4/6/2023 0 Comments Chevy lumina z34I have had a 1993 Z34 Lumina for about 4 years. I know, I'm crazy, but I love the looks and feel of this car. The car's paint is showing its age (spider cracks under the clearcoat), so I'm having it repainted stock white with red camaro style racing stripes. Since I've spent so much money on this car so far, I've decided to keep it since a new car would cost many, many, more thousands of dollars. The car runs great now (it should!) and feels good to drive. Counting my $2200 purchase price I've spent about $6,000+ on this car. Turned out the vacuum nipple on trans was leaking, and once fixed it drops into drive or reverse very smoothly. The car shifted hard going from park to drive or reverse. That repair was a cheap $100 which surprised me. It turned out a vacuum canister in the dash was leaking and was the culprit for the cruise and air vent issue. The cruise control would not hold speed, air vents would cut off when accelerating with a/c on. I replaced all the upper oil seals and valve cover seals. The timing belt broke once, a local mechanic fixed it and it had no valve or head damage as a result. I replaced the ABS sensor drum on the right rear for $800, replaced ABS master pump for another $800. I was told it was the result of sticky caliper slides common to this model and year. To date, I have spent about $2K just on brake replacements that include rotor replacements (twice), pads where the inside wears and the outside does not (twice). I have owned my 1993 white Lumina Z34 automatic for 3 years.
