yea..i don't know much about the oil, i've never even changed it myself :\ the engine SAYS it has 99k miles on it, not too much, is that enough to use the 40? or should i go a little lower

yes, that's exactly how it is, like if i just turned left, and i go to turn right, theres like a gap where the steering wheel doesn't affect the car it's pretty annoying/dangerous

sorry what can i tell you to better diagnose the problem? i don't know much about that suspension but my friend told me there's play in the wheels

is it possible to fix the play myself? (i doubt it, but it's worth a shot), if not- where would be the cheapest place to get it fixed?

alright, sorry but when i first stated my idle pressures, it was 20psi, so i thought that was the standard for the idle, then i was driving and i looked and saw the 5 psi was pretty shocked i ran a diagnostic a month ago (nothing in the car has changed since) and there were no codes, so the...

shoot, i noticed today that the pressure on the oil got REALLY low, around 5psi i think.. i'm not sure if it's b/c of the cold weather, or if it's been doin this the whole time (when the guy diagnosted it), but i'll be sure to keep an eye on the gauge. when i'm out of gear and not on the gas...

hmm when i got home today (took the freeway), i smelled a strong burning kinda smell coming from my engine bay, i didn't have time to check it out cuz i had alot of hw. what can cause the car to smell like that?

no smoke comes from the exhaust, but the coolant did look like it had oil or something else in it. i haven't checked the oil yet, but what should i look for?

+_+, i can't afford a bhg... ahhh is there anything i can do to prevent further damage? or is the only solution the mighty 7MGTE swap..? i wish i could just do that but my family is in horrible debt as it is, this is gonna be a bad christmas :\

i noticed the car has been using coolant at a ridiculous rate.. i filled it to about the top the around 3 days ago, and today that damned light came back on.. i checked inside and the coolant bottle is filthy, looks like theres oil in there or something. i checked the TSRM and it doesn't say...

alright cool, thanks for all the info, saved me ~$100.. i'll talk to them again and see why they said it was so low, because they seemed to know alot about the car

alright, i was wrong about the gauge not changing, i just never really noticed.. at idle the oil pressure is at 20 lbs/in^2, when i rev it up to about 3000 rpm, it gets up to around ~40 lbs/in^2, didn't wanna push it any further in my parking lot or i'd have complaining neighbors. but yea, i'm...

-from memory, the pressure is maybe around 1/5-1/4 line on the gauge -i don't recall the oil pressure ever changing when driving.. could this mean that the gauge is just bad? -i havent CHECKED the pressure myself, i had someone come by that wanted to buy the car and he said that i should...

sorry i accidently put fuel pump in the title of the thread, i meant an oil pump. i wouldn't have to pull the motor to change it, would i? i'm not sure which oil was put in the car b/c i had it changed at a gas station

the oil pressure in my '89 n/a is pretty low, so i was told to get a new oil pump, but can anyone tell me if there's any special things i have do to do to replace it?

alright, so i shouldn't touch the radiator cap? because i still have coolant, it's not sucking it up that quickly, just over like a 2 week period since the last time, we'll see how long it takes for the 1/2 tank i filled up

nice work, i'm plannin something like this for my 89 if i don't pick up a 240sx :o

2 weeks ago, i was completely out of coolant, i bought a bottle, dumped the whole thing in there (it was full), and yesterday i had to refill it. well i looked for where to put the coolant into the radiator, i saw a little cap on top the radiator but i wasn't sure if that's where i was...

well i filled my coolant to the very top about 2 weeks ago, then yesterday i saw that damn birdcage sensor come back up, so i had to go to autozone and get some more. i know it should last longer than 2 weeks, i don't drive that much, or that rough, how do i check for leaks? oh and the...

ah, you have my exact car ftw
