So You Want a Mitsubishi 3000GT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2019
- What is considered by many to be one of the most underrated JDM cars to come out of the ’90s. Even though it had a short run the Mitsubishi 3000GT had a huge impact on the Japanese tuner scene. And although they were pretty popular back in the day, we unfortunately don’t see or even hear about them much anymore. Powered by the 3.0 V6 VR-4 paired with active aero that was completely ahead of its time, AND four-wheel steering the Mitsubishi 3000GT is one of those cars that deserves some more recognition. Tody Alex dives in deep into a little bit of the history and legend surround Mitsubishi’s top dog of the 1990s. Let us know what car you would like us to cover next down in the comments below!

What did you do to your hair
Hi there, it's me Jeff Vlogs, I really appreciate for what u did there guys. In future I'll make more vids abt 3kgt. Let the world see abt 3kgts from ur channel, that it still amazingly lives, even in Dubai sands. Mr. Aaref (SMS570X) is the main guy for 3kgt all over Dubai. Support us always.
Much love & God Bless you all.
Japan in the 90s was a wonderland. Anime, video games, cars. We didn't deserve it.
lol
That's what happens when you nuke a country twice...
If there was only some way to replicate that success with another country.
My burning desire to travel to Japan developed when I was 5 years old. That would have been in 1989. It was greatly influenced by video games from Nintendo and cars from Nissan. Other things appeared that made me want to go there even more.
I became fascinated with what was and wasn't sold in the USA since the late 1990s. Using search engines which were popular before Google led to interesting results. We could see bits and pieces of things that were translated differently, but never the whole story. I also read that the Nissan 240SX had a 2.0L turbo engine in Japan, and I refused to believe it.
I had some friends who were huge otaku, so I had an idea. I said "If we ever get to go to Japan, let's bring back a genuine school uniform as proof of the trip."
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS wow....way to go off topic and be completely wrong at the same time. You must be fun at parties.
@@shadyshinichi2JZ that was a more successful response than I was anticipating.

@@tokyotopp thanks for replying man.
Preach! As an owner of a built 92 VR4 I garentee you most people who talk about these cars know nothing of the platform. I'll defend it to the grave. Biggest problem with these cars is misinformation and similarly to DSM guys terrible previous owners who are youtube certified. Also they are not DSM's all 3k/stealth/GTO were built in nagoya japan. More info in comments.
Edit: If anything is challenging, its the interior.
I'm an original owner of an Evolution and feel your pain. Discussing the car can be terribly frustrating. UA-cam doesn't help.
Okay, I got a question. The 3000gt was criticized (and still is) for being such a heavy car and having not much room in the engine bay for owners work to on its engine. Moreover, it has a transverse engine configuration, which is such a weird setup for a supposedly performance halo car.
In your honest opinion, is swapping the current engine with an LS4 a feasible move to solve such problems? Is a 3000gt with a transverse V8/front wheel drive build a sound suggestion? After all, a lot of the weight in the 3000gt comes from its AWD system. What's your take on take?
I'm sorry for posing such a weird question. I don't mean to offend you if you have a purist belief on how a Japanese car should always be (that is, it should not have an american engine), but I had this question gnawing at the back of my mind for such a long time, now.
Here's some more info to help you with that;

I actually didn't know that, I knew they weren't dsm, but the stealth was like the Dodge version of it, so thanks for the info. I should've known that, I own a GSX
If you think that’s bad trying owning anything with a rotary engine. Misinformation out the ass, even from current owners.
Id like to get a gto but i have a bunch of cars already. Just no more room. The prices on them are freaking amazing.
Most underrated 90s car it looks like a NSX, ferrari,lambo kind of thing and nobody values them
I wish nobody valued them, then maybe the damn price would drop lol I'd buy another one then
And digital climate control in 1991?! That was insane to me. My 2013 model doesn't even have the same features
I own a red 94 and some kid asked me if it was a ferrari lol... I thought he was joking so a laughed, but he didn't laugh he just stood there waiting... So when i told him "its a mitsubishi" his face dropped and walked off lol
@@kylemilford8758 I know right? My 93 had that and a stock radio that actually had an auxiliary input jack plus a CD changer in the trunk area. It was my favorite car definitely a head turner
Again, watch the video and read the comments, looks at how unreliable these things are especially now.
So you want a "so you want a Toyota Celica" video.... Hellz yeah I do!!!!!!!!. Come on fitment guys do me a solid..

