Just recently i have a whirring sound coming from the right hand side front of the engine bay. It sounds like a siren in the distance. After about 10 mins of idle it disapears.
Any ideas what this could be? Sorry there isnt much info.

Its a tt right hand drive. 94 model.

Thanks

Hi,
I have a '93 VR4, and everything was working fine until recently.
My engine just seems to cut off. to be more accurate(choking), The engine will fire up each time, would run for about 5-10 minutes. And then the engine would start bucking (Rpm's looks something like ...Start Idle:...

I have a 1999 3000GT and I am missing the piece that is on the front bumper that covers the opening under where the liscence plate holder is. Is it called a "grille"?

Does anyone know where I can get a new piece for that spot? I did internet searches and didnt have any luck. Thanks.

Help... yesterday I took my 96sl to a local car wash here in Vientiane (capital of Laos). They drive it up on a rack where they power wash the underside also. Apparently after that it wouldn't start.... (they coasted it down the rack). After all the normal battery connection checks.... still nothing. When you turn the ignition key, there is no starter motor turning, nothing. All the lights,...

mine is not working, the controls work and it blows air hot and cold and through all the vents but the display is dead. does anyone know how to fix this?

Anyone know where to get one? I'v been lookin but i cant find one..

Hi ,
This might sound like a **** question but how on earth do you change the bulbs on the pop up headlights on my GTO. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Just tuned my 96 3KGT. First I want to thank those who put the information on I got from this forum for making the job go so easy.

I would just like to add one thing.

Before you torque down the plemum put the bolts for the pipe and ERG valve in hand tight in the back. Otherwise they may not line up after they have been apart.

Thanks

The last couple of times i have been out in my Gto TT and got home, the turbo timer is telling me i need to keep my car running for 5 and half minutes. Usually its only about 1 and a half minutes.

My turbo timer is automatic and regulates how long i need to give my car to cool down etc.

Anyone have any ideas to as why this might be?? I'm not travelling any further or...

Hi there,
Newbie Alidocious here. I have a 94 3000gt; had the crankshaft seall replaced last year around this same time, and just recently again. Took to back yard mechanic first time, and dealer just this past time. That was about 2 weeks ago. They also replaced the PCV valve, 1 valve cover gasket, crankshaft seal, and camshaft seal.
WELL, guess what?? It started leaking again 3 days...

Hello all,

I bought a 94 3000gt a couple of months ago and it seems to be fine but the 3rd light from the bottom on the right side of the dashboard has been on since I bought it, and I don't know what it means. Can someone help me out? thanks

Hi.
I am a new member to this forum and I have recently purchased a 1991 Mitsubishi JDM GTO Twin Turbo AWD 4WS.

My rotors are rusting and I am in search of a replacement set. I have found several websites containing aftermarket rotors and stock rotors for the 3000gt. In addition, I found seperate listings for 3000gt and GTOs.

However, I have spoke with a local...

ok i have study alot about mitsubishi and performance my self and engines.

however i realize that if anyone out know that this is possible for the base which is

a 3000gt base model (6g72) to swap the head of a 3000gt vr4 (6g72tt) it the same

engine but higher compression which if u rip half the motor and rebuild the

internals to lower compression i...

So my 1993 3000gt, is just back in running order. and next on my list to fix is the air condiditon.
basically the problem with it is, it is only blowing air.. .hot air at that. but i believe its only air because when the engine is cold it will blow a good breeze when i put it at the lowest temperature. but when the engine gets hot, even at the lowest temp it will start blowing hot air.

Hey guys, im new to the forums here...but i have been trying to do some searching before i post my information.

Bit of a long post but i appriciate any input!

Just bought a 1992 Mitsu. GTO. I love it...got a few things to fix tho.

