oil pressure problem
Do you mean, there's no oil pressure in the system? Ie if you remove the filler cap there's no oil? Or do you mean the gauge shows no pressure? The oil pressure senders fail on these cars for a pastime. If your talking actual oil circulation etc then i do seem to remember jeff finding a brand new OEM oil pump faulty out the box.

Strut Brace
Yeah I think your right there terry. The way I understand it, our cars suspension is designed for the force to not be loaded on the strut tops but on the FUCA, therefore it achives very little esp in the front and esp when the brace itself is able to flex or twist, those bolts will obviously move. If it was to work properly you would need solid ones, as I say though as I understand it they don't do much up front anyway.

Took it for a quick 25 mile round trip to the tackle shop today, running nicely. Aside from a leaking rear shock, damn it, at least the starter motor didn't fall off this time. Defiantly needs more go goes though. Then I parked it on my bomb site, I mean driveway sat there and drank a carton or tropical juice and admired it in the sun on my front step. Then I got back to smashing up rocks and coughing up snot :)

Lots of R and S bodies... but I just bought a Z32 by accident!

300zx tt standard clutch, how much ponys is it good for?
I can't give you a number either, I know a member got about 370hp out if his and it started slipping, I believe that was a newish clutch. Best bet is to buy an aftermarket one as said, mines a stage 2 one rated for 500hp and 500ftlb so plenty if ceiling for upgrades.

hers one for you?
Kind if struggling to understand what your saying there bud. As for your typing, it's not always easy, I am honestly aware of that. It often takes me along time to write out a post, my spelling and grammar is dreadful. It's got better, I have to sit and think a bit sometimes but genuinely it's pretty bad. My partner(future wife) laughs at my inability to spell everyday words. She has uncovered a huge extent of bad spelling I have, that I've previously hidden with hand writing that looks like it's just over excited. Part of it was/is the fact that I don't talk properly to begin with. For example there is no u in simular, the word is similar I only found that out about a year ago. If we go out to a restaurant, I cannot read the menu. I can literally read it, however the noise in the room etc prevents any of it going in, it's honestly a real struggle. Esp with non native restaurants where the dish description must be read to find out what everything is. I often just can't even be bothered so let her pick, the hour involved in finding something isn't worth it. So you see I totally sympathise with anyone who's written ability is lower than others, it can make life pretty awkward at times. As for the rest of that post, you've lost me. I can't see where that has become relevant. I know your having work done currently by mark, that's your choice as a consumer. There are favourite traders on this site, for the fact that they have long standing relationships with the club and it's members, that takes time. I don't have a preferred trader as such, I simply don't use anyone's garage services. I'm having fun learning about my car and getting my hands dirty, I'm pretty enthusiastic in that respect. My car has previously been worked on by Zedworld, who did a good job. Especially in comparison to the cowboys in derby known as "N#*+=? Autospares" who tbh wrecked my car and charged me a lot if money for it, that's where jeff had to step in. The club recommended him and that sorted stuff out. If I have a preferred mechanic, even though he hasn't worked on my car it's going to be jimmer, not only is he the closest, he's very experienced and I've met him several times and had help over the phone several times more, even helped me out with parts etc. So that would be my choice. Your choice is your choice, it's a personal thing. So I really don't get what your on about with people being liable for their comments. Anyways, I hope your issue gets resolved. No reason not to a professional is looking at it. If it is related to a vac/boost leak I will be chuffed as it means I'm getting smarter. If it isn't, which let's be fair is wholly possible I and others may learn something new. That's a good thing, I'm always happy to be educated.

hers one for you?
It's an expression, Too bark up the wrong or conversely the right tree. Essentially it means you've got it wrong, your looking in the wrong area or at the wrong thing. Equally to be barking up the right tree means it's the correct area. It doesn't necessarily mean your saying your correct, mearly that the hunch is looking good.