It's so sad that I actually had a broke 3000gt next to my broke eclipse🤣🤣🤣
I have a broke, but running 3000gt as well. atleast the eclipse still works . lol. Soon it will be unbroke. Just need to torque an axle nut once my '91 vr4 stoptech rotors and braided stainless steel brake lines come in. (it had a clutch change and full front suspension re-build and a vr4 big-brake upgrade done to it) its a 94 sl.
Same I got a 96 eagle talon not an eclipse but close enough lmao and the 3k needs valve seals so does the talon
I have an eclipse (gs) maybe I need to find a cheap talon and switch the engine cause I blew mine :/
As an owner of a 93 3s vr4 and 95 TSI AWD that are both currently in pieces that comment hit me hard, lol. However in their defense, the vr4 is actually in pieces bc of accident damage, and the DSM only actually needed a new brake booster...which turned into doing a whole bunch of upgrades...Sadly I haven't had much time and energy for a while and both have just been sitting, that and other stuff keeps taking priority...
I'm the 100th like!
I did my work experience in a Mitsubishi dealership, at the time the 3000GT had just received its face-lift.
A blue press car had just came in, speedometer decided it didn't want to do it's job, so of course we had to road test it once the work was done.
My God that was a fast ride, seeing heads turn anywhere we went was great fun.
I love my '93 VR4! It's mint, less than 60k mileage and all of the electronic wizardry still work as designed! The car also responds very well to bolt-ons and will run 12s quite easily. There's not a huge aftermarket, but anything you want to do has already been done and parts are not yet that hard to come by.
I own a 91 vr4 rn, besides being messed up, and needing a lot of work she is worth it
uhhhhhhh i respectfully disagree !
i got a base 93 and within 7 months 3rd gear went out but i still love the thing ugh
I sadly sold my 92 to fix my comamche. Loved the car but i needed something that didn’t constantly have to fix
I was lucky to get a 91 even though it's given me a lot of problems and even though it's stock for now I love that car and would never sell it I'm glad I just got I running again after switching the dash out but sooner or later it will look and hopefully drive nice and smooth to use as my weekend car to take my wife out for dinner ❤
@@pedromata133 haha or the racetrack
I have owned 2 3000gts. My first one was a clean 95 sl with 80k miles on it I bought when I was 15 after saving all of my money up and then I bought a pretty clean 93 vr4 when I was 17 with only 74k on it for only 4k even though I had to put a couple more grand into it. Still have it and yes I agree they are funky haha it’s honestly an intense love hate relationship. Absolutely beautiful and fun car when everything is working correctly but can be a nightmare if they were shown any neglect! It takes the right kind of person to appreciate them
What the the most common problems you had with it? any preventative maintenance, what to look for when buying one? Im currently deciding on one!
Jesse I’m a 3000GT owned as well a couple things I recommend is check your rack and pinion from personal experience I got mine and a day later I put it on a lift to find out it’s completely blown out barely holding on so I’d check that also if you get any of them older than 1996 get ready to learn how to read your error codes from your obd 1 port with a multimeter there’s videos on how to do it also another thing the all wheel drive models so the VR-4 have a tendency to destroy their rear differential if it doesn’t have its regular maintenance done so when you’re test driving make sure there is no grinding from the rear diff or metal clacking sounds and immediately service your diff as soon as you get it home if you get the VR-4 also this applies to any car with a timing belt check the timing belt when you’re looking at the car if I remember correctly it’s two 10mm bolts that hold on the upper front cover and you can pull it off and look at it if it looks good then you’re golden man enjoy your amazing badass Mitsubishi 3000gt VR-4 that will smoke a Supra from the same age stock vs stock
My dad has a 3kGT vr-4, we maintain it very well, and only take it out occasionally, but when we do we beat the shit out of it. It only has 80k miles cause it wasn’t running for ten years cause we never had time or money to fix it. It was no major engine failure, just the crank sensor went out, but it was a pain in the ass to fix. It’s been running strong for years, although the active aero, and sport/ tour suspension doesn’t work, but it doesn’t need to to have fun :)
I’ve got a 3000gt, and the oil gauge stopped working, I checked if there was oil, there was, No oil light as well. Could this be a pressure issue or the gauge is broke?
No way in hell you get a VR4 with 4k.
Nice to see new videos about 3000GT. I recently bought '98 VR-4 in very good condition: everything works (ECS, AWS, Active aero, A/C, even motorized antenna). These cars can live long if you take care of them.