Hey i just sold my 1991 3kgt sl and bought my 1991 3kgt vr4 last week. The vr4 is quick but it doesn't seem to be as fast as i thought it would be. For some reason, my sl almost seemed to feel faster and it also seemed to pull a lot more...Any ideas or thoughts?

hello,
i was simply wondering if a 1992 3000gt vr4 for 6,000$ is a good deal.
upon this pretty good deal came with a catch
i gotta do the following: A/C needs to be recharged, suspension switch needs to be replaced, and rear window rubber molding needs replacing
oh and btw it was 95,000 mileage

just wondering, and if the 1992 is a good year.

yes im...

I have 90 GTO TT and my demist air vents have warped and cracked. I have bought some new ones but am not quite sure how to get them out. I was hoping it wasnt a remove the dash job. Can anyone advise me of how to change them?

Ok heres the problem my automatic tranny whenever it downshifts into 1st gear it shakes the car up a bit, When it shifts from 1st to second it shifts really hard too but in all other gear shifting up and down is normal. Why would that be, also in reverse the car sputters and the rpm jump from 500-1000 rpm within a given second.

Any insight, thanks guys!!!

Does anyone know where I can find a PDF of an Owners Manual 98 3000gt Sl ?

There are 3 buttons between the overhead lights buttons. One has a picture of a house looking icon. What are the 3 buttons for?

what brand/type fluids
i know i need synthetic awd, but any specific brand
also for coolant?

I've heard that the timing belt interval is different for the SL- that the VR-4 is 60,000, but the SL is 90,000. The gates site, however, does not distinguish between the two. Anyone know if the SL is different?

i have a 92 SL and i
want to get a new shift boot cause mine is old and falling apart..
but i cant change just the shift boot
if i want to change it, the whole top (or cover) of the shifter comes off...

my question is if i can go to the dealer and get the whole cover and shiftboot..
or is my shift boot and cover just f*cked...

I purchased my 3000GT a bit over a year ago. What an awesome car! Not only is the car beautiful and blazingly fast, but there are hardly any in Vancouver as Mitsubishi didn't start distributing in Canada until after the 3000GT was discontinued. The third party warranty I purchased has just expired, so I am now free to get under the hood and get into it. I am looking...

well, i am sadly selling my twin turbo, and i want to know what you guys think i could get for it.

i have 15k invested into it with the paint, new interior, rims/tires, new brakes, new clutch, and have them all professionally installed.

okay since i converted my non turbo to turbo oil pump... does anyone know if i can use the TT oil pump on the car and the TT oil pan will bolt up then?

It's been done! Matt Monett of Dynamic Racing has finally gotten what we've all been waiting for, and not only did he just break into the 8s, he CRUSHED the existing record with an 8.81@166mph!! He also got a backup run of 8.88@165mph. All I can say is WOW!

Here's the vid:

Hi,

Just about ready to install a new timing belt.

The 60k.htm page says "You now need to transfer the marks you made on the old timing belt to the new belt (the belt is directional). "

I'm installing a Contitech Conti synchrobelt. Searching the net I can't find where it says the belt is directional. No arrows on the belt. No arrows on old...

My friend told me about a 350Z with individual throttle bodies pushing well over 300 horses. Do they make any for the 3000GT's? I mean 350Z's are V6 right? So its possible with our cars too. I would like to know what you guys know about ITB's and if there are any applications out there.

another question, i have the block ripped apart. i was curious. since i have it apart and i want performance and its going into a 92 SL.
so now since its apart, im debating whether to convert it to TT or make it all motor NA.
which would be cheaper in the long run?
and easier to do with less tuning?

thanks,

There's a 92 stealth that I'm looking at north of houston. I took a look at it the other day and came across a few issues that concerned me and since I'm not familiar with the car, I was wondering if someone would be willing to look it over w/ me this weekend.

Here's my original thread that discusses some of the issues:

Does anyone know any shops which sell After-Market or Used Auto-Parts where I can find the Front Bumper for 1995 Mitsubishi 3000GT (Black) ?

Or if I want to install a Modified Bumper which looks more Fancy, where exactly can I find it ?

I have been searching on the Internet since a while, but to no good use.

Your any help would be fairly appreciated.
