Looking for the best GN info. website?

[The Swede]

Hi all!

My new imported -86 GN is going to the big cartest (registration) here in Sweden and i need some VERY good info about the engine from the web.
What i´m looking after is a site where you can read such info like how many horses the engine where rated from factory, also pic´s on the engine.
Thay are also gonna ask what "engine family" the engine is.

From what i´ve found out is that there is only 1 more GN here and that one is what we call "removal cargo", which means that the owner has lived and owned this car for more than 1 year in USA and then moved back to Sweden.
In this case Swedish law says that the car can be as it was in USA and no further modification is needed.

Thanks!

Thanks Two Lane...... all i found there was production numbers and history.... nothing was said about hp.

If you click on this link (TTA) http://www.89tta.com/ttaspecs.htm and look at engine specs i hope you understand what i´m looking for.

Thanks again!

Did you have to go through this with the TTA? I know there are minor differences between them (crank,heads and such) but couldn't you just claim they are the same??? Oh well, good luck to you.

Nope, the TTA was imported from Germany and then we have different law inside the EU! Strange? Yea..... f**k yes!
What´s the differnce on a car from USA compared to one that has been imported from USA to Germany?
Right! NOTHING!!!!!
