Annnnyywayyy....

My 88 le gran, im unable to find any information on it.. i did speak with some guy from here but i dont think he recieves my emails no more

So, i know nothing about my car.. and im trying to figure it all otu and restore it all.
i know i need to fix the wiring that controls the electical areial and mirrors as they dont move any more.

but more importantly i would like to figure out this electronic suspension thing.. as it currently stands, when the car is on it is set to soft but all 4 orange LEDs flash non stop.

Also how do i know what oil to but in my car?
i wish i had a manual for this..


oh and for the record, mine in a 88 le gran, jap spec.. imported to australia.

I think you mean me
I have not had any more Emails from you
I know that the switch for the mirrors come loose and the contacts dont touch (wrap some tape around it)
For the suspension check that all the plugs are conected on the struts

And with the manual, You can get em but you need to read japanese

stick in what ever oil a early VG30ET 300zx has

Yeah i mean you :P

The only problems i have noticed with my car are pretty much little bits and pieces.

for example. the fuel guage can read empty yet i can get like another 150ks out of it.
my fuel warning light doesnt come on .. i tested it because i ran out of petrol today :P .. filled her up full so i think the tank is a 55L tank

ahh stuff it i gotta take some photos of my car, so when ive done that ill put up a new thread, listenign all the little issues i can find

I'm still waiting to hear the story of how/why you have owned 27 cars and are around my age. I'm still on my first!

Is this a hobby, or do you pick up junkers, fix-em and flip em? Just curious!

Its possible, I'm on my 4th car in 2 years and I'm 23. Almost bought a 5th earlier this month, but really couldn't afford it.

I've had 4 cars, 77 Mercedes 280E, 88 Ford Ranger, 86 Maxima, and a 97 960. Out of the 4 only one died, the mercedes, the ford I sold to my brother and he destroyed the motor and tranny, and I still drive the last 2.
