so many question i have... first is my car has a VR-4 badge, its 4wd, its 4ws, its a 3 litre V6. but its a non turbo and also an automantic.... dose that mean its not really a VR-4?
also i know my car weights a hell of alot, and i have bilstein ajustable suspension that are set to only negivtive 1 degree.... i was woudring if struts will help me stick to the road or if its a waste on time?
also all the GTO i have seen have ''GTO'' in the rear of[image][/image] the car between the tail lights but mine say '' Mitsubishi''... any idea why this is?

the gto is only in japan...and are u sure your car is awd? i cant think of any automatic vr-4's....at least i didnt think they ever made them...and i suppose its a possibility that a NA 6g72 was put in to replace a blown twin turbo motor.

yep GTO-Japan(production actually went from 91-01) 3000gt/stealth-America(91-99) i am guessing the auto tranny and NA 6g72 were put in the car to replace the 6g72tt.

Is it right hand drive? If so, then it's a Japanese car and the specs could be completely different from what was built for the states. The center panel might have been swapped out by someone trying to make it look like a US car, just as many people here rebadge their cars as GTO's.

Yea the GTO badging was prob somebody trying to do some mods on the car. You should try to read up on possibly getting rid of the 4WS component which would lighten your car a bit and getting the TT engine and manual tranny back because with the NA motor trying to move 3750+lbs your car is going to be quite slow. Lol.

Weren't all 3000gt/GTO AWD except the ones imported to the States..? I think so.

Yea they were all AWD. I just thought that he was talking about a car that he bought here in the states. If it was a car in the states and is LHD then the GTO badging would most likely have been custom work. If his was AWD N/A then either his car got a swap done to it or it was a RHD import from Japan. If he did say it was RHD then I am sorry that I missed that.

Yeah, but his profile says he is in New Zealand. I guess ricers (badging an SR as a VR4) aren't only in the states.
