Hello everyone. Figured i'd join after creeping the forums for a bit. I just picked up a 87 GN with 68k on it, all original immaculate inside. Body needs some love but no rust. I've been craving one of these beasts for a while! The guy I bought it from owned it for 12 years and only put 4k on it, but, I don't think he did a damn thing to maintain it, and probably beat the hell outta it. After getting it home I gave it a quick tune up, plugs, (the spark plugs had spider eggs in there when I pulled them!) wires, fluid flush etc. Then took it out for its first ride. I took it out to a safe stretch of road and ran it a few times, until the head gasket blew up....
I couldn't do anything but laugh and call AAA. So, Its been in the shop for a week and im praying it doesn't become a money pit. I'm totally green with cars but very eager to learn and understand how to work on my own. These forums seem like there do me a lot of good.
So that's the story so far...
