    Houston Test Dump Y pipe

    Pipe is 3" and am pretty sure this is not stainless. A magnet sticks well. I know some stainless is magnetic, but let's just call this steel. Looks almost new and you wouldn't guess it is 9 years old because it has no rust, oxidation, or corrosion. I ran it briefly on my GN, but it's been just...

    How do I identify turbo?

    Bought the car used and installed a new turbo/downpipe combo almost right away. It wasn't leaking or failing, I was only following the recipes for going fast. This was 10 years ago and today I realized that old turbo was still wrapped in plastic under my workbench. I want to sell it, but need to...

    cold engine compression test

    I checked the compression on my 86 GN today because my neighbor bought a tester off ebay and wanted to see if it worked. Cold engine cylinder compression ranged from 97 to 86 psi. Due to a fuel pump issue still pending, I can't warm the motor. Also didn't squirt any oil into the cylinders to...

    Brf?

    I know it's not short for... barf. Sorry for stupid question, only now learning about trans because mine is going south. What exactly does BRF designate on our transmissions? How important is it that I replace my trans with one with this tag? The search tool doesn't seem to recognize 3 letters.

    can my 200 4R be resurrected?

    My car runs 12 sec 1/4 so pretty mild with stock converter. Trans is also stock as far as I know. Lately, when I run it hard, full throttle, the shift to 2nd is mush. If I run it half throttle, it will sometimes chirp or at least a solid shift with a jolt. Anyway, when the trans was...

    Upper control arms

    After hearing a single clank on the right front every time moderate braking is applied, an investigation found the right side upper rear bushing missing. No doubt from heat. Do I install the $7 a set Autozone bushings and fab a heat shield or is there something much better at a similar price...

    GN Stock Radiator... any value?

    Do I toss it, sell it, or recycle it? I have what I think is the stock radiator off my '86 GN. The oil lines connected to motor side, trans lines were on opposite side. Does this sound stock? Never leaked but probably needs to be rodded out or acid flushed. It's a complete and undamaged...
