5 Things I HATE About My 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my car, this video is just about the 5 things I hate the most about it. 5 Things I Love about my car will be out shortly! Thank you guys for watching and I hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE!

[@RipperFromYT]

I owned a '93 VR4 ('91 stealth before that), and yep I remember these things being problems back before I sold it in the early 2000's. Even back then you couldn't get anyone to work on it, certainly couldn't find wheels for it, and couldn't get parts for it. I couldn't imagine trying to keep this car on the road in 2022 so cheers to you dude! Absolutely the favorite 2 cars of my life though. Enjoy it!

[@RostenDrives]

Thank you man!

[@emildahlen6425]

I am surprised you didn't mention reading fault-codes haha. I own a 1992 myself and when I went to read a fault-code I almost pulled my hair out. Firstly I bought an adapter to use a obd reader but for some reason that didn't work. After that I tried reading it with a diod, but the information on what ports to use was limited to say the least, I ended up just finding the problem on my own hahaha. Great video btw❤️

[@RostenDrives]

Ahhh I forgot that one haha yeah they don’t make anything easy with these cars 😂

[@FUNKOfilms]

I recently ran into this. I followed a guide on 3SI to connect a multimeter to the OBD1 port. You watch for DC current pulses long or short and those will correspond with the code. I got 4 long flashes followed by 2 short which should indicate code 42. However, according to 3SI, that code doesn't exist. Through a Google search I found that it could be a code related to a fuel pump issue, which could explain the symptoms the car is showing. I'm putting in a Chrome ECU (which might solve my problem if it's being caused by leaky ECU capacitors) and this will actually allow me to convert to OBD2 and also tune.

[@natehutchinson3836]

Get flashable ECU with OBDII connector. If you're running stock, its a ticking time bomb before the caps fail anyway. Of course having it rebuilt is cheaper, but you don't get the nice things that come with it.

[@nathanieljones7164]

And I got 10 reasons why I hate some Americans

[@sandmont5562]

I had one in silver … pop up light rule 💪🏻. Fuel consumption was a nightmare, A/C was always on the blink including control panel. The seat had body hugging option - but the actuator was uncovered spring that would gradually rip its was through the seat and leather. But there isn’t a day when I don’t miss it … what a chick magnet

[@gabesimoes3795]

Late comment to an older vid but I've owned 3. Rebuilt an engine, clutch changes, timing belts, 11 second cars, etc. They're beautiful machines and I miss mine dearly. They are complicated because of the transverse engine setup, as many cars are, but the turbos do complicate it further. Try slapping on some adapter plates (back in the day) and 16Gs on it, that was fun. Never the less, you need to be a competent wrench to work on these vehicles, be it NA or Turbo. They're amazing though and worth it.

[@chawlay5880]

Actually a soda pop can fits perfect and can be shut as well. The center console arm rest should also somewhat lock into place to avoid falling. Just nitpicking too haha. Love the car! I own a 93 and love it as well!

[@RostenDrives]

You're right with that haha

[@Franklinsone]

Nice video to see what current owners don't like. I owned it in the 90 to 2006. What I hate was the foggy windows, broken AC vents on the dash, small rotors that warp, can't keep up with MRS in twistys, and gas hungry. I got 12mpg because it was modified. Did 1/4 mile in 11.87.

[@josefprem5381]

Ugghhhh the broken dash vents…

[@randelclemons5798]

I'm with you on all 5. You're spot on brother. I have a 97 vr4 (parting out) and 92 Stealth TT. But I put the front & rear caliper & rotors off the 97 and put them on the 92. And trying to still find rims are a nightmare! I'm almost ready to go back to stock rims. 😫 I'm lucky per say the 92 came with aftermarket wheel. But they feel like center blocks. So I'm searching for light weight or forged wheel. Very difficult to find the fit. I saw that the wheels are a 46 offset which I had to dig on forums to get that info.

[@VB_Supra]

the VR4 was my first turbo car, so it has a special place in my heart. Altered Atmosphere in Gaitherburg MD serviced it.. The engine was a pain to work on and I eventually got rid of it cuz of the transmission had to get fixed twice. I remember beating a Supra in it.. but it was probably a NA.. Other than a few vacuum leaks and A/C always going out.. I rarely had issues.

