1999 Mutsubishi Evolution VI

4WD 2.0L Turbo.

55,000 kms, auction grade 4.5, one owner in Japan, one owner in Australia.

This car was imported unmodified, and included a complete factory-fitted Ralliart sports pack (coilovers, ECU, lightweight wheels, chassis bracing, coilpacks/leads + more).

Since then the car has had some minor internal engine modifications (HKS cams & cam gears, Crower titanium valve springs & retainers, new seals & bearings), but is otherwise standard internally.

The Ralliart sports pack includes a small boost pressure increase (from approx 1.2 to 1.4 bar). This is the boost level that the car has been modified & tuned to, but is by no means the limit of what the engine is capable of.

Other modifications include Tomei 3 inch dump pipe, Apexi Power FC ECU with hand controller, Defi gauge cluster + controller, battery relocation, intake & intercooler modifications, and a TXS exhaust. All original parts are also included.

The recommended safe limit for knock levels when tuning these engines with the Apexi Power FC is 60. This car will never see a knock level above 10, and I will happily demonstrate this to any buyers. It is a safe, reliable tune on a well modified car that will pin you in your seat when you press the loud pedal. Approx 3 hours was spent installing and setting the initial tune on this ECU, and then a further 6 hours was spent on the dyno perfecting the tune.

The car has been regularly serviced every 3000 kms, and comes with all receipts & service records as proof. Even with the agressive cams the car idles steady as a heartbeat, and doesn't blow a single hint of smoke even when pushed.

It irritates me no end to see car after car being advertised as "immaculate", so I'm not going to use that word to describe this car - even though in this case it truely deserves it. But what I will say is that the exterior is absolutely perfect. There is not one single pin dent, faded area, scratch or even a stone chip on this car. The colour & shine on this factory blue paintjob has to be seen to be believed - the photos don't do it justice. You will not find another Evo 6 that's even close to as unmarked as this one is. As with the exterior, the interior of this car is also faultless.

I have reached the stage of my life where I need to grow up and start investing my money properly, and this sadly means selling my car to make way for a house. For this reason I'm not really interested in any trades, seeing as I'd then need to sell the traded vehicle as well.

This car has only had one mature driver for it's entire life in Australia, and has never been taken to any racetrack, drag strip or even a driving event. The sole purpose of this car was to put a smile on my face - something it never once failed to do.

The asking price is $24,000.

If you can find a single fault with the car I will happily reduce that price, but I can tell you now you won't be able to find one.

I don't log onto car forums very often, so all enquiries should be directed to my mobile: 0421 270 972

Cheers,

Sadly the buyers finance was rejected, so the car is back on the market.

And as a testimont to how good this car is, that was the first and only person so far that has come to look at it, and they put a deposit on it. I really mean it when I say that this car is better than any others of this model that you'll ever see.

Thanks for the kind words.

Another deposit has been taken, this time from the second person to look into the car. So far that's 2 out of 2 people - pretty good result!

Hopefully the finances check out for this second buyer. I'll confirm again this Thursday when the car is (hopefully) sold.

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