The 98' VR-4 is the Rarest Year. Show us! Or I don't believe you ;)
@@johntore6108 Actually, recently my car was reviewed. I'm from Russia, so the video is on Russian, here's the link ua-cam.com/video/gLDheI1UFk4/v-deo.html
My VR-4 is from Germany
the last years for ECS and Active aero was 1996, and only if your chassi says z16a you had AWS which is all mitsubishis except stealths.
@@redteggy I thought the same before bought mine) but apparently Mitsubishi still was offering trims with all features for Europe market until 3rd gen. It is z16a chassis and online info by VIN says that it is in fact a '98.
@@johntore6108 99 VR-4s are the rarest but I have yet to see a 98 VR-4
Ahahahahah I knew it😂❤️❤️ Thanks soo much guys I’ve been waiting for soo long, much appreciated ❤️❤️
This guy literally commented on every video asking for this😂 sick cars
Right I think all of us 3000gt owners where waiting
I'm planning on buying one 😍
I'm looking at one for sale in town right now, perfect timing thank you so much
My opinion is. The VR4 is becoming a rare and more harder car to obtain. And for that. They are becoming more expensive and more desirable. And since it wasn't known alot like other Japanese legends. Now people are getting curious about the car and about its looks. In other words the car is just GREAT!
HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS PLANNING TO BUY THIS UNDERRATED GODDESS??!?!?!! God damn, Alex really is a psychic
Same i just started looking at them
Same
Love my 97 VR4! I've done countless performance upgrades and haven't had any major issues. Been driving it for 3 years now. Definatley is a head turner!
OMG! I have a 3000gt now and in '92 I had a Dodge Stealth. The 3000gt I have now is me reliving my youth because I was able to pick it up cheap and it ran good for a while, but now needs a new trans. 😢. However, I just love this car and I was smart enough to get the SL so no major issues like the VR-4 (although I'll always love the VR-4) because I knew enough about these not to get into that quagmire.
So thanks for the shout out to us Stealth/3000gt cult groups who just love these. 😁😁
Yours didn't develope the loud liftetr noise?
One wasting away I'm my village
Gonna buy it and restore it
I had a buddy that owned a 91 VR4 in the pearl white...such a beautiful car. He decided early on that he didn’t care much for the complexity of the car, so he removed the active aero, installed coil overs, and disabled the rear wheel steering. After that he replaced the whole exhaust system, did an intake, a blow-off valve, and had it professionally tuned. For being as heavy as it was, when he was in low rpm the car was super fast and had very little lag.
Considering you can buy a nice lower mileage one on BaT in the high teens it’s a real 90s Japanese sports car bargain.
I bought a 1995 Mitsubishi 3000gt sl everything stock and has 136,000 miles.I love it!!!
How much ?

Ahhh....the car that John Hennessey became famous with! Loved and still do my '91 3000GT!
Friend of mine bought one off a college professor he had. Kept it very clean. Great car, ahead of its time.
a video I have waited for soo long love the content
I have a 1995 3000GT SL and I couldn't be happier. It still turns heads everywhere I go and it's just a blast to drive.
I'm still butthurt the FTO never made it over. I do miss my VR4 though. Paid $3300 for the car, dumped more than I care to admit and smacked 11s on a regular basis while also dailying. Fantastic car.
Part 2 maybe!? 👀
Love it!!! Currently working on my 94 3000gt what a drag....is it worth it?? OH HELL YEAH!
Fantastic video guys, I'm pretty glad to hear that you know what your talking about. Been there too my man, just sold mine.
Nice video! I have had three 3/S cars through the years since 2003. I currently own two (a '95 GTO, which I TTd with 15Gs and a '92 Stealth ES). I absolutely love these cars and never want to get rid of mine! There is a mounting problem with reliability issues, because these cars are getting pretty old now, but I am able to work on mine myself, so that's a bonus... The fastest example of these is into the 8s in the quarter mile drag racing and has about 1,250hp so they are very potent cars! All one needs to do to get good treatment from them is to treat them well in return!
I own 93 VR4 .... Is just for love, is my first Dream Car, from Gran Turismo in ps1 ...
Same here my love for the 3kgt started with gt1.
Thanos voice: This truly puts a smile on my face
This has quickly become my favorite car UA-cam channel. Subbed , congrats on the success
Thank you for the support! 🙏🏼
I'm the proud owner of a 1994 Dodge Stealth R/T "Luxury" 3 of 3 in silver metallic. I've always loved the 3/s platforms lines, and would stare, jaw open, whenever I spotted one as a kid. The non-turbo is slower, yes, but has respectable potential and the 6g72 loves spray, lol. Mine has been a rock solid daily for 2 years now, and I wouldn't trade it for any other car. This video was spot on, without being overly critical; I loved it. Cant wait to finish this build and get started on the v8 swapped stealth, 😎Drive on.
