This is a bit of a long story -- but i need to get all the details out to get an accurate diagnosis -- part one -- after sitting for six months my car 1990 Z32 2+2 has a bit of steering wheel chatter when braking lightly -- not with firm braking -- have the 3K brembo big brake kit -- part two -- after driving quite fast (45 mph) threw water i did not see on the road the power steering seemed to disappear -- drove like a tank (like when your steering knuckle is bad) -- went to local mechanic -- i was suspecting the speed sensitive connector on the rack might be loose after the impact with the water -- went to a local mechanic -- drove it into the bay -- I play with the con…

Looking to get a uprated oil cooler. Does anyone have any recommendations at all? Also do these get sold as kits? ie cooler with braided oil lines etc. Is there also any places that you would recommend that I can get these from. I did a search on here and see that someone has used Mocal 25 row x 235 matrix oil cooler,+ mocal thermostatic flow valve set up with Braided pipes. Would this be a suitable replacement?
