Default Starting car after 6 months

Anything special I should do? The car has been sitting in my garage for 6 months while I was away at sea. I changed the oil right before we left for deployment so dont know if I should change it again. Anything else I should check? Its a 95 GSR with DRAG turbo kit.

i say test drive it to see for yourself if u feel like there is anything wrong. I also suggest u check all ur fluids. If ur still a a lil skeptical, i say take it to mechanic to have all ur engine checked. I had my mechanic check for anything wrong and it was free of cost. oh yeah, u should do a transmission oil change too. and good luck bro!

Change the oil, gas and hopefully you left your car on jacks or the tires might have flatspots.

might help to prime the motor too before you start it ... crank the engine with out spark for a few sec to build oil pressure

Bought it from a guy who was the original owner, he bought it for his son as a graduation present in 1987. It was used as collateral on a business venture in the 90's, then the bank went out of business and the car went into storage. They got it out, got it to crank, and I bought it and went though a huge hassle gettin the lien taken off. It's a piece of junk. It's overheating, a/c doesn't work, body panels are falling off, master cylinder is bad. I can't get the carb tuned right it's either a high idle or stalls, so I'm gonna have to actually take it to a shop and have someone who knows carbs better than me adjust it.
