    And has anyone ever ordered a re-covered wheel from ebay seller "1joe208" or is there a board sponsor that I can buy from?

    not going into 'park' steering column broken?

    So I got under the car and was able to put it into park and everything stays so the issue is just an adjustment. Thanks for all the help. Next it’s on to replacing the column, and I guess getting the steering wheel re-covered. Is there anything else I should take care of while replacing the...

    not going into 'park' steering column broken?

    I'll go check that in just a few, I think that may be the issue. When the indicator is in 'N' the car is in Drive, so i'd imagine thats the issue. I haven't crawled under this car yet, where exactly should I look for the linkage?

    not going into 'park' steering column broken?

    Maybe i was unclear, the car goes into part and i can remove the key. The issue is once in park the car will still roll. It was fine before i started pulling at that 'bar' to make some room for the indicator cable. I can still start the car, drive it forward and in reverse, its just when i put...

    not going into 'park' steering column broken?

    I recently got the GN running, and I was preparing to install the stedfast column guard. The car was broken into and the column and indicator are broken. In replacing the turn signal stalk i had was wiggling everything around trying to re-run the wire, and i tried to move a small "bar" out of...

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    First let me say thanks for all the help, I really appreciate the advice and guidance. The issue was a worn timing sprockets, which due to my lack of time I’m having fixed. Hopefully by the end of the week I’ll have the GN out and running, this waiting sucks!

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    Two other points that may help When I had the cam sensor cap off I turned the engine by hand and the metal “dish” didn’t turn smoothly. As I rotated the motor the dish would jump rather than sweep. I’m not moving the motor very much but I’m sure that the dish was not moving smoothly and...

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    At the start of last Saturday it was fully charged and cranking strong, but at the end of the day it was clicking a bit. I put the battery the trickle charge and now its charged and ready to go. Previous owner claim it ran when parked? The PO said that he drove it home from work, then the...

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    I have replaced the plugs and plug wires. I’ve also pulled the plugs and made sure they were all firing. Cranking with cam sensor unplugged is on my list for Sat

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    It is backfiring and white smoke is coming out of the intake. I have checked the wires a few times and I am rather sure they are in the correct order, getting spark and properly seated. As for the cam sensor 180 backwards; I doubt it? I pulled the first plug and I could feel air come out as...

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    Thanks for the replies, its been a crazy 4 months and i've just recently had a change to get back to the GN. I set the harmonic balancer to 25 ATDC, then adjusted the cam sensor until the voltage dropped from 6.8ish to .02ish. The car cranked the same as it did previous with not change. After...

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    Thanks for the quick replies, i'll check the cam sensor tomorrow morning. It had been sitting for about 3 years, but the gas was drained. It has fresh gas, new fuel filter and the hot wire fuel pump kit. Is the smoke not something I should be concerned about?

    Cranks but won't start + smoke from turbo

    I just picked up a non-running GN as a project. I've been reading everything I can and this forum seems a wealth of information, but i can't figure out where to go next. I've gone through the No-Start chart from GNTtype but it is advising to see "Diagnostic aids on facing page", what exactly...
