Hey I have a 1996 Lancer GLXi which I am thinking of selling to boost my cash to get my skyline would you be interested? i'm only looking for like 3.5 (just had service, new tyres + whhel alignment and rego) it drives great so my close friends who have driven it say (one is a mechanic apprentice) but i'm looking to start my skyline project and yeha won't need the second car... I know it's none of the ones you mentioned above but it could be a cheaper car until you find something suitable so you have a car in the mean time.

let me know if it's a possibility so I can borrow the company hi-res camera and take some pics for ya.

I live in south Australia, if I wanted to bring the car back here would it have to undergo any sort of inspection on change of state and/or would it pass these tests? (not a problem just things to be prepared for as most mods I put on it will be illegal)

Hi,

Just to let you know I currently drive a red series 1 Mitsubishi 380 VRX as a work/Hire car.

Trying to sell it as we speak... and trade up to an R34

Iv never had a problem with it, however it eats fuel and has huge traction control issues due to it being front wheel drive.

Another issue about the 380 is its size, its near imposable to reverse park and parallel park even with parking sensors . The car also auto tunes the gear ratios as to your driving style, which is a good thing if you travel long distances but for city driving it can get very sluggish and unresponsive.

The car cost 36K because I had the sports suspension fitted and a sun roof installed however now 2 years later its only worth 22K.

On the upside the car is smooth to drive and will do 0-100 in 6.8 seconds + sounds great.

Anyway good luck with the sale

Mike

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
