ok well i have a 93 240sx and literally something new breaks on it every week...well i have a few questions about some problems im having with the car and i was hoping you guys could possible help me out.

1. i have these h4 bulbs that i wanted to put in but they are 85/80w and i just wanted to know if my 240 could maybe handle that or will it just burn out the wires?

2.my brakes are messed up after a little while of driving when i come to a stop and then release the brake pedal it makes a sound like *DOONK* kinda like it poping back into place and sometimes while braking it will either screeches or feels like grinding i guess would discribe it im not sure... but the sound almost always come from the from brake but sumtimes i hear the DOONK from the rear passenger side...well maybe you guys could tell me what the prob is becuz when i checked i couldnt find anything wrong and it bothers me becuz i replaced the front calipers, rotors, and pads cuz they were bad and then this comes up.

3. this one is really more a confirmation... me trans will randomly make a noise like its grinding the gear for a sec most of the time it happens when i let go of the clutch but not alwayz...so im guessing my clutch is messed up

1. No idea, use the search function on that one.2. A clunk or donk noise normally points to something being loose. You pulled the wheels off and inspected the rear brakes?? At work, a clunk usually = loose caliper bolt.3. Is it grinding or a whirring sound?? Does it change or go away when you put the clutch in? If its a growling sound, it could be the input shaft bearings. I would take the car to a transmission specialty shop and have them listen to it. Most GOOD transmission techs have a good idea of whats wrong before they ever pop the case open.4. Good luck!

well when i hear the trans noise when im releasing the clutch when i press it back in it seems to stop making the noise...i cant really discribe the noise i guess its like a high pitch sciiiirrr but it doesnt happen all the time sometimes not at all but ill try to catch the sound in a video so you guess can hear

as for the rear brakes i did take the wheels off and didnt find anything but im gunna recheck with a friend cuz sometimes i miss things that are starring me in the face