I have a 95 VR4. Love it. Even when its broke lol. Currently rebuilding the engine (because I wanted to, not because it was broke lol) with forged internals and 3SX bored/built stage 3 heads. Slapping some Garret GT26s on there that I have next. Classic (and original) porn star red paint too. Has a lot of sentimental value to me too. Used to belong to my friend before he passed away. I bought it off his family to restore it and keep his dream alive a little. Can't wait to finish this thing up. Hoping to push 600-750HP when all said and done. Oh and everything else works on it still (minus the active suspension. when my friend bought it, it was already removed), but the rest is still there and working.
Yeah one rotting away I'm my village
Gonna buy it
Restore it
My friend probably Gonna push it to 400-500 hp
I saw a “lot” with at least 7 of these they are absolutely beautiful cars 👍🏼👍🏼and there were about 4 lancers
I just got a 1991 VR-4 a couple weeks ago and I love you. Active aero still works! Who knows for how long, but when it stops working I’m willing to pay to make it “right”. It may be a hassle to work on in theory, but in doing research you can find people that are knowledgeable on these cars. You gotta pay to play. And that goes with ANY vehicle you own.
A friend had one when i was in France. They are sooooo hard to modify and always broken but will surpise you about their perf that on day they work properly
YESSS I’ve had 2 SLs they’re slow but still fun and they sound so good with my flowmaster 😏😏
Thanks for shittin on these cars. Scare people away so that we can keep the prices down and keep collecting and driving them. The problems aren't any worst than any other 90s JDM car. And most of the stuff on 3kgt/S's are well documented and fixable.
@InnerGuide take out most of the annoying electronics, make a bunch of pre-emptive fixes to problems. Don't half ass things, go all in for more expensive parts to make sure they don't break again etc etc. Same old song as every 90's car. The difference is, you pay 25k aud on this, some fella pays 100k aud on a skyline R34, and you pull ahead laughing xD
This was the very first car that I remember seeing a magazine ad for and falling in love with.
I picked up my red 92 sl on my birthday a few months back and on the way home me and my dad turned so many heads it was crazy. Can’t wait to finally get her on the road.
90’s also had great music!
My Dad had a 94 non turbo version in Caracas Red paint that looked soooo cool.
It could hit 150 mph in about 30 seconds.
Noo in about 20
Owning a 2000 Mr gt3000 is amazing! Got so many plans to make it beautiful and fast! It's too bad not so many know what these are. Awesome video btw!
There wasn't a year 2000 unless you live in another country where it's titled GTO.
Still have mine, 12 years now. Its an imported 1990 GTO twin turbo (Japanese version of the VR4) The first month was scary, but once I had broken down the different systems under the bonnet (yes I'm English lol) its actually just like any other car. Just very VERY well packaged. If you know about cars, they're no different from anything else. Modern supercars have only just cause up with active aero and active exhausts. But I wouldn't trade. Love my GTO! Great vid guys
God I love this car so much, makes me giddy with excitement to see mine rolling after the engine is built, and for those of you wondering no lol I'm not going the "mock vr4" set up. I'm actually working on a procharge setup and seeing if that route can still produce the power without out the turbo hardware filling up the engine bay, because who knows, I might just try for a 6.2.....
A positive displacement supercharger and air to water intercooler underneath would probably take up less room and create less complexity. Since it is a built engine, I'm guessing you got pistons that had a compression ratio lower than the NA version.
