Q: Buick Grand National Production Numbers?????
Can anyone tell me how many Buick Grand Nationals came with T-TOPS? I can find production numbers for how many G/N’s were built, but nothing more specific. Any sites I should check?? I own an 86 with t-tops and i was told its a rarity. Especially since it reduces structual integrity when used for racing purposes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
A: Get in touch with Kirban Performance. They have the numbers on all the information. GNs are there thing.
Q: Buick Grand National vacuum brake conversion questions.?
I recently changed my ‘87 Buick ” T ” over to vacuum brakes, I used a set-up off an ‘86 Caprice 10 3/4″ booster w/master cyl. All the parts bolted up ok but I had to drill and tap the intake plenum in order to get 16.5-17″ vacuum. The pedal is pushed all the way back to it’s limit installed. Pedal seems Stiff to push, and is Hard then goes down off panic stops. Will not even lock up front brakes on hard stops. This set-up does not work much better than the Powermaster. Whats going on here???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kcuster57@aol.com
A: It sounds like the vaccumn canister is not holding vaccumn.( weak or cracked diaphraim) Also did the swap come with a regulator valve (porposting) to set rear and front psi? Make double sure the system is bled well.. In addition the master cylcinder has a shuttle rod that must be centered up in order to porposition the fluid front and rear.Have a fun day and good luck.
Q: I just got a 84 Buick Grand National. Whats the differece between it and the 87. I know the 87 is intercooled.?
I was wanting to race it. I am getting a bigger turbo and building the short block. Wanted to know if heads were the same, the block same strength. I read some people used all stock parts besides turbo, piston, and fuel system, and ran 9s in the quarter. thanks
A: The 87 has an intercooled turbo.
Q: What car did Shaft drive in the remake?
What was the grey car Samuel L. Jackson drove in “Shaft”? It was like a Pontiac Grand-Prix, or a Buick Grand National, but I think it had SS badges on the side..? Was it a Chevvy, or a Buick?
I’m in England, used to have a Pontiac Grand Prix, want one of those big Fisher-bodied coupes again!
A: Monte- Carlo SS.
Q: transmition?
I only want to know what type of transmition use a buick grand national…
A: They came with automatic transmissions, but you could get a 5 speed standard if you wanted it bad enough
Q: Chemistry Problem?
The Buick Grand National, which was introduced in the mid 1980’s, was a real hit with performance car enthusiasts who were suffering withdrawal symptoms from their 60’s muscle cars due to the gas crunch and parenthood! Luckily the Grand National took care of both problems. Large enough for a family of 5 (car seats and all), and with a turbo-charged 3.8L V6, this black beauty (black was the only color option) catapulted down the drag strip turning quarter mile times around 13.80 seconds. With all of this going for it, the GN was a moderate gas consumer as well, getting about 25 mpg.
Assuming that the gasoline used is 100% octane (C8H18) and that the combustion of octane inside of the engine is complete, how many kilograms of oxygen will be consumed if a person were to drive their Grand National on a 1112 mile trip?
The density of octane is 0.703 g/mL
A: 2 C8H18 + 25 O2 —–> 16 CO2 + 18 H2O
mw C8H18 = 114.3 g/mole
1112 mi x ( 1 gal / 25 mi) x (1000 L / 264.17 gal) x (1000 ml / L) x (0.703 g / ml) x (1 mole C8H18 / 114.3 g C8H18) x (25 moles O2 / 2 moles C8H18) x (32.0 g O2 / mole O2) = 4.14 x 10^5 g O2
= 414 kg O2

do you need help understanding what I did here?
Q: Choosing a project show/race car?
Hello there. I am a truck boy, with my whole family driving trucks. I have always liked cars anyhow.
Me and my dad are looking for a little project to do. I am looking for a used car that can look nice (body kits, lambo doors ect).
This will be summer driven and a show case car, and may be taken on the track near my house for Sunday racing. So what I need like I said above is a car that is fast and looks wicked. Cars I thought of are..
Ford Mustang [('99 and newer) I hate the 5.0!!!]
Pontiac Trans Am
Buick Grand National
Chevy Camaro
Pontiac G6/Grand Prix
Mitsubishi 3000/eagle talon
Mitsubishi Lancer/Evo
Mitsubishi Eclipse
** Your car thoughts are accepted aswell, I am open to mostly all cars that can go fast.
I am not looking to do drag with it, more of circuit racing.
I have approx 10 Grand at the moment, And I am no life’ing my work in the summer so I am expecting another 5 000.
Insurance, gas, mods are not an issue at the moment. I have a ‘first car’ already so I am looking for a good summer show car.
A: If you prefer American I would suggest the Mustang, Camaro or Trans Am, all of which are fast, have a lot of aftermarket parts and a lot of potential to go much faster.
But personally I am more into imports, and know a lot more about them. Out of your choices that are imports, I would suggest the Lancer Evolution. It is pretty damn fast to begin with, and has a great platform to add more power to. If you choose and Eclipse I would go with the late 90’s GST or GSX version, which have the turbo 4 cylinder motor. These cars have a ton of potential for both engine mod’s and exterior modifications. The downside to the GST is that it is FWD, so you are somewhat limited to the power output and handling. The GSX has the same turbo motor but offers AWD.
Here are a couple cars that are not on your list that I would suggest that are all good starting points for a both flashy and fast sports car project.
