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? :)

Your new combo GUY? :D

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.

I wish it was :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...

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:rolleyes: )

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!!!
 
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 :confused:. Good parts car :p
 
Hey Nelson, don't forget about the brotherly donation we talked about since I'm now a part of your family:D
 
Ronnie-D's Ride

Thanks for the kind words Rob! :D

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!!! ;)
