quite the humerous find at the junkyard........

......while getting the turn signal switch from a 91 euro*, i saw a tape, yes, a tape on the floor board.

great condition! the tape itself needs cleaned, a little muffling on the audio, thats it! it talks about the power train, features, and suspensions from the base up to the z34. i have yet to listen to side 2.

 

*- damn switch still doesn't work right! still have to hold it either down or up. i think the whole section from the firewall to the steering wheel needs replaced! the clickity switch part(s) that the signal stalk hits for the high and low beams is busted, stuck on low. fubar'ed i say!

i actually have the cassette audio for a '91 Grand Prix STE in .mp3 format

 

it sounds like the brass contacts in your turn signal switch need to be cleaned and/or bent outwards for better contact.

I have the orginal one from my old '92 still in the plastic wrapping.

 

I don't know how the owner could've have listened to it, because it was optioned with a Bose radio.

for the switch, that 91's stalk felt firm and stuck in place better than mine does. rough for a car to get old.......

Always buy NEW signal light switches. They are a common thing to wear out on w-bodys. On my 88' GP I had mine replaced, but then I went and put a whole other column in it (I wanted one with radio buttons). Then the switch wore out on that one, so I had to "retrofit" the one from my old column to work, knowing that I would lose use of the radio buttons.

 

The one on my 95 was worn out when i bought the car, so that was like $130 or something for a new one, but at least I don't have to worry about it.

I've got the casette for my 92 GP. Its got that old 80's-sih sythesizer music and makes the car sound like its gold.

I had the same question with my old Euro3.4....it came with a tape, but had a factory CD deck :?

[Crimson Fury Z]

the high/low that is fragged is the button that the stalk hits. try putting that tape in the cd player?

Josh, I think you got that MP3 from me, when I found the STE tape in the junkyard.

[mfewtrail]

I have the tapes for my SE and TGP, I've never bothered listening to them though.

[White93z34]

i remeber listening to one from a old cavvy. sweet synth music. and sure made a 1992 cavvy sound like a pot o gold.

[Donutboy97]

ha ha, they have a tape on radio controls. If you don't know how your radio works how are you going to play the tape

[Crimson Fury Z]

i can just picture someone w/ a tape and an "oh, crap!" look not knowing what to do look!

[EurosportZ34]

[GP1138]

If you get a 404, give it around 5 minutes, I'm uploading them as we speak. Dig the corny synth music on side 2.
