So I'm not sure if anybody is interested but I sorted the causes out, I think. I might wager that probably nobody is interested, these z31s get no love... sadness. I think my new mission in life will be to collect as many z31 turbos as I can, save these ladies from a sad demise in a scrapyard. I'm now a collector, with one z in my collection.
Gauge/Taillight malfunction - it appears this is associated with the headlight switch, the internals begin to short over time according to sources, common problem. I've got a new one in a box, waiting to be installed, should solve the problem.
One cool side effect of the faulty switch is that if I flip it just right, my headlights come on but stay down... so zleepy
Windows sometimes hesitate - this one actually seems to have subsided mostly, I read that the regulators and motors are usually responsible.
Oil temp/press guage - I think probably the sending unit for the guage is bad, I'll be getting a new one soon.
As for now I've got a full set of belts, hoses, a water pump, thermostat, and some other basic maintenance goodies ready to be installed, just a few more parts in the mail on the way.
Future plans: starter, distributor, plugs, wires, ac delete, digital to analog heater swap, coilovers with supporting camber/caster adjustable bits from rt.trackpro, full poly bushings, sway/torsion bars, wheels/spacers, z32/other brake upgrade, pathfinder intake manifold, turbo upgrade/rebuild, boost controller, nistune ecu (maybe)... some day down the road it'll get a new/rebuilt engine/transmission package as well.
