I went for a drive last night, and ended in North Sydney and came to a set of lights.

Anyways a Red Mitsubishi 3000GT pulled up behind me, and then reversed and came on my left, and i thought alright your on, so im waiting for the lights to change, and i see the opposite lights turn orange and then red, and then our lights turned green and i hit it, by second gear i was wondering where is he?

He did'nt even go for it and peacefully came back into my lane there was a car parked.

DAM i wanted to drag a 3000 GT does any know how fast they are? or even had a go with one? would be interesting to find out not that many around.

the aussie delivered 3000GT's arn't turbo (i dont think) - they should be similar to the aussie delivered Z's... ie, big and no power.

The GTO's on the other hand are TT etc...

i *think* thats how it is anyway... not 100% certain.

funny you should mention that....

the LATE model 97+ versions are 320hp..... using the mitsubishi 6g72TT engine....

my sonata came with a 3.0L V6 option (only in auto) and guess the engine code... 6g72 (no TT here!)

The Twin Turbo V6 engine from the 3000gt/GTO's would fit straight in my sonata....

think of this kind of power in say a 1200kg car (FWD!)

.....*sigh* I done the research.. AND, to possibly have the world's fastest Sonata I would be looking at about $10,000 for the front cut, new ECU, labour, parts etc....

.... but then, I've always wanted a Skyline, so I decided not to piss my money away.

Think I made the right decision ??

Only Twin turbos were sold here, you have to import the N/A version. A GTO/3kGT should beat a GTST easy they run 13.3-5 with a decent driver some have been known to hit 13.0 stock. The fastest GTO is the MR it's the sports version they come with harder suspension and BBS rims and have less options then the GTO TT, they run 12.8 stock but i dont think any of them are in australia.

That said stock for stock with equal drivers it goes like this

1: GTO MR 12.8

2: GTR 32-34-33 13.0-1-2

3: GTO TT 2nd GEN 13.3-4

4: GTO TT 1st GEN 13.5-6

There might be an MR in aus but i have never seen one. I was going to get an MR but it has no leather or active aero dynamics or AWS or climate control and a bunch of other goodies that the higher model GTO has. I might still get an MR just depends what i run into over in Japan i also might be getting an R33 GTR as a daily driver/fast car, because i will be moding the GTO like crazy.

off gone in 60 seconds?? the 1967 one..i LOVE that car

that be the one. i've been in love with it ever since my days of 'street rod'

remember that game where you'd drag cars for pink slips? spent hours playing that game.

in around a years time i'll have a double garage and i'll be looking for a cheap one to restore. will be very hard to find in aus so i'll have to import it from usa i think.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
