I bought another GN and it’s a mystery. The original owner passed away in 2000, when the owner passed, the car was left to his sister and she kept it up until last year when she sold it to me. She was very sentimental over the car but she was retiring/moving and didn't want the hassle any longer. She took care of it to the best of her ability but it needs some TLC. Her brother was a GN lover and street racing it was his hobby. She told me some great stories about her brother racing the car etc. He spent a ton of money on the car but she had no records of what was done. I told her I would make her brothers car right once again. I plan to document everything here.
The car has 50k original miles but it’s been repainted. She said she didn’t really know why it was painted but I have some theories. When I picked up the car it would barely stay running. I eventually found the old ATR chip was programmed incorrectly so the throttle blade screw was turned in to compensate, therefore the IAC was ineffective. I replaced the chip with a SD2 and powerlogger. It ran good but some things bothered me and I want to know what has been done to the car so the engine is coming out.
It will be a fun little project…
This is what the car looked like when I picked it up.
