Infamous '86 GN, Tomorrow I plan on being at the Arlington airport car show 'till mid afternoon. So late afternoon to early evening would be OK. Or, meet me at the car show, I probably will have the only GN there. Let me know.

Thanks Dan, will hold the Powermaster core for you. Stop by when you get a chance.

I'm located in Marysville, north of Seattle.

I have a few things I would like to sell locally to avoid shipping (if possible) and paypal (I do not have an account): 1. $130. Translator Plus ver 6.2. Includes all cables and instructions. 2. $40. LS1 MAF for item-1 (3 " dia). 3. $80. Replacement Powermaster accumulator ball...

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the MC and wheel cylinder bleeding again. Any thoughts on the slow pedal return. No binding observed anywhere.

I used the proper pedal for the vacuum brakes. Should the master & booster come from a V8 car rather than the 6?

1st problem: Normal braking at best, no panic stop capability. On my '86 GN I used '86 N/A-6 master cylinder & booster (is this an OK unit to use?). Vacuum from vacuum block. New brake pads/shoes and all wheels bled. 2nd problem: Brake pedal slow to return, 4 - 5 seconds.

PM sent to IrvJr.

Hi IrvJr, I am in the Seattle, Wa area. Do you have anything I can use?

I need the following 86 GN parts in excellent condition: - Front bumper including backup structure & lights - Front bumper fillers - Header panel - Left headlight frame with side marker Thanks, Tom 425-367-3773

Thanks, and is there a gasket between the master cylinder and the booster?

I have started the vacuum brake conversion. After removing the Powermaster unit there remains a rubber seal bonded to the firewall. Should this be removed before installing the vacuum boost unit? Is it supposed to be mounted metal to metal? Is there supposed to be a gasket between the vacuum...

Would you be willing to include shipping to 98270 for $150?

Any advantage (performance) for replacing stock turbo for say a TA-49 on a street driven GN (93 Octane & 15-17 psi)? Does turbo efficiency result in better street performance? With both turbo's running the same boost I would think the performance would be the same, right?

I had the same problem. I had to replace the shifter cable. Mine got to the point where in "park" the car would be in reverse. I picked up a new cable from Advanced Auto for less than $30.
