Looks like I need an AC evaporator for 1986 GN. Any ideas on where to get one local in Canada or otherwise ? So far no luck in my searches. Tried kirban and Highway Stars

Hello everyone,
Not trying to start an oil thread. Just want to know what options i have for oils that have the zinc content that our motors require ? If I use synthetic oil is that ok instead of conventional oil with zync ?

Did you try putting a meter right on the battery and then turn key to see if voltage drops ?

Current chip is stock. everything is original. The car only has 30k Kilometers on it. Based on Steve's reply its sounds like I should buy the chip.

Hi everyone,
I have a 86 GN . Completely stock. Car runs mint no issues at all. This is just a Sunday driver for me. Is it worth buying a Turbo Tweak 5.7 Classic street Chip ? Will I notice any difference ?

Thanks I suspect its freezing judging by the amount of water I saw on the floor. I will get the Freon checked.

Yes yesterday as quite humid. I know there will be some water dripping under car when air is running but this was fairly substantial. Would low freon cause it to ice up ?

Hi Everyone,
My AC seems nice and cold although I will say after an hour of driving it seemed like it wasn't quite as cool. Parked car in garage. Came out an hour later and there was a large puddle of water under car and running out the front. Looks to be coming from passenger side . Is this normal or is something freezing up and then thawing when car is turned off ?

Anyone know anything about the quality of these rims ? Seller says exact replica of the originals. I am worried bot buying one and it doesn't match.

Well it looks like my problem is a damaged (out of round) rim on rear of car. My rear rims are 15x8 and fronts are 15x7.  I guess I need to find a 15x8 somewhere or two 15x7's
