I need a good working used stock electric radiator fan for my 87 GN, with a reasonable price. The one in the car took a dump as I was leaving the fairgrounds at the Car Craft Magazine show yesterday and my motor got very hot! (It cooled down when I hit the freeway, though). I don't have the...

Just wondering how much my fellow members drive their GN's? I bought mine in September 2008, at just a couple miles shy of 120,000 miles on the odo. I am at 176,000 at this point- 56K miles driving since I bought her. What are you guys at??? Just wondering? My GN gets 5-7 miles per...

Took the GN to a couple shows last Saturday, and absent mindedly ran the car really low on fuel (to "E"). I fueled it back up, but on the way home, The knock guage would show green, yellow, and red LED's if the engine was under slight load. The Scanmaster would also show varying degrees of...

Continued.... I was driving home from work today in the GN (Its my daily driver this time of year) and I spy a Tahoe SS coming up really fast in the right lane behind me on the freeway (Im in the left lane). They get along side me and match my speed.... I look over and I see big smiles...

Even though it has its issues, I love my GN to pieces. It is such an ego booster. I was feeling a little down today- More lawyer junk pertaining to my on-going divorce. Decided to go to Mc'Ds for a salad and large fries. I went thru the drive thru and had to pull into the waiting lane...

After doing lots of work on the top end of my engine, I changed the oil yesterday after 500 miles on the "break in" oil, and noticed quite a difference in my engines oil psi after the change. I was running the engine immediately after the work with Mobil Delvac 15w-40, ZddPlus addative, and...

I recently upgraded to a TA49 and want to sell my stock turbo. When I bought my GN in Sept '08, The previous owner said that the turbo was a recent replacement from Postons. I put about 20k on the car before I changed to the TA49. No in-out play, very slight side-to-side play (which I am...

I searched my service manual and couldn't find the torque for the bolts for the intake plenum to intake manifold. Anyone have this???? Thanks in advance! John

I bought hardened, thicker rocker shafts from a vendor in June and installed them a few weeks ago (along with some Champion iron heads, TA 49 turbo, etc...) After driving it for a day, I started getting noise from the top of the motor. At first I thought it was lifter noise. The noise kept...

Well, Thanks to all that responded to my other thread, I finally got you car running again. The injectors were indeed stuck. Now, From the very second it fired, It is blowing clouds of white/grey smoke! Mosquito fogger smoke. Is this normal for a injector and/or chip swap? I have 42.5 lb...

Well, Last night I finished installing my 42.5 lb greentop injectors and TT chip. I went to start it- and it wouldn't run. It would turn over and try to fire, but it just wouldn't "catch". The car never failed to start for me before. I double-checked all of the connections, plumbing...
