Ralliart spec 3000gt vs Nissan Skyline GTS - Page 3

Hah, no, I know the MR was just the VR-4 with a little less fat. I had heard a rumor that the execs at Mitsubishi had toyed with the idea of producing a mid-engined GTO, but scrapped the idea and stuck with front-engined. It almost seems plausible, with the bucket seats and trunk being replaced by an engine. In any event, I'd like to see someone try to do that. Lots of custom work, but it would probably make our cars faster.

I always thought that MR stood for Mitsubishi Racing like in the MR spec Evo's..

It does i was asking if that is what morph. was talking bout. As for a MR setup lots of custom work but hey with the right amount of $$ anything is possible.

i do know that in australia(because we had a guy from there who was a very cool guy) have gto's. he bought his there and it said gto on the back. i'm sure many remember him. he ended up buying a subaru impreza later on and doesnt visit us anymore

i'm sorry he lived in london and now drives a evo

MR = Mitsubishi racing.

People became confused by some web sites/posts that assumed MR ment Mid engine Rear Drive because they played too much Gran Turismo.

If someone was to put our engine in the rear of the car it would be "RR" setup and not a "MR" setup.

Ralliart 3000gt · 02-15-2006, 03:47 PM

Lol...got to love the Grand Tourismo guys eh, I remember Walking up to this guy who had a Mitsi GTO I asked what he was runin he said nos but mostly talked about his body kit.

I said have you dyno'd it yet he said no, but it would be making at least 1200hp.

I said no such thing.

He said yes there is why would there be 3kgt's like that on GT PS2...... I laughed

Found out latter that he was making 395ATW punk.........

This guy must have been stupid, he was about 20 or so.....lol..

Tech. wouldn't it be RR unless the engine was PAST the rear axel like Porsche 911's Mrs are ontop or alittle foward the rear axle.

Ralliart 3000gt · 02-15-2006, 03:53 PM

oh yea and I was about 16 and the time, he probably saw me get out of my dads Hyndai and thought I knew Nothing.....lol

MR's are Mid engine and rear drive, The engine sits in front of the trans(in the middle) and is gernally mounted like a RWD car.

Think Lambo, Ferrari, GT40.....etc.

Aww crap even before Im done posting I realize you are right. Because the axles on our cars go just behind the engine. But if the engine was on top of the rear axel it would be a RR car instead of a MR car.

That car is absolutely sick

I love all things Ralliart, ask anyone around here, Im the biggest Mitsu head ever!
Ive owned nothing but Mitsus my whole life!
Dude you gotta get some vids of that sick ass ride.

AutostradaVR4 · 02-15-2006, 05:42 PM

the EMS computer in the glove box is badass... where can i get one? lol

also, are you still running twin intercoolers in the stock location? what are they and where did u get them?

love the paint too....stock color? good choice on keeping it...

and, i must say, im with Musashi, More Pics and Videos! lol

Ralliart 3000gt · 02-15-2006, 05:50 PM

Will vid it sometime, I'm away on Business at the moment and my car is going up to Ralliart to get tuned.....

Car looks awsome, scary how new it looks for its age and the ks arn't too bad either it has 94,000km and its a 91 so I'm pretty happy.....

Yea I'm a major 3kgt fan, since I first saw them when I was 16 I fell in love then there was performance so when I turned 17 I bought my First VR-4 it was the same colour as this one but it was a 1993. Funny enough I couldn't drive at all, had never driven in my life in fact so I've had quite a few close calls......... lol never crashed it though cause it was my baby......

Ralliart 3000gt · 02-15-2006, 05:55 PM

Given the fact that the car has had $120,000.00 USD spent to make it ralliart they made the intercoolers so sad to say they are one of a kind.

Other parts were sent here and there USA Engineering division to name one.....

Reguarding the kit in the glove compartment thats pretty old school and has been in there since 1995 and I think thats also custom......

Morphius289 · 02-15-2006, 08:24 PM
