I did it!

[Cale22]

Hey everyone,

I don't know if any of you remember, but I had sold my 87 GN for financial reasons that I thought were more important. I've been working A LOT lately, and I just sold my car last week (i made profit!) and I now have enough to buy another GN! I think finding one for sale in hawaii would be pretty hard, so I guess I'll look on the west coast. Any of you ever buy off e-bay? Any suggestions? Im looking for an 86/87 GN, or a WE4 would be sweet! Any help would be great!

Hmm.. so I've been looking around e-bay/turbo trader, and Im pretty confused as I don't know too much about modifying TR's. I don't know how the injectors work in these cars, I know in TD's +53lbs injectors are for street/strip application. If I'm looking for a car that can be driven a lot on the street, and also have some drag power, what kind of mods should I be looking for? I figure, if I buy a car that has some mods done, I will be saving money as people always sell their cars cheaper than what they put into it. Can anyone offer me some suggestions?

Cale

Your new combo GUY?

Cale......

Spend some time searching on the general tech sec. or gnttype.org, everything you need to know is there.

The mods you want to do depends on $$$ and how fast you want to go.

Not a Blue one, I hope.....


Still some UNFINISHED business.....

 

[TurboJohn]

Still thinking about selling it. But also thinking of running this weekend.

 

[Ronnie-D]

Might wanna sell U mine...

Cale,

I was thinking of selling my 87 GN before I leave the island in two years, but if you're interested now, I might be convinced to part with it sooner...crying all the way, I'm sure.

It has a lot of the mods you're looking for, as well as new paint, radiator, starter, alternator, brakes, tires, interior and a whole lot more (see below). It's a great daily driver (95,000 miles), but definitely has track potential.

Drop a me line, & I'll send all the stats and some photos. No hurry, I'm not going anywhere for at least 18 months...

Got one 87 GN in the Advertiser this morning for $6000. 65k miles, second owner.

 

[Cale22]

Anyone check it out yet? I keep getting the machine.

Cale the carless wonder

 

[HI85WH1]

For those of you who have not seen Ronnie's car, it is a really nice ride. Gotta love the GNX flares too! Having just bought the Harley, another Car purchase is almost out of the question. Almost, BTW, Ron, dare I ask how much? (I could sell the Monte )

[Carey 86gn]

did anyone call the guy in the star bulletin? 87 t-type $2500

 

[84tt]

Needs alot of work from what my friend told me!
Something like it only builds 6 psi, has a cracked header?
Has rust in all the usual places
oil leak , maybe smoking
interior ok
AC no work
Tranny shifts a little soft
Sounded like the guy will take a best offer!!
Maybe $1000-1500!!!

 

[TURBOV6]

Nelson (OLD SCHOOL) put a downpayment on it and said he might part it out mayve because of the condition, must be not too bad . Good parts car

 

[N2ORBT]

Hey Nelson, don't forget about the brotherly donation we talked about since I'm now a part of your family

Ronnie-D's Ride

Thanks for the kind words Rob!

My baby's filthy right now. It rains so damn much in Kailua right now, I can't get out and polish her up.

I paid $13,000 two years ago, and have a couple grand in work. Lots of new mechanical stuff, and some interior work.

I was hoping to get back the original $13k, but I'll work with anyone in the group...

Wife says if I don't get a reasonable offer, I HAVE to keep it...I was thinking "reasonable" should be up around $50,000!!!
