing your plugs i suggest you change the distributor cap and rotor.

I suggest NGK spark plugs

You can also change your fuel filter and use a Z32 fuel filter. Its bigger but it will fit with a little bracket stretching.

plugs, distributor cap, oil change (and that degunk thing) rotor...

anytthing else?

Transmission and rear differential fluid change would be a good idea as well.
