    GN Die Cast wanted

    Does anyone know where I might buy a die cast model of a stock 87 GN? All I can find are "modified" in some manner or another and not to my tastes. I would like a model that shows the car as it originally was built by Buick.

    MAF pipe

    Not sure if this is the correct place for this but none of the other forums looked any more relevant. Does anyone know where I can buy a 3" polished aluminum or chrome MAF pipe to fit a stock 87 GN with stock turbo, stock MAF sensor, and stock air box? I do not want a cut to suit beat to fit...

    Puzzled

    This morning I decided to install my new fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge. To relieve pressure I removed the fuel pump relay and started the engine. I expected it to run for a few seconds and stall. It did not. It ran for 10 minutes and still didn't stall. Thinking I had...

    fuel pressure gauge query

    I just received a fuel pressure gauge kit from Kirban's. Pretty straight forward but after reading the instructions I seem to detect a CYA tone by saying things like gauge is for tuning purposes or "if" you leave it connected after checking pressure be sure to check often for leaks. It is a...

    Engine temperature

    Any thoughts on engine temperature. I am looking at Hypertech 41372 chip which recommends 160 deg. They also have one for 180 deg. but recommended the 160 version. Said more HP. Don't know whats in there now so I would just replace thermostat. E-mailed turbo tweak twice with no reply but...

    fuel pressure regulator

    Does anyone here know for sure what the fuel pressure is using the stock 0280160233 Bosch regulator? I understand switching to a Bosch 237 would give me 5 or 6 additional PSI but nowhere can I find the pressure ratings on either. The Accel 74761 claims to cross reference to the Bosch 237 and...

    Spark plugs tips

    Can anyone offer any tips on changing plugs on 87 GN? I took the front plug out on the drivers side and for a couple of turns or so it acted almost cross threaded. It finally loosened up and I saw no damage to the plug. I reinstalled it with a little anti sieze compound. I heard somewhere...

    Trans mechanics in Atlanta

    Can anyone recommend a good transmission shop in or around Atlanta. I would prefer one that you have actually used and not just heard about if possible. I would like someone who knows his way around the 200R4. Thanks in advance.

    Air filter info

    Is there either an aftermarket or replacement air filter for 87 GN that does not cost the king's ransom. My car has what appears to be the original (a sealed metal box) unit. Everywhere I have looked I get an image of a paper element in various shapes which is for an 87 Regal and makes no...

    new owner needs guidance

    I am a relatively new owner (2 months) of a real nice looking 87 GN. I have no history on the car whatsoever and do not know if it has been modified in any way. I do know that the two times I got into it the OEM boost gauge went to the peg and the car seems very, very, fast. I plan on...
