AWD, but not VR-4?

[Ryu-Chan]

I read through the FAQ and hunted around, but with something that I couldnt specify enough, even the search defeated me. ~_^

I could swear that I came across a model of the 3kgt that was not a vr-4, but still AWD. Am I just crazy, and me brain is making up things for me, or is it real? If so what year/model is it?

The only thing in the VR-4 that really attracts me over SL or base is obviously the Twin Turbos and the AWD, not so much the extra 78-98hp. But the insurance is so much higher on the VR-4 I doubt if I can maintain it. But I really want the AWD. Help me out please.

all the euro/jdm spec cars are awd. The models are the sr,tt,mr check the FAQ.

[Ryu-Chan]

then i am more confused. I thought those models were the Stealth models. And the Stealths are horendous in my opinion.

What makes them "horendous"? arent they exactly the same as a 3000gt?

[xXxRocker5150]

^on the inside, but they had different styling on the outside. All the JDM 3kgt models were AWD, and stealths only existed here in North American *I don't if there are any in Canada, or Mexico, but it is a possibility, and that's why I said North America, instead of just the US*

[Stealthee]

They are in Canada. 3000gts werent originally sold in Canada at all, only Stealths.

^ gotcha, nice work stealthee

JDM has GTOs,

SR - AWD non-turbo
TT - AWD TT
MR - AWD TT (no AWS)

USDM has 3000GTs and Stealths

Stealth base FWD non-turbo
Stealth R/T FWD non-turbo
Stealth R/T TT AWD twinturbo

3000GT Base FWD non-turbo
3000GT SL FWD non-turbo
3000GT VR-4 AWD TT

the only cars that are in europe were imported privately or by dealers, no 3000s, GTOs, or stealths were built specifically for europe. THANKS TALSKINYGUY!

That is incorrect. There are Euro spec 3000gt's. The Euro spec 3000's were the ones to have the optional 13g's. The GTO was only made for teh Japanese market though.

[AutostradaVR4]

by talskinyguy: The 13G's were a "dealer option" only offered in the UK. Basicly a UK importer would install 13G's if the customer paid for them plus the install.

ok i got ya, so the 3000gts were sent to euro dealers, but the bigger turbos were put on by licensed dealers in the UK, sort of like Yenkos? (mitsu knew they were replacing the turbos and approved it, but they were not "factory options")

[Morphius289]

Did the bigger turbo's come with other upgrades as well? Or was it just the turbo's?

[AutostradaVR4]

good question. wouldnt they need different injectors and other supporting mods to run higher boost?

[youngvr4]

i beleive you can run the same boost (12psi) with the 13's

[alan92rttt]

THe UK GTO's that has 13g's had no other modifications. (remember 1st gen 9psi stock)

I ran my 13's at 12.5 psi for over a year with no fuel modifications.

[Morphius289]

O.o I would have thought that you'd need to upgrade fuel stuff. I guess that's why I don't have a VR4 yet
