*Update* The car must go so it will be traded within the next week hopefully as I need a car for work. If you are interested I will sell the car for the trade in price minus some a couple of mods (as the dealer will allow me to take them off) or as is for little more. If you are keen please call me tell me your price..

I have decided to sell my 1996 Mitsubishi GTO. Its has been a pleasure to own and drive but I am looking for somthing which is a little more of a daily driver, I just don't drive it and it has been sitting in my garage (I have done 6,000km in 18 months!)

So I am happy to consider trades / swaps with a cash adjustment either way.

It is the perfect cruiser and very comfortable on long trips with the power to match! It has truely amazing torgue delivery, with virtually no lag!

This car is my pride and joy, and the only reason for sale is that I never drive it and want something else to drive on a more regular basis.

1996 GTO in immaculate condition. You would not be able to fault this car.

The engine has done 20,000km and been rebuilt with forged internals with reciepts by Orger Engines.

Hiflow turbos

Motec ECU

6speed manual and heavy duty clutch

XTR custom Front Mount Intercooler

Remus 3inch exhuast (very quiet)

Cruise Control

7inch TV with TV Tuner, aftermarket speakers, amp etc

19inch wheels with new Hankook K104 tyres (approx 200km old)

Koni Adjustable Suspension

Active Aero

Sard FPR, 580cc injectors

Blitz ID3 Boost controller

Autometer Guages replacement in stock guage location, (Oil Pressure, Water Temp and Boost)

Alarm

I have reciepts for all work and no expence has been spared. All works performed by reputable performance workshop. It has been serviced every 2000 - 3000 km with castrol 10w60.

The car has nothing to spend and is an absolute pleasure to drive with amazing drivability and torque. Thousands of dollars spend to make this GTO what it is. most of the modifications have been performed in the last 12 months.

Please don't hesitate to call me for an inspection. You would be hard pressed finding one in this condition let alone the level of modifications and attention to detail.

I am interested in trades / swaps if you have one. Something along the same lines (performance Jap car) I'm looking for more of a daily driver, I just can't bring myself to drive this to work!!

On a long trip you can relax in 6th gear with the cruise control on and enjoy 9l/100km fuel economy!

Check the first post buddy, I can get more photos but the car is in storage right now so they may take a little while. The engine bay pic was taken in the middle of the Front Mount install, the intercooler piping is powder coated black not as it is in the photo.

I have also included an old interior pic.

Cheers

Guys I am open to reasonable offers.. I really need something more of a daily driver. If It doesn't sell soon I'm going to consider trading it in, I'd much rather see it go to someone that will appreciate it as much as I have.

Ok, I'm going to get prices for a trading in late this week or next week so the car should be gone by next week or the week after.. Price is down t $26,500 or any offers close to the trade in value of the car.

If your serious and want a bargain then give me a call to arrange an inspection. The car is a genuine immaculate example. I even have service history from 1999 when the car only had 20,000km on it.

this is an awesome car Dave i would buy it for sure if i didnt already have a gto myself :)

trust me guys these cars pull more looks than any single skyline will i can bet on that (r34 gtr included), they are absolute head turners and they are very very underestimated in the performance scene. I personally like my gto better than my 600hp skyline because its just soo unique and i always get comments on the looks and has a very very torquey engine unlike the rb26s are known for. This car would be capable of high 11 sec 1/4 mile time for sure with that power and mods.

this is Ozgto from the 3si forums if ya wondering as well Dave :D

good luck on the sale

cheers buddy... the torqure delivery is amazing!!!! I ran a 12.6 with only 200awkw so id say 11's are not out of reach. I just had a quote for a trade in so i'll take any reasonable offer over that.. Pm me or call me if you are intersted.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
