1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 5 Speed on 2040-cars

Year:1992 Mileage:225000
Location:

United States

United States

Up for sale is a 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Z34 with a rare 5-speed manual transmission (Getrag 284). The car has about 225k miles on it, but the engine has only 120k miles on it. The transmission is original. This car has been my daily driver for years. I don’t have enough time to dedicate to this car and I’d like to find it a new home. I’m looking for someone within the Z34 or wbody community to buy this car and keep it going for years to come.

The car overall is in fair shape. It is a daily driver, but it could use some work (see “issues” below). I will also include various new parts I accumulated over the years that I never installed or never needed (such as a water pump and brake pads, although they are not needed).

Clear title. Cash buyer, in-person only. Car is located in Minneapolis MN.  Feel free to ask questions.

New Parts & Recent Work:

Brand new battery

Brand new ignition module

New starter

New rear struts

Newer rear brake lines, rotors, calipers, and pads

Timing belt (205k miles)

Clutch (155k miles)

Has NGK iridium plugs

Has cold air intake and cone filter

 

Issues:

-Shifting issues – it requires more force than usual to move the shifter to the left side to shift into 1st and 2nd. Each gear still works and there is no grinding. Both shifter linkage cables appear to be fine, so I assume it is an issue with the internal gear selector forks.

 

-Headlights (needs dimmer switch, which will be included but needs to be installed – in the meantime the high beams work)

 

-Parking brake (needs new cables and lever – have parts, just need to be installed)

 

-Needs new ABS sensors (I’ve been driving without them for years)

 

-Minor oil leak(s)

 

-Driver’s side door latch and lock (must remain unlocked in order to function properly – I have a replacement from a salvage yard that needs to be installed)

 

-Driver’s side power window (I have a new motor and regulator that need to be installed)

 

-A/C (not sure if it needs a Freon refill or a new compressor)

 

-Likely needs alignment

 

-Will need outer tie rods soon (have parts, just need to be installed)

 

-Trunk leaks small amount of water occasionally (have new weather stripping, just needs to be installed)

 

-Catalytic convertor rattles a bit, nothing significant.

 

-Head unit needs to be reinstalled (alpine CDA 7863 included)

 

-Rear speakers need to be reinstalled or aftermarket speakers with boxes can be hooked up to existing aftermarket wires)

 

-Rust forming over wheel wells and a couple other common areas

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
