I've been reading and soaking up a lot of information on this site and now I'm happy to be a member. Yesterday, I had the good fortune to run across a one owner, 1987 GN with 11k miles on it. I was the first one to look at it so I snapped it up. Unfortunately, for personal reasons I won't be able to pick the car up until Tuesday so I'm just sitting here reading and jonesing for Tuesday to come around. I had the same car back in the 90s and always regretted selling it. I've had many muscle cars through the years (and I'm 67 now) but something very special happened every time I got behind the wheel of that GN and the feeling just couldn't be duplicated with any other car. I don't know how to explain it but you guys know what I'm talking about.
I have to say upfront that I've always been a fast car enthusiast but never a mechanic. This may not be the correct place to pose this question but someone on this forum mentioned a chip that would smooth out the cold starts, increase fuel economy and performance as well. I'm not sure if that's for real but I'd be interested to know what that chip might be. I'm not interested in racing the car so I don't want to do anything radical that might jeopardize the engine in any way. Except for a K&N filter and a few additional gauges, my car is 100% original and I'd like to keep it that way as much as possible. Like I said, I'm new to this site so if this post would be more appropriate in another area maybe someone can help me get it to the right place.
Thanks for listening
