Item: '91 VR4 Mitsubishi Galant Evo III 2.0L turbo

Location: Killara, Sydney

Item Condition: Good

Reason for Selling: I am a student and can't afford a turbo car anymore.

Price and Payment Conditions: Chasing $5500 ono, won't part it out.

Extra Info: Only 200, 000 on the clock with a new timing belt, which is nothing for a '91. Car has undergone a full Evo III turbo conversion including cyclone intake. Has a big td05 turbo, Evo III intake, larger intercooler, large radiator, full 3" inch exhaust from the turbo back, boost gauge, turbo timer, brand new timing belt, new heavy ralliart clutch (5000km ago from Meek), big aftermarket cams (i don't know what brand but they are big). Is sitting on Koni Yellows with King Springs -> It's not a serious combination but combined with the 50/50 awd handles quite well without breaking your spine over every pothole.

I have never owned a car as quick as this. Have a Dyno sheet from previous owner with 178kwatw which was done on a loose timing belt that has since been replaced with a strong and tight aftermarket one. Mechanic reckons she is pulling almost 200kwatw. I never go really hard in her but the few times i have she has ripped pretty much everything at the lights, eats stock STI's for breakfast. Definately the best car you can get performance-wise for the price imho.

Inside is really comfy. No rips in the dash (which seem to be in most vr4's) or the seats. I am 6'4" and i fit fine in both the back and the front

Outside there are a couple of scratches (it's a '91, what do you expect) but no rust that i can see anywhere on the car.

Has been serviced regularly and got the clutch replaced by the guys over at Meek Automotive. Got all receipts and whatever.

Why so cheap? Head gasket is gonna need replacing. Other than that the car is in tip top shape (as far as i am aware).

I wish i could keep her but i am poor (damn the student life).

Ahh the old Galant is up for sale again. This car does go quite well and actually handles good too. Once the head gasket issues are fixed it would be a pretty good buy.

unofrtunatly bruv vr4's go for peanuts now days.

Too true .......... they're almost 20 years old now which may have something to do with it I'd say .... but having owned two of them previously, if you can find a good one (which is hard) they are good.

I don't see an issue though. Engine is fine (except for head). No rust to speak of which you would think would be the biggest older car issue. She runs in the 5 seconds 0-100, what more could anyone want for a bargain price? :)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
