    Need some help finding the value of a GN

    I met a guy who is looking to sell a Grand National, but isn't sure what it's value would be. I went to check it out in person the other day and it's a nice straight car with 51,000 miles. His uncle bought it brand new in 1987 and kept it mostly original until a few years ago when it was around...

    Coolant Leaking from Air Filter

    Today I found a puddle of coolant under the GN. After opening the hood I could see a few drops coming from the bottom of the cone air filter. I check the hoses nearby and it appears that there are no other leaks. There is no coolant or water in the oil. My coolant level was low so I added some...

    No Spark, No Start

    I had just finished pumping a full tank of 93 into the GN, then I went to start the engine, it ran for just a few seconds then died. I could not get it to start. It sounds like it wants to start, kinda like I need to pump the gas as if it were a carburetor vehicle. Battery is fine, Scanmaster...

    adjustable wastegate install

    My 87 GN (stock turbo set up) does not have an adjustable wastegate. Would it be worth it to buy an adjustable wastegate and installing it? Is it that simple or no? Thanks.

    GN or T-Type Smoked Head light Covers

    I have a set of smoked head light covers to sell. I purchased these new from a guy who had them in his shop for years. I removed the white lettering GTS or GTO on the front side. When I went to install them I found my head lamp bezel was warped and these don't fit. I would sell them for $50 plus...

    Tail light fuse keeps going out

    Back in April, my tail light/dash light fuse went out. Not a big problem, I put a new fuse in and the problem was solved. In the past week the fuse has blown 3 times. I've stocked up on 20 amp fuses for the time being, but has anyone else had this problem? What's the best way to troubleshoot it?

    Can't do a burnout

    I got the GN back this week from getting the transmission rebuilt, I ordered parts from CK Performance. The car runs great from a roll or kick down, I can chirp the tires from first to second gear easily, sometimes at half throttle. However, I cannot powerbrake this car. It's not that I don't...

    O2 reading jumping around

    I was able to hook a scanmaster up to my car today, most all of the readings were good. I did see where the O2 millivolts reading should be between 700 and 850 at idle, which it was most of the time, but every few seconds it will drop down to a 354 or a 114 then shoot right back up. Is this an...

    new transmission

    I think the torque converter is going out of the grand national, it was stock. so I'm thinking of getting a better one, and I'm not sure what to look for or go with for a new one. I could just have the factory one rebuilt but for about that price is there anything out there that would be better?

    Oil to use

    I've always used Mobil One fully synthetic for my oil changes on an 87 GN. I met a guy who has one and said I should use some Zinc additive oil. Is that something I should add to my Mobil One oil change or would he be talking about a different kind of oil I should use for the GN?
