    Fuel pump, again

    Took the GN for a last tire burning ride this past weekend before putting it away for the winter. Got to a stoplight and noticed a rattling coming from the rear and shortly after taking off the car fell on its face so I coasted into a parking lot. Zero fuel pressure and the fuses were all good...

    CT Emissions

    Anyone in CT pass emissions with no cat? I'd be running stock injectors and factory chip. Any proven snake oil? Sucks, in one year I'll be exempt but, since the car failed two years ago I have to pass this time.

    Anything to gain from "bigger" injectors

    My GN is mostly stock: test pipe, exhaust, cone, adj. reg, pump/hot wire. Car has 47k. Assuming my stock injectors are fine, would I have anything to gain if I went up to 36 or higher injectors with a matching chip?

    Aluminum brake drums on GN

    With stock GN wheels, do I paint the drums? Paint them black, aluminum color? I'm not trying to pass the car off as a stock Pebble Beach car.

    Quading in CT

    Anyone do any riding in CT? I know this state sucks for any recreation but, does anyone do any riding around here anymore? I ride a 4x4 quad now so I prefer to ride with others of the same class. If I have to I will at least hang with someone who is good on a sport quad.

    Painting the inside of OEM fillers

    I pulled my fillers to get them repainted. Since I bought the car a year ago they keep there shine for a day before starting to haze over. They are still soft and flexible. Would painting the inside help preserve them by not letting them absorb or release as freely as they can when they are...

    Cleaning aluminum bumper supports

    I'm putting aluminum supports on my GN but I want to clean them up first. They have some oxidation in some spots. What's a good process or concoction for cleaning/killing oxidation and keeping them clean? Baking soda and water still the usual method for cleaning?

    How do I change 2-3 shift timing only

    What controls the part throttle and full throttle timing of the 2-3 upshift on my 87 GN? If I want to increase ONLY the 2-3 shift point by 1-2 hundred rpm or so, is it possible? All my shift points are spaced normal and appropriate except 2-3 which currently happens right after the 1-2 shift...

    What oil weight?

    With a mostly stock 45k+ motor what should I be running for oil? Warm weather use. Instead of 10-30 with the Zddp would it be any better to run 10-40 or 20-50 with Zddp?
