hi im new to the site and wanted a lil help im looking at a couple of GNs to buy just cant make up my mind the first one i looked at was a 86 with all kinds of mods cam,bigger turbo,new heads,bigger inner cooler,chip ect well the original owner is locked up so theres no way to talk to him the car runs and drives but i think its too much for me because i dont really know a whole about these cars i use to own a 84 t-type but it was a big project!!! the second one im looking at is a 84 all og motor with almost 72k on it it needs a lil tlc paint, interior but notting major runs and drives beautiful!!! i know the 86-87 have the turbo in front of the engine and are better than the (hot air) but i been wanting one of these cars since i was younger

those are pics from the 86 everthing is new when the guy took me for a test drive it ran perfect till he smashed the gas when it would make about 4/5pounds of boost it hesitate and even die it would run fine till you would floor it same thing evertime

Get the 86 what you describe it doing shouldn't be hard to diagnose and fix I've ha two hot airs and my 86 that I have now wouldnt do another hot air car if my life depended on it go with the 86 just my opinion
