*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.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
