i was on nissansilvia.com and bumped onto this vr4 for sale:

the funniest post is from our friend entaran:
We've tried getting some answers on galantvr4.org.au to no avail. This is the conclusions we've come up with so far over there and questions YOU need answered if you plan on purchasing this car:

Evo 3 gearboxes contain an engine mount, vr4 boxes don't. You can't mount an e3 box to a vr4 without some extremely serious modifications or in short: It doesn't fit.

E3 gearboxes are 3.9 ratio, usually equipped with a front LSD. VR4 boxes (ASPEC) are 3.545 ratio, open front, the front driveshafts are significantly longer and have a different spline count from memory. What he's done with the driveshafts is anyones guess. E3 gearboxes neccisitate the use of the e3 transfer which means the vr4 tailshaft will have to be replaced as the length then becomes incorrect. He will also have had to have replaced the rear differential with a 3.9 item (or at least the crown wheel and pinion).

If he's changed the pistons god knows how many times, the block is 0.040 or more overbored and the wall thickness is begging for destruction. Run 20+ psi at your own risk. The "GSR" pistons... god knows. GSR (CC Lancer GSR we're assuming) are 1.8 litre not 2.0 litre blocks and the pistons are a completely different size. We still can't figure this one out.

E3 injectors are yellow topped, not blue topped. Grab photoshop and enhance the photo, I saw blue not yellow... or more specifically "More blue than yellow". Until we see a flash photo of the injectors we can't tell.

How did you mount the GT28 to the E3 manifold given that the e3 manifold is a cast item designed for an MHI flange not a garrett flange? Did you use an adapter plate? If so, did you replace your exhaust and all your intercooler pipework to match the new lengths as the turbo would be mounted an inch or so further down? What did you do about the lower radiator support directly under the turbo?

The intake manifold looks eeriely like an Aus-spec VR4 item rather than an E3 item. This however can't be determined again without a good photo of the area with a FLASH or copious amounts of daylight.

Is the link EMS a plug and play item? If not, why is most of the stock loom still there?

Why did you use the original VR4 rocker cover? Can we get a photo of the intake ports where the intake manifold joins the head (below the fuel rail)? Why did you use a GSR clutch (suited for a different sized flywheel/PPlate) on an "evo 3" item? Which colour Koni's are they and what springs are they matched to? Koni's arent' height adjustable, they're damp/rebound adjustable. I don't see how adjustment would affect the height of the vehicle.

all i can say is lawrence rolled this guy all over!! top stuff :D
 
:roll:
Like i said in my last 2 post there>

OK this car originally came from Townsville.
It was recently sold by Daniel to Janne(ya-nay) his mate.

I have seen it in the flesh and as far as i could tell(and what he told me) it looked like it had an evo 3 head on it. A vr4 heavyduty clutch(just got off the phone to him, but he was hard to hear as he is at the show ground).

He (Daniel) didnt do most of the work the previous owner did it all.
Clutch was put in by Aitkenvale automotive.
As for the rest of the work , as i said the previous owner to Daniel did it so hes not too sure. He also said in the past it ran 12.9 but i dont think he would have the slip for it
As for the receipts Daniel still has them at his house and will be sending them to the new owner soon.

As for the car that has the 2g eclipse turbo on it , thats dave (youda) on the forums, he put it on his gsr at my place

Ill get into contact with Daniel again to get the rest of the details as soon as i can to put everyone at ease and HELP this owner sell it.


Obviously guys he doesnt know much about the car he has bought off Daniel, and he is still waiting for the receipts to arrive.
 
Yeah they should. I have been trying to get some answers for them.

Doesnt mean the bloke selling it is dodgy though, just mis-informed maybe?

I still dont know the whole story yet....more to follow...........

Look mate i never said he was a saint :roll: , just because you got screwed in the past, does not mean that everyone will get screwed as well.

I am just trying to help people out here as i met the last owner.

This new owner clearly doesnt know squat about mitsubishis and this car, everyone is flaming him.

**** he deserves a fair go and he is at least trying to explain himself the best way he can.

If you think hes dodgy fine, thats your opinion. Mine is my own too.

I do think and know that there are some dodgy pricks out there but this bloke seems not to be one of them.

Want something wrong and dodgy, here>>>

i dont think the level of chastisement was neccesary.
Yeah its funny.
he obviously had no idea.

But then again,how many people out there Eat,Breathe and **** galant vr4?
Maybe he just didnt know,its not like he denied anything.
I dont know if it deserves the term "Dodgy"
Nieve maybe.
