Exclamation new to the gs family..

Wasup cL. i just recently traded my maxima for a 98 gs300 and so far so good.. i dont know much about these cars but so far typical door locks not working and TPS sensor seems to be iffy.
but besides that i just hope this forum can be of some help unlike the nissan ones lol
hope to gain some friends along the way
thanks
