Hello everyone,
I'm Justin.
New 87 GN owner.
I have read a lot about the car, it's internals as well as understand the general principles in it's mechanics.
Since I've had it, I drive the car casually and only give it the juice every once in a while.
I did notice though, that when I let go of the gas after "giving it some turbo", I get a kind of percolator coffee machine sound.
It almost sounds like it's coming from under the hood closest to the drivers side.
Is this the knock sensor?
It's all stock save for the exhaust, and some really brutal wiring issues left by the previous owner.
Other than that, the car runs really well, and has been looked over by three separate good mechanics that say the car is sound.
Their experience with turbos not-withstanding, I am still skeptical. I have held off driving it until I know my engine wont explode.
Sadly, my scanmaster has not arrived yet.
Thanks in advance.
Justin
Oh, and here it is on it's first day home.
(Yes I have since changed the tires and rims to their original glory.)
