Great link Hyjnx.

If you're going full tune-up, chiltons goes over eveything, well, most things.

Spark Plugs - NGK's are arguably the best

Fuel Filter - Upgrading to a 300zx fuel filter is supposed to be better, but either way a new fuel filter will help

seafoam is supposed to help, i've used it and it helped.

Plug Wires - Again NGK makes some good one's, but there are other's out there.

Air Filter

Fuel Injector Cleaner - many people forget this, I do it everytime I change my oil

Drain and refill your coolant from the radiator - helps your car from overheating

Check all your radiator and other hoses for cracks, bloating and leaking

Water pump - when was the last time it was done? Belts as well?( not the timing chain)

Drain and fill your tranny fluid - althogh nissan doesn't specify i'm told, many people do this every 30K.

Chiltons goes over most of those, but the FSM goes over them all

hope that helped.

seafoam doc? is that really seafoam? never herd..

 

Here's a good thread on it, has like 90 some replies so far, all about seafoam. Pull up a coffee and read up.

Seafoam

Helped my car noticeably.

Chiltons? FSM? can you please explain what this is? and where does everyone get their NGK spark plugs and wires from? im going to do a full tune-up and need to gather all the parts.

 

Chiltons is a company that do automotive books to help you out to figure out problems on your car. FSM=Factory service manual If you dont have one, you should get one. They are VERY helpful.

 

i was wondering what the FSM is refered to over here on the nissan side of the world. on the honda side, HELMS manuals contain all the info. so where can i pick up a FSM?

 

They are sometimes on eBay, you can go to your local nissan dealership for one...but pay up the ***.
