A few updates that have been done to the car:

Oil change: just to hold it over winter.



Magnetic drain plug:




After investigating my car's hard-starting issue. I may have found the problem, there's rust/old fuel jamming up the fuel lines so I'm going to do a full system flush. I also replaced some essential parts of the fuel system, such as the filter, fuel dampner and fuel regulator:







Replaced passanger side O2 sensor (was giving a CEL)




Replaced a front nose panel, the original (top) had a huge dent in it and the left side tab was broken off, got a replacement one, it'll still need to be repainted to be perfect but a few paint chips are better than a huge dent.

Yesterday was an epic detailing day for my 300zx, thanks to my buddy Jeffblue, who let me borrow his Porter Cable, I was able to give a car a much needed hand wash, followed by being clayed and then a full polish using some Ultimate Compound, finished by some wax to keep it protected over winter. Here are the pictures:
















the hood, damn mosquito ruined the shot:
