Anyways I finally changed my pads and rotors, made next to no diff in the stopping power or pedal feel but it took the shaking out of the steering wheel. Down side is, when I was changing the pads the calipers leaked a little. sooooooo looks like its time for new front calipers too

Leaked a little? As in one time? Or they are still leaking?

No need to buy a complete caliper, just get a seal kit.

Not sure what I did, but the Z won't start now. Also all that works is my headlights, interior lights, and my wipers. Good times. So I'm not sure if it's the switch or the wiring is annihilated somewhere. Time to start tracing, or I'm going to just end up wiring this whole car in the end.

Fusible Links are good. At least last I checked they were. I'm gonna go and do a continuity test on all of em. They should be ok. The fuel pump kicks in, it cranks, the ECU seems fine. I'll have to go take a look. As far as only some things working, I think I'm going to have to go the hoov route and just rewire everything. Or at least a good portion.

Well It wasnt raining and my wiper tank is empty so Im assuming it has to be coolant.

Theres so little of it I cant tell the color but it smell more like water. BUT my cooling system has like 60-80% water in it

All day long, it was blowing air that was about 45F (according to the little thermostat I have in a dash vent) Are you thinking its from condensation?
