Ordered a new oil pump and pan gaskets. I'm hoping it's the pump. I'm going to price out new bearings as well to see just in case.

Set the steering wheel straight. Get a yard stick or something long and straight and tape it to the side wall of a tire. Tie some makeshift plumbs to the end. Mark the ground. Tape measure and extend the points on the rear tires all the way past the front tires. You can figure out the rest lol. That's one way of doing it.

Compression test is a start. Your catch can should not vent. You need vacuum to pull the oily mist out of the top end. It being full of water is because it's vented.

The tachs had issues. Hit or miss. My old one would work from time to time and would bounce all over the place until I got a new one.

Spliced in? Doesn't sound right. It's plug and play

Oil change. Realized I need more oil. Short a quart and a quarter. Hoping it bumps up oil pressure.

What were your main bearing clearances? Did you check your oil pump too? Also you are using a turbo oil pump?

The maf is a heated wire. More air flow cools the wire and tells the computer to spew more fuel. Less airflow less gas.

Clean it up and drive it some more and see. Oil gets trapped around the starter and slowly creeps down.

You could always hold out and wait for the perfect 4x4 to buy. Or buy some pacesetter headers and mod those.

I wouldn't have known since I was 2wd. Lol

Unplug the battery for a bit and reinstall. Make sure the connections are good. Let the ecu relearn.

Does anyone know how the antenna is secured down on the fender? I have the whip and not the motorized one. Mines just sitting in the hole.

Yeah I agree too. It's been done too.. Whats his face.... L and P guy who use to do the modified centerlink before he bellied up.

I replaced the trunk struts today and bout some more guages. I just need to find a place to mount them.

Rockauto.com is a start and use the discount codes.

What brand did you get off Amazon? When shopping for parts online, Rockauto is my goto source unless I need OEM parts.

I think the driver side transmission frame bracket will interfere with the collector on the headers. If you have broken studs and require extracting, then you're looking at a lengthy laborous repair. You are looking at least 1000 dollars. Do it all in one shot.

Hmm interesting. All the fsms state 9-11 psi a idle and I asked around and everything says the same thing. 300z guys.

There's less than a handful here but you can definitely find the threads. Not a lot of folks specialize with turbos but it's doable. Most of my turbo info and engine builds come from z31performance.com

Clink the link that Slarti posted. It's all the service manuals.

I might have ripped it a long time ago when I pulled the motor so I'll have to cut the loom apart. Thanks!

What model Guage for the oil pressure?

Sounds like a weak or dead battery.

I bought the Equus electric model. $50. Only thing additional is the wire to hook it up. The send has another prong so you can hook up your stock oil pressure dummy light to it. I'm still trying to find where my wire is to test it. Our VG30e reads 9 PSI at idle and I think 55-65 psi at 3200 RPMS no load. I'm running a z31 oil pump that is suppose create more oil pressure (FSM states 11 PSI at idle) but I do not think the pump itself is doing that so probably using the pump was just a waste (the timing belt covers and water pumps do not fully seal the timing belt--mix and match parts)
