Well it finally happened -- with the Z32 in it's element on it's way to the twisty turns of the infamous Hwy. 129 'Dragons Tail' [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7pMIgdNtzw[/youtube] in East Tennessee the odometer clicked in the 5th Digit....

I don't know were everyone on this Forum is located but we should get together sometime for a drive through the Dragon this Spring before
Leo gets heavy in the the area. "Official" (some say illegal) speed limit is 30mph but this incredibly curvy and very smooth paved road is mostly 2nd and some short 3rd Gear runs.
Of course there are those pseudo-"professional" drivers who like to test their (and their cars) limits, some exceed those limits and regret it.
In any case, [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akjRp8GJiUc[/youtube] is a blast to drive

Rager,


Congrats on the "Big 6" figure -- I will probably have left this planet before mine reaches those numbers.

Is that with the original drive train ? Rebuilt ? Any problems along the way ?
I do hope that oil pressure was just after start up -- mine seldom gets over 1/2 that level with a warm engine.

10,000 miles?! its still a baby! congrats

Mine is close to Rager's, I'm sitting at 98,450ish miles. But I rebuilt most of the engine (except bottom end) at 98,300 lol

[BlackWidowZ]

100,000 still low for a 20 year old car imo.

[300ZXttZMAN]

+1 ^ mine is sitting at 109k.

Then you most likely have a bad pressure sending unit. Spec at 3k (which is what that looks like, give or take a bit) should be 51-65 psi.

[Ace2cool]

[Ace2cool]

I know. It's just easier when you're citing a certain page to link to it or whatever. Plus PDF's get all weird on my PC.
