Hello Everyone!

Ive been on this site many a year ago and have returned to the Nissan world! I recently purchased my 1985 GLL Turbo back from the person that owned it and he hammered it! I sold it 9 years ago and recently found it for sale from a action site and had to have it back, but since I owned it there are many things that have gone bad.
First: Is the AC, the condenser turns on but blows hot fully charged with Digital dash
Second: Parts of the Digi dash do not work, like miles gone, how many gallons left, and fuel gauge does not work properly
Third: Rust in areas that there should not be any and looking for donner parts
Fourth: 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear syncros grind once hot
Fifth: Driver side window does not roll down at all, almost like no power what so ever
Sixth: Pass side mirror busted

There is way more but these are the things I need help with. If anyone has parts or anything that might help would be more appreciated!

Feels great to be back in a Z!

1.A/C blowing hot is likely the dashpot issue under the dash, not a big deal
2.Fuel sender and speed sensor maybe?
3. It's a Z car, rust runs in the family
4. Might be as simply as fresh fluid, might be work out synchros, donor transmission is cheaper than a rebuild
5. might just need lubed, might need new tracks or motor, either way donor parts are cheaper than new.
6. Donor mirror

Thanks for the inside, Ill check on the AC thing tomorrow, and I did have the trans fluid drained and filled, it now does not grind when going up the gears. but sometimes now grinds downshifting. So far here in Utah, Im having troubles locating part cars. they have in recent years become very far and few between. I shall continue the quest for parts.

Synchro's may be work or could be that the hydraulis system isn't quite up to snuff. a slight bleed off can make slower shifts more difficult.
