the lower core support is a structural member and shoul be pulle don a chassis rack

as for the mis, check the ecu for codes would be step 1, step 2 would be to verify taht the car si runnign on all 6 cylinders by disconnecting each cop 1 at a time untill you find one or more that does not effect idle

on the clutch when you bled it did you belld at the remote bleeder on the passanger fender?

no nissans, just Z32's these cars are seriousl overenginnered for thei time in which they were produced, most new cars has less sophisticated electronic's, many of todays high end luxury cars run similarly complex systems

sounds liek you need someone wiht a consult or conzult to hook up to your car and check the steering iagnostic's , there si some sort of speed sensitive crap on the steering might be having an issue

battery light is either a bad battery, bad alternator or a loose alternator belt
