I started working on the engine in my 100,000 mile GN. I want to get this thing back together. I tore it down some more and saw a couple of surprises. 1.) The original nylon timing chain sprockets were pristine, no chips, missing teeth, nada. It's coming out anyway. The tensioner has wear and...

I drove by a house last fall on a back road. I saw a Regal dressed as a GN sitting in the weeds next to a garage. I made a mental note of where it was located and today I was in the area so I swung by and it was still there. I stopped and talked to the owner and asked him it was for sale. He...

I broke my cardinal rule...take lots of pictures during disassembly. I've got my headliner recovered and the board is reinstalled. I've got most of the trim installed and I got to the rear metal trim piece with my new plastic clips and realized I don't remember which way the clip goes into...

Hi Guys, I went to a car show the other night and saw a really clean GNX. I believe it is number 341. Very clean car, 15,XXX miles and not a scratch on it. I had a chance to talk to the owner a bit and he was telling me that he had lost one of his center caps on the highway. He hadn't heard...

Sorry if this question has been asked before...I tried a few searches and it's just not bringing up the info I'm looking for. I would like to find a GM factory DIN-and-a-half replacement radio/cassette/CD and possibly equilizer that will fit in the original slot and look factory and sound good...

Hi guys, First time poster in the S2 area. I live in New England and need to wipe out my bank account (J/K). I have had my GN since new and I love it. I am no where near even maxing out my mostly stock set-up but have a line on a refugee engine from a BGNN car. I have been told it has an...

How much GM posi additive do I add per quart of gear lube?? Anybody know? I've got a quart bottle. TIA

I've been doing research on roll bars and saw some pics of a 6-point with a removeable cross bar, the horizontal bar behind the seats that the harness attaches to. The rules talk about swing-outs but I didn't see anything about removeable cross bars. Is it legal under NHRA and IHRA rules? Pinned...

My car has the stock wastegate solenoid set-up. I'd like to keep it that way. I like the chip to be able to drop a pound or two in third. Stock adjustable wastegate actuator, too. I put a THDP on my car a few weeks ago. I'm having some issues at the track. I can't seem to control my boost. I'm...

Quick question. I want to remove my stock turbo exhaust housing so I can enlarge the wastegate hole before installing my THDP. I've got all the bolts loose EXCEPT for that little ba****d down at the bottom by the oil drainback line. Is it possible to remove the exhaust housing with the turbo on...

I got my WinALDL cable built and working. I got it to run fine but I don't know how to find the file that the datalogger "should" be writing to. When I press the datalogger start button it appears to be logging. When I press stop it looks like it stops. I just can't find the file. Any help out...

My A/C doesn't blow cold anymore, just barely cool. I have never added freon to my A/C system before and I was given (2) older R-12 refill canisters and single hose/guage fill kit. It's not a full blown set of guages and hoses. How do I add some R-12 to my system? The guage has a green zone on...

Hey, Any of youse dump pipes heard from Tony? I tink he mighta fell in da river, if you knows what I mean. Or maybe he's doin' a little time in da Graybaa Hilton for runnin ova little old ladies. :D

Sorry to re-hash this one again. Which is the correct Denso O2 sensor to replace my heated sensor that I bought from Kirban's? I believe Kirban gets their heated O2 set-ups from Caspers. I did a search and found conflicting info on part numbers. One thread said it was a 234-4018, the other said...

I'm getting ready to box my rear control arms. I was poking around under the car spraying everything down with PB Blaster in preparation and noticed that the access to the uppers is pretty good. I'm planning on removing the lowers to change the bushings when I box them. I was going to leave the...

Do I need to use a tensioner with the Dyna Gear steel timing set? The part number is 78129. It a double roller.

Does the Fel-Pro valve seal kit that Auto Zone sells come with a little installation tool? It was around $15 for the kit but I had to special order it.

First, my apologies. I know this has probably been asked before but my search didn't reveal the info I was looking for. I plan on changing my valve springs to Comp Cams 980's. What is the correct installed height for these springs and how do I check it? I own a dial caliper. Is it possible to...

I bought a set of valve spring from Kirban's last summer. The catalog says they're 100 lb springs. When I install them, should I leave the cups off? Any advice on valve seals? Thanks.

Does anyone know if any of the TR vendors sell those pressurized injector cleaning kits? It's mentioned in the gnttpe.org maintenance section, under spring cleaning, I think. I had it done by a dealer at about 20,000 miles but I would like to get a kit to do it myself. The dealer called it a...