My number 1 choice due to the variety of options, and overall potential as drag/drift/race or showcar goes is the 240SX
Nissan 240SX (this RWD car has a ton of potential, the parts available for it are endless! There are a ton of engines that can fit into this car including the popular SR20DET motor which is an easy swap and pretty affordable when it comes to engine swaps. This motor is pretty fast to begin with, and can be modified to 800+ HP!! The turbo and twinturbo motors from the Nissan Skyline can also fit into this car! The rear wheel drive platform combined with the weight and handling make this one of the ultimate drift cars. There are also many body mod’s available to make it look like anything from a sleek sleeper to a straight up Fast and Furious ride)
Acura Integra GSR (This car along with the Eclipse GST, is probably the best FWD tuning car out there. It loves to rev high, can be internally beefed up, or turbocharged, handles very well for FWD, and has tons of body mods available)
Toyota Supra
Mazda RX7- Both this and the Supra are great RWD sports cars that can easily be modified to the 500-1000HP range!
Honda S2000- Great little RWD sports car, what it may low end power, it makes up in high rev fun! It handles like a dream!
Mazda mazdaspeed Miata- Similar description as the S2000, not the highest horsepower car, but has such great handling that it can keep up with cars with triple the horsepower on a twisty course. The mazdaspeed version comes with a turbocharger, sport suspension and lip kit to make it peppier, handle better, and more eye appealing.
Q: what should i do in this situation?
hi, im in a pickle, im getting my license soon , about a week. i need some input on a vehicle. my parents said i can use the 03 nissan frontier that we have for my needs. school and work. but i have always wanted to restore an old car, take that back i mean restore it to driving condition, like take care of the engine and rust and drive it around like joe dirt and his superbird. but that is going to take a lot of money and im gonna be a senior next year and i only have a grand saved up and to get a good running and driving var like a plymouth satellite or ford galaxie you need at least 5 grand. but ive always wanted a 92-98 ford f250 or 350 powerstroke truck, they are cheap and fun! i could also do minor restroration to as there may me some interior or rust or something that could be done to make it nice to get my feet wet in the restoration field as i work at a mechanics shop and may after hours have some access to tools. but when i graduate im going into the coast guard or air force and i feel as i may not have time for a mild restoration that may end up being have done. not to mention i will be in a rotc program and be in college before my service, and if i like it in the military then i will extend my stay, and any money i earn there could be put towards a car worth restoring or one already restored, i mean a charger rt car that needs restoration can easily go for 15k. i have also considered investing all or most money i earn so when i get out i will hopefully have a asset. but i will still have a reliable 7.3 powerstroke to drive into the ground if needed, plus i like to go off roading and a muscle car is not for that. i also live in the country so parking is not an issue. i have also considered late model muscle like buick regals and grand nationals but they are as expensive as a good parts car to restore, and camaros.mustangs, everyones got em. so no im considering a malibu instead of the chevelle or cutlass instead of a 442 cuz there cheaper but i still can enjoy them the same
A: First of all I want to commend you for going into the military and supporting this country! I strongly recommend you take your parents gratuity and wait until you are out of the military and have time to devote to a car. The worst thing you can do to a car/truck and especially diesel is let it sit and whatever you buy will be doing just that for possibly months at a time, and you really wont need it on base because personal vehicles arent allowed very often until you are a higher rank.
You seem to be a pretty sharp kid, invest a big portion of your paychecks and save the rest to buy a nice fixer-upper when you retire.
Q: Should i get a truck or a car?
i am 16and have a learners permit and will be getting a provisional next month. currently i have a job at a mechanics shop and am getting a little experience with the tools of the trade, i do not plan on making a living as a mechanic just a temporary job as cars is a hobby. me and my uncle were going to restore a classic car for me but he has passed on and i am still sticking to it. with the economy and even my wallet obviously i cant afford a dodge charger or chevelle ss even if it needs to be restored. i want it to be a daily driver with some muscle, i will be driving to work and school, and the when high schools done im going into the coast guard, so it will go in storage. im not looking to restore to showroom or restore to sell, just get all body work and rust, adecent painjob and an engine redo if needed i want a small block v8 for better gas, i dont need that 440 6 pack, like i said it will be a daily driver. im looking at the plymouth dusters, buick skylarks with the 350 2bbl, and the 63-64 ford galaxys, or the 84-87 regal t types. grand nationals, being a daily driver that can handle a little beating i wouldnt mind going for the satellite instead or the gtx or cutlass instead of the 442. my parents have a third vehicle they offered to me, a nissa frontier 2003, which i can use for the time being, i have also always wanted a 1994-98 ford f250 or 350 powerstroke truck which can be had for under 6 grand, my parents said i could sell the nissan which we found to be worth around 7-8 grand and buy a dodge cummins or ford powerstroke truck. i would not sell the truck for money for a car because we still need a truck. so should i get a classic car, maybe i could get a great deal on a charger or cuda that someone needs some quick cash but thats unlikely, and i keep my eyes peeled on hemmigs, or should i get a truck? im kinda leaning towards a car because there still is a truck if needed and i can always get a powerstroke or cummins for under 10k with decent mileage
A: trucks are a mans best friend…. there is always a time where will eventually need one so its a smart choice but also u can get one later after you save seeing that you prob wont need a truck real soon.
if you are looking for a really nice classic car look for a 1972 dodge charger. its beast
