I'm auto-x'ing as well. The car seems to do ok at auto-x speeds, but above about 60 mph I have a lot of sway or wander in the rear end. I'm all stock suspension wise except for G35 wheels, which add height and sidewall, and that may be my problem.
I had all those leaks too and replaced taillight lenses and gaskets and all that crap and still had a leak. I finally found the last leak coming from the seam on the taillight assembly (right at the top edge) on the 87-88 models. A 1/8" bead of clear silicone fixed mine so check that area as...
