    some small stuff

    Does anyone have a stock GN centercap? It doesn't have to be perfect, but I would like a 1/2 way decent one. I also need an "intercooled" emblem for the driver side fender, and a "3.8 liter turbo" for the driver side of the hood. How about a "dummy" button that goes on the passenger side...

    A quick ? about bumpers

    Were the original bumpers painted or powder coated? Were they gloss black or matte, or flat? Does anyone have a couple of those small, vertical black pads that go on the rear bumper?

    Headliner Fabric/Sunvisor source

    Hey guys - a quick question: I redid my headliner a couple years ago and just bought the fabric (which was spot on correct) and did it myself. PITA, yes, but it worked out. Question is: I can't remember where I got the fabric from!!! The same guy offered visor reconditioning service for...

    GN Car prices as of late ??

    Is it me, or are these cars not really fetching what they should be lately? I have been keeping an eye on Ebay's completed listings, and there are several nice 86 or 87 GN's with less than 100k having trouble fetching 8k?? Really?? A car that should be getting 10 or 12 k? Opinions?

    HR Parts N Stuff - gone?

    Are these guys still in business? I want to order a part, but the most recent info I see on the website is the 2009 catalog, and some "new for 2008" stuff?? Maybe there is nothing new to report and they are just fine? In this day and age, it makes it a lil harder to reach for the credit...

    Now I see why people sell these cheap. Help!

    I have owned a GN for 10 years now, and this board and it's members have been very helpful throughout the years. I have read these posts for a long time and learned a lot, and of course read the posts detailing someone else's abject frustration with these cars, and threatening to sell the car...

    Runs like crap after cam swap

    Just did a cam and lifters, got the car together and it idles great. Drives like new at less than 1/3 throttle. Scantool shows no codes. Apply any load to it all, and it sputters and even backfires. Fuel psi is 42lbs line off, cam sensor was set per procedure on gnttype.org - and I have moved it...

    ok, wtf....:mad:

    Thought I lost the timing chain late last season, was driving the car (running just fine) and it just shut off. Verified spark and fuel, no restart. Cranking sounded odd, and the boost gauge would blip during cranking, as if pressure was coming back into the intake. Thought surely the timing...

    CAM SELECTION (all opinions welcome!)

    Ok guys, weigh in. I need to at least replace a timing chain after the car just "just quit" late last summer. I have spark, fuel, erratic cranking sound, and a lil spike in the boost gauge during cranking. After I verify all 6 have good compression, I am convinced it's a timing chain. I...

    HELP! Dead GN!

    Was driving the car the other night and it was running just fine, for a mile or two and just cut out as if someone turned the key off. Will not restart. Cranks, sounds funny - almost as if it's trying to light the cans in the wrong order. Backfired once. Checked the cam sensor - it appears...

    How does this look to you guys?

    Just got the THDP on, just retuned the Turbotweak chip. Wondering about rich/lean in 1st as well as overall. Car is now making power, thinking trans may be slipping a little bit. Any pointers or advice would be great. 16 psi no knock. Turbolink files attached. Thanks in advance!

    Best Data logger?

    I am thinking of upgrading from turbolink. It works good but maybe a little limited? Whats the best bang for the buck? Directscan, etc and all of those are around...any thoughts?

    Stronger @ lower boost?

    Hey guys - finally got the brakes fixed. Now that I am driving it again, what might make the car feel stronger @ say 8-10 psi as opposed to 15? Almost feels like its running out of fuel? Fuel psi was checked and the increase is linear. Boost and fuel psi increase the same. I still...

    Passender floorpan wet....

    I recently noticed my passenger floorpan is wet after a good, soaking rain. The car is a hardtop, and the door seals look okay. I replaced the heater core last year and totally caulked (I think?) the entire top half of the HVAC box with black silicone caulk. I am guessing it's getting in there...

    Bad knock sensor?

    Got the car out this year and it's tossing code 43. Knock gauge does nothing, even on startup. (it used to show a few led's when you first started it) Seems plugged in and all, knock sensor and wires all appear fine. Someone mentioned the ESC module - a small box over by the MAP sensor...
