Hi MattR, Chef and Primo,

Thom here form Japan Imports, I am looking at our Airtrek as we speak. Sitting quietly in the back of the shed. We are still about 3 months away from having the evidence package completed. Not long to go now. It does drive well and looks heaps better than the Aussie Outlander even in big stock form.

2002 Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo-R engine engine type turbocharged petrol Engine manufacturer Mitsubishi Engine code 4G63 Turbo Cylinders Straight 4 Capacity 2 litre

1997 cc

(121.864 cu in) Bore × Stroke 85 × 88 mm

3.35 × 3.46 in Bore/stroke ratio 0.97 Valve gear DOHC

4 valves per cylinder

16 Total valves maximum power output

(JIS) 239.3 PS (236 bhp) (176 kW)

at 5500 rpm Specific output

(JIS) 118.2 bhp/litre

1.94 bhp/cu in maximum torque

(JIS) 343 Nm (253 ft·lb) (35 kgm)

at 2500 rpm Specific torque

(JIS) 171.76 Nm/litre Engine construction sump compression ratio 8.8:1

Yes 4G63T, 5 Speed Auto.

No manual version? An auto would make a decent enough daily but I suppose if not a manual conversion wouldn't be too hard.

Don't call me Mr.Scorpion. It's Mr.Scorpi*o*, but don't call me that either. Call me Hank!

Just wondering, is there any word in regards to compliance coming through?

One website is listing them for approx $10,000AUD Landed and Complied (minus tyres and normal registration costs), however another website is listing one for just under $20,000.

That's a huge difference, and would like to know which is the more realistic price, and if compliance is available yet.

Resurrection Time...

JapLink Motors - now JLM - has successfully been able to comply the Mitsubishi Airtrek.

Some other importers in Sydney have had trouble with getting "emissions" testing passed.

JLM does not keep stock. They will accept orders as I'm sure Iron Chef will too.

From the Lancer wagon thread. Best to ask JLM or Chef for a realistic price guide. I would guess compliance will not be as cheap as other vehicles but quality work costs.

From what I hear off many people the Evo GT-A boxes are a heap of shite. Planetary gearsets can move and in turn destroy your box. They're also hard to come by and therefore expensive not to mention the costs of having the box taken out and having it all replaced.

This is the one thing that put me off getting one. They are a hoot to drive. Quicker than their specs make out.

Hey guys, so sorry to dig old post! But I am looking for a daily suv/4wd and quite interested at getting a Mitsubishi Airtrek.

Did anyone actually got themselves one of these? Would love to know any pros/cons or known issues!

Cheers

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
