i dont have the JG1 rpo code, however i do have the RP6 code..

92GTA states:

R6P - (19??-1990) CONTROL, SALES ITEM NO. 15,
(1991-1992) PERFORMANCE PACKAGE, G92, N10, J65, KC4

In your case it would be the 91-92 definition. See G92 is also a package winthin it's self too. You have R6P Performance Package which should include G92 which was MANDATORY with the R6P option and that is what should have given you JG1 aluminum driveshaft, BUT since they were all out of JG1's the day your car was made, your car has R6P without G92 which had JG1 because they can't very well put an option code on your SPI label for a part that they don't have to put on your car so they bent the rules which they had to do since they did not have the part.


anybody have any other input / comments??

 

because

 

what a quick response!!

thats what 92GTA thinks, because they didnt have any to put on my car!

i dont really care too much, because i already put the one from my 88 camaro on it..

 

I can only assume that they were out of JG1's because otherwise if your car has R6P it should have G92 which would give you JG1. I can't think of any other explaination. Can anyone else?

I also assume this because Pontiac has a record of running out of parts every now and then in the last couple of years like running out of TPI throttle body plates, F-Body TPI runners, silver valve covers, leather shift handles, just to name a few....

 

i didnt even pay attention to stuff like that when i bought the car!!

anything on the rpo code sheet that would explain that, i never ran everything..

 

It's interesting too because your car has 4-wheel disk and you'd think that maybe they would have just removed R6P from your car comepletly except for the fact that it's an L98 car so it has to have R6P. I just think it makes your car ever more unique on top of having L98/CC1 the 1 year that it was not publicized as those options being avilable together. Does it help the value of your car now or in the long run, I don't think so but it's kinda cool

 

its cool i guess!! doesnt matter about value!!

because i am never getting rid of it

 

That's the additude to have If only all F-Body owners felt the way we do then the value of our cars would skyrocket because you wouldn't be able to find one for sale anywhere

 

i actual want to buy another thirdgen soon..

i have quite a bit saved up..

 

i found another one just like mine, however higher mileage and a price more than i paided for mine isnt going to fly.....

its been for sale for at least 5 months..

 

Pretty butt ugly in white if you ask me, in that picture anyway. Also he doesn't list a VIN so it might be a 305 or a 350 with aftermarket T's. Dude, it is VERY rare to find a 350/T-Top 91 Formy, allot more rare than a 92 350/T-Top Formy. Atleast in terms of finding them available...

Wait, that is a 92, my bad You said like yours so I assumed without reading it that it was a 91...

 

from the looks of that pic, it has t-tops and the gta/trans rims..

but you never know...

 

Exactly, that why I'd NEVER buy a car that's not a beater or a parts car without a VIN matching SPI label unless I have a PHS workup done to verify it.

 

thats a good point, i think i am becoming a more informative buyer now.. after buying three thirdgen's my confidence is growing..

i get a better one ever time

1988 iroc-z camaro 5.7
88 formula 350

my 91 i have now..

 

Hey and the best part is your taste is getting better too, from a Camaro to a Firebird to the 91/92 body style

 

hehe no comment.







i like camaro's also..

 

On the flipside, why did my car come w/ JG1???? I think because my car was a '92 and they had a lot of parts that they needed to get rid of, because my '92 F41 suspension, LB9, 4L60, 2.73 rear drum axle 'vert came w/ JG1...

 

thats cool!!
i guess its an opition by itself maybe..

 

Hate to be the bearer of bad news... BUT... R6P has nothing to do with JG1. They aren't related.

R6P is basically the Firebird equivelent of G92. I've yet to see a 91-92 Firebird with G92 on the RPO sheet. R6P is automatically applied when an L98 is selected. It included 4 wheel discs, oil cooler, posi, dual cats, etc. The typical options that were put on every 91-92 L98 Firebird.

JG1 is solely an aluminum driveshaft.

R6P did not include G92 in any of my literature for 1991. I would assume that 1992 is the same unless someone can show me a GM document that says otherwise.

 

Forgot to mention... R6P/L98 firebirds also are all 3:23 geared cars.

Since your car is a 91, I would tend to think the information I have is accurate for your specific car. There is a TON of information for 1991's out there.

 

My TA is an R6P (originally an LB9/5spd) and doesn't have an aluminum driveshaft.

 

Drew, actually I do have information showing otherwise for 92. I'll dig it up and post it. It shows that G92 was included with R6P. Maybe it was a typo in the lit but it still says it. I'll post back when I find it.

 

I might have to dig out my brochures and my press kit. Nothing I've ever read or any of the cars I've seen, have indicated that JG1 is mandatory on any thirdgen. Every car I've seen that had the aluminum shaft had JG1 on the SPID.

 

Ok, I have a Pontiac press kit from 1992 that states:

"Performance Enhancement Group Incl: Dual Converter Exhaust, 4 Whl Disc Brks, Performance Axle Ratio & Engine Oil Cooler"

Now when ever I hear "Performance Axle Ratio" I automatically think of G92, and I have some other lit from 89 or so saying that JG1 Aluminum Propshaft was included with G92. So I guess then maybe I got confused since G92 was replaced with R6P in the last couple of years I assumed that G92 was merged into the R6P option and that is why his car should have JG1.

Still though, I've never seen a 91-92 350 car wihtout JG1, what gives on his car?

 

My 91 Formula doesn't have JG1, neither does the 92 Heritage Z that a local guy has.

JG1 seems to be dumped into cars for no regular reason...

 

thanks for clearing this subject up guys!!!

 

My '91 L98 Formula didn't have JG1.

My '92 L98 GTA does have it.

So was the aluminum driveshaft just a regular option? I would think its a little strange to have it be just an option all by itself. What are the odds someone buying a car would say, "oh, I'll check off that driveshaft, just gotta have aluminum!"

Just curious.

 

Weird because my 91 LB9 GTA had it and my 92 LB9 GTA has it. I can also tell you that it was NOT an option on the window sticker that someone payed extra for, it was included standard...

 

92GTA...

Exclude Me from that JG1 list for my L98 w/RP6

Mike

 

You mean you don't have JG1 either in your GTA??? Now I'm really confused. I was sure that atleast all the 91-92 GTA's had it....

 

Geez. My 92 GTA doesn't have JG1 either. I was pissed when I found that out.
Been out hunting for one.

 

i started a trend!!

 

Well im not an expert on the subjext but why not buy this driveshaft and put it there.

 

i did, from my 1988 camaro; i as stated on my second post.

 

SCANIA: Some of us want to stick strictly to the SPID

 

mine has a jg1 and its only a 305 5pd and no g92 option. i'm pretty sure that it was a seperate option that needed to be ordered. i think that option code and shaft did get added automatically with the 1le though.
