    Scanmaster for sale

    I have a Scanmaster 2.0 for sale. Looking for $200 shipped to anywhere in the US (continental, of course). Paypal payment would work best. Oh and a note about this Scanmaster - it's set up right now to be easily transferred between cars, so it has a cigarette lighter adapter on it and a simple...

    87 GN in Mass., 100k, upgrades - $10500 OBO

    Hey All. Havn't been on the forums in a while, so excuse me if this seems crazy or wrong or whatever, but a while back I tested the waters on selling this car and never really committed since I just didn't want to get rid of it. ;) I need to get a new, more practical car and don't have...

    Brake light flashes periodically, why?

    I've noticed that lately, on the idiot light instrument panel, sometimes while I'm driving I'll press the brakes and the light will flash for a second and then go back off. It's making me a bit nervous since I've replaced the powermaster unit already and '87 buicks are NOT fun/enjoyable without...

    Valve noise and knock ratio related?

    Hey all, Is there anyway that a relatively loud valve train (louder than it every was before) could be causing false knock? I drove the car all summer the same way and towards the end of August, even as the weather was getting cold, i noticed a louder "tick tick tick" coming from the psg side...

    LOUD valve train noise, worried?

    Yesterday, the battery randomly died in my GN. Since it didn't die sort of progressively and nobody could jump it, i tried turning it over about 50 times before i put in a new battery today. I went thru checking the positive terminal, the wires, the relays, etc. Once the new battery was in...

    Funky 02 readings

    The other day, started the car and the scanmaster turned on as usual and i noticed something odd: 02's read: 000. Stayed like that for a bit, then went 005 007 009. I shut it off. Starting it again had a similar result, then i decided to let it sit. All other functions on the scanmaster seemed...

    Dutt neck and PP, more boost?

    I'm pickin up an RJC pp (stock plenum) and a dutt neck, probably do both at the same time and then try to tune the car a bit. My question concerns boost - after doin some research, i guess the dutt neck actually makes the car a bit leaner because of increased airflow and the pp evens out fuel...

    Bosch 237 FPR

    A Not-So-Adjustable FPR

    Yea, so in my attempt to find out why my car is running rich, i decided to throw in the adjustable unit i bought off some guy who "has a GN" on Ebay. It's a 233 reg with the aluminum/billet top and the screw on the top, same as any other AFPR i've seen made from a 233/237. Problem is, with the...

    Need help ASAP on thermostat install

    I can't believe i'm posting help for 160* thermostat install. I never even realized i hadn't put it in till i found it in my tool box. But thats besides the fact, i'm STRUGGLING with the last step in removing the stock thermostat. The spout that comes from the intake, which i believe houses the...

    Is 105 lowest BLM# possible?

    Yep, sorry, another "low blm #'s" post. I've tried doing some research through the search feature, but figuring out BLM #'s just doesn't seem simple. Once the car is warmed up, at cruise (no pedal) and at idle the scanmaster 2.0 is reading 105. I wasn't too worried about this number because...

    Replacing floorpan...

    So the drivers side of the floorpan is in rough shape these days. I was wondering if any one could tell me where to get at least the drivers side floor pan or possibly both the psg and drivers side (besides the boneyard)

    Gas gauge misreading by 1/4 tank??

    Now, i tried the search feature, but for whatever reason if i do more than 1 word it just shows a blank page... and i think "gas" and "gauge" by themselves would be a bit too general. :D Since dropping out my old, leaking tank and replacing it with the typical tank by spearco or w/e this...

    Tired of running rich, i think

    i FINALLY got a scantool. i know, but, college = no money. I'm pretty sure the car is running rich and it also has a somewhat rough idle. these are the problems i'm tryin to target with the scantool besides just making it run well. According to the scantool, O2's at WOT will hit .850+, recall...

    Newbie Boost Spike Q

    Even though i've had the car for over 3 years, still feel like a newb asking stuff like this. i was playing with the adj wastegate and was wondering what a "healthy" boost # is to run on 93 octane, bosch 237 fpr, because when u mash it in 2nd the spike hits 16# and then falls back to 14#. i...

    Need Quick Answer about GT3255e

    I'm looking at a precision .63 exhaust housing gt3255e turbo, pictures show its clean. he says there is zero in/out shaft play and a "slight bit" of up/down play. Is that normal? I'm looking to replace my factory stocker and heard this turbo is a bit better to run with a stock converter and i...

    Budget Street Suspension Q's

    Before i even get into what i'd like to get out of my gn's suspension, i need to make sure one problem is fixed. I have 265/5x/16 tires out back and 245/5x/16 tires up front, wrapped on AR TTII's. When i hit good bumps, and when people sit in the back seats, the rear tires rub on the fender. I'd...