From a 3000GT owner it's a very rewarding and gratifying experience building up one of these things to be something awesome and they are so much fun but they are also a headache they're notorious for being unreliable I have one of the cleanest ones I've seen in the area and I'm still spending 5,000 every couple of years on repairs on average. I just did a 60k tune up not too long ago about 5000 miles ago and that includes the water pump the timing belt and the tensioner. The tensioner just failed and I jumped timing and basically destroyed the engine. Then I find out the tensioner was not under any type of warranty or anything. So basically these cars are super expensive to fix and anytime you do something you are rolling the dice with an old car especially this one. Sure you could have a shop do your 60k for like freaking $1,200 but having a shop do everything gets super expensive and I'm pretty sure the warranty I'm at tensioner is only like a year anyway so if it slips after that you're in the same boat with a blown engine. I had so much fun with mine and I'd recommend it to anyone at I'd still I had so much fun with mine and I'd recommend it to anyone at I'd I had so much fun with mine and I'd recommend it to anyone at I'd still say it I had so much fun with mine and I'd recommend it to anyone I'd still say it was definitely worth the experience but if you're someone who's younger or is in a financial situation dont have it as your main car and be stuck tfying to get to work ome day... Lol
What brand of parts u use? Personally only use OEM for timing belt n timing belt 60k service parts such as the tensioner as U said. Yes it can be expensive but U only have to do it once every 60k or 5 years or if ur not driving it much once every 8 years or so depending on ur situation. U can get OEM kit from dealer Cherry Hill Kia Mitsubishi with all the OEM parts for a lil over 300 bucks not bad..then have a reliable mechanic install it right. Also as long as U keep up with ur oil changes n basic maintenance even if the tensioner fucks up n blown engine due to timing U can still get a decent engine for a lil under or a lil over 1 grand.....(using ur old engine as a trade in core) main thing if ur turbos if those get blown they can cost U more than the engine. Like to know what brand tensioner U used...USE only OEM! thanks
@@265308 full oem :/ sadly
CHARLIE DEWEY ur car stock? N where U get the job done at. 3sx sells their own tensioner thst claim will climate that.

I bought a 92 Stealth twin turbo recently. I'm having a blast with it. It's in storage for the winter now but once spring comes along I'm taking it in for the 120k service and putting new tires on it. I can't wait to have all summer to enjoy it.
about 6 months go i got my first car, a base 93' 3000gt, and I love it, its a great car thats been through a lot in the last years but it runs like a champ, Im slowly restoring it to its former glory. Its a great and fun car.
As an 04 Pontiac GTO owner, my butt is hurt, but the Gran Turismo 1 fan in me cant get over the VR4
I have a 95 VR4 with mods and its a fun and comfortable and a badass looking car .most people irace got no idea what are they messing with
Thanks chief. Needed this
I’ve had my 94 3000GT for about half a year now and I love it. I haven’t taken it to a shop since I prefer to do my own work and I love that too. I think the best way to one word summarize the car was “Underdog.” It didn’t stay up like the competition did, and that’s the worst part. Ever since I first saw one at a beach just parked, I fell in love and sought after one for 5 years. Now that I have one, it’s great and I love having a car older than me.
Had a 98 3kGT, semi-built with DR650 turbos in the early 2000s... somehow got a P505 code and could NOT fix the damn thing. Replaced intake sensors and took it to multiple 3K specialists and no-one was able to fix it. Could not get it smogged for Cal due to "Check Engine" light on, but can pass the actual sniffer test. 3 yrs later had to let it go cause I could not get a license plate due to not able to smog it.
Loved the damn car and nothing like a 5000 rpm clutch dump AWD launch!
TLDR - Fuck California!
Just like you, my first car was the SL model and now I got myself a vr4 from Texas to Cali (not running). Slow restore but hopefully it starts soon on it's own lol.
I just got back in the 3000gt game after about having a VR4 about 7 years ago. I settled for a 92 SL this time because I just couldnt pass on this beauty.....was a 1 owner with only 47,000 miles, garage kept Silver with black leather, super clean and unmodified. Purrs like a kitten and I'm back in love with the 3000GT. Wish I could post a pic!
Make a video plz. I would love to see it

I was just searching for some information about the 3000gt bcs I want to buy one and look at that you released a video about it :D thank you
Same dude, super convenient
Never had the vr4. Had the base model 2wice and 1 sl. I never had any issues. I love the way it handles and how fast it is stock. No limiter. All around great vehicle
Everyone has forgotten about the groundbreaking convertible. ☹
I haven't. Always wanted that hardtop spyder version of vr4
I've got a blue 3000 GTO twin turbo in the UK, stunning car and turns heads everywhere I go. So advanced for their age. Only main issue I have is that they run hot and yes my active aero has broke but can fix easily but not got round to it as yet haha.
What city in UK and how much is your insurance? I live in London and a bit worried the price will soar.
I'm getting one tomorrow so thanks for the informative now I can't let this offer pass now
Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo owner here (Dodge clone of VR4). Absolute beast of a car, and it turns heads everywhere. My car is low mileage so the issues haven't started rolling in yet.
No but I take a LADA

Well played, subbed.
Been my teenage dream car. Finally got a 93 VR4 with 70k miles. It is not as comfortable as the current cars but does it put a smile on my face when I drive it through the canyons. Amazing cars
This made me miss mine. I want another one. Had the 91. Pop ups... best thing ever.
