Wow ... amazing coincidence ... my wife's stepmother has an 88 300zx (but with auto!) that's been in her garage for about that time (she bought it with the insurance money when her first husband died - LOL) -- I know nothing about that car specifically, but I would be wary of the availability of parts - especially those that might not be supplied by the aftermarket - considering it's age and considering that relatively speaking it was a very low volume car.

You might want to give the parts department of your local Nissan dealer a call just to confirm that the parts you might need are easily available.

EDIT: just checked some parts at my online source for Nissan and it appears that there are quite a few brake, clutch, cooling system and other parts still available for that car ... and not terribly expensive either (at least in the US) -- this deal sounds like a steal.
