    Can't get Accumulator Ball Off

    This is not the first time I'm replacing the accumulator ball. I've done it before without any issues twice. Just bought a new ball, ignition is off, I pump the brake about 25 times, (The pedal never really gets hard like it's supposed to. Probably pump it 100 times) I try to take the old...

    Freon Type

    This might be a moronic question, but i've been searching our forums and haven't seen an answer. 87 stock GN, I've had her about 5 years. AC blows hot, compressor isn't turning on. It used to work, so it's probably low on Freon causing compressor to turn off. Well it's hot and my wife wont ride...

    SpoolFool Bumper fillers

    Ok. I am here to give a little (actually a lot) of praise to Mike aka Spool Fool and his bumper fillers. I have a totally stock 87 GN, with the factory paint (still beautiful) and of course all the filler started cracking and actually falling off. After some research I decided SpoolFool's full...

    1st gear only

    I bought a replacement radiator from alradco because mine was shot and preparing to put it in myself, but could never get a day off to do it since I work all the time. A friend of mine who has a shop offered to drop it in for me, he's a well respected mechanic and knows what he's doing. So I let...

    Intercooled Emblem

    Was washing my 87 GN yesterday and realized one of the Intercooled emblems from the fender fell off :/ Kirban is selling a set of 2 brand new for $80, not really looking to buy 2 or spend that much since i just bought bumper fillers and waiting for them to come in. Anyone have a used one laying...

    High idle at stop

    I have an 1987 GN, 54k miles. Totally stock. Recently after driving a bit and coming to a stop (stop sign) i would feel the engine rev high then drop down. So i put it in neutral, and the RPMS go up to about 1800 then drop down to normal 750-800 range. This happens everytime i stop driving and...

    GN - Upper door panels

    Hey, anyone have a new set of upper door panels for an 87 GN they dont need? Mine are clean, but the lines (not sure what you call that drape effect) are not that solid and it kind of looks flat. Thanks! Jack

    Oil Sender

    I bought the dual gauge water temp and oil pressure gauges from Kirban. Was wondering if it is worth getting the T valve for the oil sender unit, or just screwing the one that came from Kirban and removing the stock sending unit. I'm pretty sure its just for the dash light. I'm planning on...

    0 knock retard..

    Hi all. Perhaps this is a stupid question (or do they say there is no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid amswers)? I finally bought a scanmaster and it shows I have 0 knock retard. All the other numbers line up at the correct levels, but I would have thought that some knock would show...

    Wax?

    Hey guys, quick opinion poll: I've always used meguiar's carnuaba wax on my 1987 GN. It still hast has the original lacquer paint and it's real nice shape and still shines (no crows feet). I was thinking of trying the meguiar's black paste wax. Has anyone found the wax he (or she) likes the...

    Passenger Side Mirror

    Quick question. I know not all GN's had remote passenger side mirrors. For the ones that aren't, are you able to manually tilt the mirror up and down with ur hand? I saw one recently where the glass was stuck as is in place, couldnt be moved. Never saw a non remote mirror before, was wondering...

    Open Diff

    After loosing my GN in an accident many years ago, i've been looking around for another. I have seen a few, some fakes, some dirty dogs, and today saw the first nice one. This one has about 35,000 miles and is in mint condition. 100% stock. 2 owners. The one thing is that it doesn't have a posi...
