    IDK, but apparently nash421 doesn't respect us enough to maintain his thread!

    interested. Is it fiberglass? Any damage, and where are you located?

    18" GNX wheels? Who would buy these?

    Would these have a more significant step on the hoop to keep the center lattice similar to OE size? I'd like to see a modern size wheel in a package that has very subtle differences from OE.

    PBR Caliper Rebuild Kit?

    I have a stuck caliper. I'd like to rebuild them all since the car has been sitting for a long time. Does anyone know kit part numbers and where to buy them?

    Missing Valve Keeper

    Yeah, I thought a little about that, but it's a good running original engine. I think were just going to change the keepers and cap and let it ride. If there's a failure, we'll just rebuild it better. We will change the valve if it ever pops a head gasket.

    Missing Valve Keeper

    My brother and I are working on bringing my dad's '87 GN back to life. He died in 2003 and left the car to my brother. He purchased it new, and it currently has about 50,000 miles and has never had the valve covers off , but it is desperate need of paint. Anyhow we were halfway done with the...

    Kirban 1,600 mile '87 GN Barn Find Clean up Thread

    Neat project. Is that "safest rust remover"? Please post some after pictures and let us know how it will be protected. I'm also wondering how they will clean the fuzz off of the aluminum and brighten up the cast aluminum.

    The "Wayne Bender" Experience

    Looks beautiful, and I'm happy to read how happy you are with SPI's products. I've been wanting to try their stuff. Did you add the overcap of clear activator into the last base coat like Barry recommends? I loved Dupont's Europrimer because it filled well and could be used on flexible parts...

    What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?!

    I'd buy them also, but make them SOFT. I recall an article back the the 80's where the Gatorback finished first and last amongst all tires tested. The only difference was tire compound. I even ordered a set of the soft ones from Goodyear racing, but they came in buffed to 3/32" tread depth, so I...

    Factory painted tailpipes?

    I'm sure it was just an old fasion QC (quality control) measure. The exhaust was placed in a fixture/jig to be sure it met specifications and would fit properly. I'm not sure if it was done daily, weekly, every 100 pieces, or more or less often. Now a days it would just get put in a coordinate...

    Factory painted tailpipes?

    My brother's '87 also had the pipes painted from the factory. Has anyone else seen a factory exhaust that had "Fixture Checked" painted across the muffler in stenciled letters?

    trim paint

    IMO the SEM trim paint is too flat. Duplicolor in a rattle can from AutoZone is a nice match. Anything in a rattle can won't be as durable as a catalized automotive clear. I've been thinking about playing with flattening agent in a two or three part clear. Does anyone have any experience or...

    Replacement ECM

    I bought one at Advance Auto Parts last year. It works fine and didn't seem very expensive. I don't recall the price, but I'm sure it was less than $100.

    What do you think about being able to buy original TTA plug wires BRAN NEW again?!

    What's a set of originals worth? How come nobody ever mentions the intercooler hoses those said 20th TA also.

    Pass side water leak?

    The carpet was very wet. We're supposed to get rain tomorrow, so I'll see if the leak can be found. Maybe my ecu didn't get wet. I didn't see any water in it. It may just have been a coincidence and a bad assumption. I either case, the leak needs to be found!

    Pass side water leak?

    My ecu got wet and shorted out. The car got poured on a few nights ago. I did find some cracked sealer on the cowl top near the right hood hinge. I've also read that some third-gens rust out the in the cowl allowing water to leak into the dash. Any ideas where to look? Is this a common issue...

    Car won't start?

    That tar is some type of waterproofing. It's all over my fan relay just like yours.

    Help runs poorly, CE light flashes randomly

    Not started for 2 years. I'm going to change the oil/filter, fuel filter (though the 10 gallons that came out of the tank crystal clear), the diff fluid, and bend the downpipe off of the crossover. I plan on putting about 500 miles on it then adding the alcohol injection, chip, and 57 lb...

    Help runs poorly, CE light flashes randomly

    I put the GN computer in it, and it ran good. It did pop a bunch of times while doing a burnout, but it ran fine on a short test ride. It still has the original plug wires on it with ten year old spark plugs. I guess it's time to give it a tune-up and buy a computer.

    Help runs poorly, CE light flashes randomly

    Cleaned the prom, tried it, then replaced it with another. There was no change. I'm wondering if I have a bad ecm or a bad ground? I'm going to pull the ecm out of the gn and try it. Anybody have the TTA wiring diagram? Any other suggestions?