I own a '93 3000gt and its been breaking on me ever since the first day I owned it. I carry a complete roadside tool kit in the back just in case lol
I’m curious, what are some of the worst things that have broken? And how much do you spend on it on average every year?
I have the 1995 GSX and my nephew had A modified SL.
The transmission had A hard time with the extra power on the SL. Get the VR-4 if you are going to add power or just leave the SL stock.
Had a 94 3kvr4 while stationed in Georgia! Absolutely loved it! Now I’m living is Oshkosh! Way to go on doing a v4 love video and way to go on being in Wisco, just gotta fix your fridge beer.
I bought my gen 1 GTO when I was 22. I'm now 39 and it's been broken for the last 10 years. My friend and I have been working on it intermittently since and I'm happy to say it's currently getting the roadworthy certificate and being tuned. It has a newly built forged engine with 19T turbos. This thing is going to be amazing when I get it back in a few weeks!
been enjoying an SL for a year now, got it at a good price with relative low miles for a 20yo car, no big issues with it. If I have an itch for stupid speed, I just jump on my Ninja ZX-14
How could you not mention SNES the 90's........ Literally best console ever
Own one now. 1993 3000gt VR4. Love it!!
Intros are always so epic
Count me in, bought JDM '93 GTO 3 weeks ago.
How has it been? just wondering i might buy one same year for 9.5k CAD
I still have my ‘96 that I bought brand new. It’s been broke once, for an oil sending unit. I think all these broke ones are due to multiple owners how don’t give it the attention it deserves. I have taken extra care of mine and it has served me well for two decades. And before you ask, YES, it is still my daily drive.
Have had my 92 vr4 for 11 years, after 10 grand in building and repairing, all works on it now and it is the perfectly smooth daily. I love my 3k so much, it's going to be my son's first car.
Rebuilding our stealth tt engine as I type this. Forged everything. Built heads.. Wanting 800whp. Great video with alot of truth.
I loved my VR4. Handled very well, the tall gears made it kill easily with a set of modified 15g turbos. Tuning required a standalone (this was before the "Chrome" ECU) And even 18x10 wheels fit under the fenders with a 0 offset. After my 2nd engine blew due to poor oil circulation I called it quits. The engine bay made the car infuriating to own.
I’m either getting a 350z or a vr4, I’ve weighed all the options but performance wise wich is better
@@julianmorales6980 if a vr4 is in good condition it has good acceleration
But is very heavy
Go with a well looked after 350z
The 3000GT is a good example of a good car with a ton of features...that most/all will eventually break.
I'm looking at you, modern cars, with all your fancy tech and electronics.
Some cars had that problem of failure prone tech years before the 3000GT. Cadillac often was the first to install proprietary tech in their cars, and once that tech broke, many people couldn't take it anymore.
Still have my first 19995 3000gt Sl Either way it is one amazing car, and it gets a ton of looks. I'll never get rid of it!
I am a VR4 owner and I love the platform. Such a great car and such a great value in the car market right now.
Do another 90s legend that you never see anymore, "so you want a Corrado"
I own a 93 rt n/a second I've owned its my eveyday car everything works ac electric struts cruise yada yada not everything worked when i got her.. but i love my stealth its a great car
Love my '91 VR4! Lots of maintenance, but almost 300,000 miles and counting on the original drivetrain!
My first one was an sl. And then I became a fanatic. The vr4 is so awesome to me.
I daily a 3000GT SL that i paid pocket change for. I love it. Id buy another in a heartbeat
Picked up a 94 3000gt. SL. For 800.00 running and driving...has the newer headlights ...which is fine with me....the one thing I cannot figure out is HOW THE FUCK TO GET THE DASH LIGHTS TO WORK...any help would be appreciated...yes i know there is a video on you tube but the dudes voice is sooooo fuckin annoying
@@mikethompson11 Well theres 2 thinks the lever that controls the blinkers is the end knob turned where the dash lights are on? Also on the dash between the door and wheel is a wheel which should go up and down for dimness otherwise theres an issue with aftermarket stereos causing issues with lighting
@@mikethompson11 shoot me an email if you have trouble. I can send some pics to help zts07galant@gmail.com
So I've heard if I connect the illumination wire from the back of the radio to the power antenna wire ( the blue one ) that should fix the problem is that right?
@@mikethompson11 Im not sure i think something like that
So you want Nissan Se-R spec v and Nissan Altima SE-R next and So you want a G37

Been eyeballing a white one down my block and this video sealed the deal definetly my next buy
