Around town & very short trips I find Nitto 555 drag tires to be about the best. Looking for a good long trip highway tire. Want 275 x 50 15". Mickey Thompson appears to be only street tire that size or wider available. Want to keep car as original appearing as possible, I run T-type widened...

Currently running Nitto drag radials & they work great around town, however, they are not desirable on the highway (they'd most likely melt)? My Nitto's are 275 50 x 15 on '84 GN wheels widened to 9.5". I would prefer to keep the 275 or a bit larger patch on the road to help reduce the...

An 87 TType on side of road over a week in Jax less than a city block from where I used to live. Left my phone on it & still no contact. Car is rough & appears to not been garaged. Maroon, black out, grey interior, no apparent mods, old base sticker (unreadable), current FSU tag. Hate to think...

:confused: Was watching a Matlock serial taped in 1987. A GN? was brought on camera & introduced as a FBI car. I wasn't paying attention 'when the front grille was on camera & noticed the GN hood. Only the hood & top were on camera at this point - couldn't see the wheels. Once it passed...

:confused: Put 4.3 gears from a 2 wheel drive in my 4 x 4 case. Acts like it is trying to keep 1st engaged at same time I select R. Getting metal in the pan. Tried both valve bodies - no change. Is this a feasible conversion? I'd like the lower 1st gear since changing my rear from 4.56 to...

Put 4.3 gears from a 2 wheel drive in my 4 x 4 case. Acts like it is trying to keep 1st engaged at same time I select R. Getting metal in the pan. Tried both valve bodies - no change. Is this a feasible conversion? I'd like the lower 1st gear since changing my rear from 4.56 to 3.73.

Actually a friend let the smoke out. He hasn't been driving his GN for a while, his headliner is sagging. When warming up the GN at idle speed in the carport, smoke came out from under the hood. Investigating the issue, he found the transmission cooler lines to be glowing bright red. Later...

I was at a red light in right lane & another car in left lane & Prius pulled up to my right with less than 1/8 mile before his lane went to right turn only. I was a little surprised how hard the Prius launched - being a eco car & all, but I stayed with him to about 30mph & then taught him not...

Just acquired door locks & power windows from a 82 2 door Electra. Will these install without modification? Are these window motors more powerfull than GN?

My upper control arm outer bushing takes a beating from heat off the downpipe. Does anyone have a cure for this recurring issue?

I'm aware of many builders retrofitting a F*** 9" in the GN. My question is, why not go with a bigger GM rear? A 14 bolt with 3.73 gears cost me $100 & it measures only 1" larger externally. It also has huge brakes. :confused:

All 3 of my China receiver/driers leak at the fitting to the evaporator. They only leak at high pressure, a normal installation does not check for leaks under high pressure, only at low pressure. This makes the leak almost undetectable when working on the A/C system. Low pressure at the...

Looking for original lacquer paint to restore my GN. Unable to find locally.

Went to my local auto parts store today & had to order both radiator hoses. They had the 2 formed heater hoses in stock & they were formed/manufactured in 1985. I had to order them also. Maximum shelf life on rubber products is 7 years. Heard about one of those roll over special...

I'm looking for r12 for my a/c.

Anybody have any R12 you want to get rid of?

I need a set of radiator fans similar to those Mike Licht was selling about 5 years ago.

Needing a good set of radiator fans for my Typhoon. MikeLicht sold out all of his about 3 years ago. I'm happy with the set I put on the TR long ago.

I have an overhead compass & outside temperature readout. I have the auto wiper speed unit. I have digital sequential tail lights. I have far superior headlights. I have 12" brakes. I would like to do away with the key to open the doors & the ignition. My wife's Avalon has this...
