New to working on cars in general. Help., Serious. Options

[Tedskiii]

Well as from my previous thread, I've purchased a 240. And it's my second car. I'm really into them, but I have this fear of working on it ! I don't know why. I guess because I'm new to it, and I don't know where to start !

I'm just scared to mess up because of stupidity. Right now the car is all stock other than coilovers which aren't set low, and an exhaust. The coils are K-Sports, and the exhaust is Megan. I plan Lowering it pretty low, not oil pan scraping low but decent. I plan on picking up a floor jack tomorrow, idk if I should get a low pro, or a regular one.

But my first plan is to adjust the coilovers, but I don't know where to start. I'm trying to find a tech manual or somthing I can just read through to learn more. But for now this is just my regular Daily driver.

Any help/thoughts on this?! Thanks.

ya, i think a service manual would be good for you. It breaks stuff down step by step. Keep looking, there has to be one for 240sx's.

Another thing is whenever you jack up a car, lower it down onto jack stands.
It isn't really necessary for adjusting coils, but since you're new to working on cars it would be a good habit to get into.

If you're working underneath the car, ALWAYS have the car on jack stands.

Also, if you're working on hill make sure to chock the wheels. I've had my car roll off jack stands.

lastly, have fun and safety first!
