    Judging interest in complete engine and trans

    My 86 GN was just totaled friday night. I havent decided for sure, if I am going to sell the drivetrain or try to put it in something else. Just thought I would see what you guys thought it would be worth if I were to sell it. There is 130k on the engine. About 10 thousand ago did a...

    XR3 roller cam

    I was just curious about this cam. I have noticed that people on here are a lot more conservitive with cams than most of the cars I have dealt with in the past. I know on the other hand, I rode in a grand prix gtp that had a turbo conversion w/ a super t70, that had a cam even larger than this...

    86 GN stolen in Indianapolis

    I woke up this morning and my car was gone. I live in an appartment complex so it wasnt locked in a garage. I still have to talk to the appartment complex when they open to make sure that it wasnt towed for some reason, but there was never a tow notice on it(I drove it daily). The vin in case...

    18" wheel backspacing

    I plan to run 18x9.5 in the rear, and wondered if it is possible to fit 18x9.5 in the front also. I know I have seen people run 18x9.5 w/ 18x8.5 in the front, but didnt know if the 9.5's can be made to fit up front. I have priced out '06 z06 brakes w/ my discount, and am considering doing...

    bumper/front body alignment

    Well, my problem is that the bumper sits low enough that it touches the filler panels, at the corners and has rubbed paint off. It creates a gap in my air dams where it goes from the bumper to the fenders. I have the bumper pushed up(I think as far as it will go in the slots). The car has...

    hooker headers w/ thdp posible?

    I have the thdp 3.5, and found a guy that has a set of hooker headers for sale. I think he said that they will work w/ a normal dp, but I did a search, and it sounds like they might require a special dp? Just wondered if these will work w/ my dp. Ben

    I am wanting to get direct scan, but I am on a bit of a budget right now. I have a newer laptop, with windows xp pro. I know that you have to have to be in dos to run ds. Has anyone had any experience using a dual boot setup, or maybe some kind of emulator to let you run dos while in windows...

    Just recieved my PT67 from R.A.

    It just came in today, and I have a question for you guys. I was under the impression that it came w/ the compressor housing w/ the 4" inlet and 2.5 outlet. When I recieved it I realized that it was the smaller one. I did some searching on the boards, and it appears that you have to speicify...

    knock in first(false or real)

    I am running the setup in the sig. I am running about 16 lbs of boost. My audible detector goes off when boost comes up from a launch in first. If I get on it from a roll, I can take it up through third gear and dont get any knock. What are the chances that it is real down low like that? It...

    New ATR exhaust crossover/ovalized ds header flange

    Well, I ordered an ATR crossover pipe because my passenger side part of the pipe leakes because it has been bent up at some point. The drivers side doesnt leak with the stock crossover. When I recieved my new crossover, it had a note with it to check to see if the flange on the header was...

    I was curious, what turbo you guys think would go with my combo. I had been thinking about the gt67, but wondered what you guys think. I have run a 13.0 on 93 octane the way it is now. I plan to plumb the powerstroke soon, and then get a new turbo. I also plan to port the stock irons and...

    Will I notice a difference with drag lites

    I ran a 13.5 @97.9xmph. Would I see a noticable difference by putting on the drag lites with the same tires compared to the steel gn wheels. I plan to put them on next time I go back home(at school now). I have noticed that there is a very noticable difference in weight. Ben

    How bad can an exhaust leak hurt performance(crossover)

    I know the reasons why it will hurt performance(spool up, and 02's), but to what extent. I have a pretty bad leak on the crossover pipe. I did a top end clean to look for leaks, and it was leaking on both sides of the crossover, but it was real bad on the passenger side. The flange where it...