[@SolarWardenGaming]

1. The VR-4 requires premium fuel. Gas prices are high these days 2. The Active Aero System tends to stop working

I’m rebuilding my old ‘92 vr4 it’s also white but I gotta find someone to rebuild the motor and install it along with the transmission. Nice vid

[@rocknjock872]

It is funny you mentioned about finding someone who can work on the car. I first bought mine in 2002. The Mitsubishi dealer near me did not even know what it was. They were questioning if I'm sure it is a Mitsubishi. I have owned mine for 21 years. You really have to be either financially wealthy, or you have to be mechanically inclined and enjoy working on it enough to learn as you go. I have spent $6,200 over the past 4 years on mine but I chose not to do that work. That is just major stuff. The biggest price tag was my fuel lines from the sender to the rail were rusted out, and my rear brake lines rusted out. That is not including regular maintenance. I have never had a problem finding wheels and tires like many seem to have. I have custom wheels and always get all season tires.

[@sparky1570784]

Thanks for the heads up on the wheels!

[@dustytanco6917]

The drink spot is funny as hell.. i own a 93 rt.. It always made me chuckle a grand touring car with at time some of the most amazing technology ever built. But Mitsubishi figured you'd not get thirsty ever on these epic drives lol 😆

[@RostenDrives]

Yeah haha like it would have been so easy to even just put 1 cup holder..but no

[@FieldofWheat15]

I designed a plate out of 3/4 steel that spaced the front rotors out 2”. Found the nismo 370z rotors were the perfect fit. Basically 2g spacing on a 1g. If anybody wants the design I can send you all the pictures of how I made it.

[@lefishe3068]

I know someone who owns a 3000gt. It is a V6 as well, but it's not turbocharged. Does that make the job a lot easier or just a bit?

[@CammedFox]

I just sold my 440 hp fox body mustang and I think eventually I'm going to explore Japanese halo cars and 3000gt vr4 is one of my favorites. I appreciate the info here. I would most likely go for a bone stock one and leave it so but it's good to have a heads of what to expect

[@RostenDrives]

Even stock these cars are a blast to drive and still turn heads

[@bbrewer5]

I came from a 447whp 95 cobra. T56 magnum, built 8.8, full drag suspension, Yada Yada, to a 91 3kgt vr4. Very different experience. Both awesome in their own way. You won't regret it.

[@FranciscoOrtizGonzalez]

I like your engine bay!!! Almost original!

[@kiweeltyler3586]

So what offset are the wheels? That would be helpful to know.

Screw the cup holders!!!! But most of the other points are spot on.. I had a friggin nightmare finding wheels for my 1991 VR4, and the exhaust is an absolute nightmare as it is basically impossible for me to get one shipped as I live in the middle of nowhere and it is so effing annoying!!!! But 1 thing I managed to do which you mentioned is to replace the rear turbo without removing the plenum chamber and all that junk around there, but to put it mildy, it was a F nightmare!!!!! These cars are fun, a proper eyelooker, but the maintenance on them sux proper salty donkey ballz!!!!

[@user-nr7wj6tp5f]

Good video. absolutely agree with you... interested but owners all of the world take this problem.. good luck

[@arva1kes]

You can have a aftermarket cupholder in ashtray. also you can swap your sparkplugs in an hour if you are into it. Owning NA and VR4. Engine bay is really cluttered and all thing are just thrown randomly in there instead of having some order.

[@scottrc5391]

LOL at the cupholder issue. I remember the struggle well in my old '93 base. But almost every car has something ridiculously annoying. My newer Z's equivalent issue is the hatch requiring two pushes of the button and some help with your hand to get it to open. On the wheels issue, back in the day, 5Zigen's (particularly FN01R-C's) were all the rage - I don't recall anyone mentioning fitment issues on the 1st gen VR-4's - have you tried them? As far as repairs, I had my T-belt and 120k service done believe it or not by an independent family friend who specialized in old Volkswagens... basically nothing even resembling most modern cars. I believe I got quotes from a dealer or two also - mind you this was back in 2003. Unfortunately, from a parts availability perspective (and willingness of people to work on them), 2023 is about 20 years late to the party. I have toyed with the idea of picking up another 3000GT for winter duty, but I don't like the parts availability issue (and unlike, e.g., Mustangs and Camaro's, aftermarket was never particularly strong for this platform to begin with, even in its heyday).

[@davidkeetz]

#5 ! Hahaha Man Mitsubishi really didn’t want their drivers drinking and driving….alcohol…soda….water…none of it. They didn’t put cup holders in the montero either until the later generations. One of the few aftermarket parts for my montero happens to be 3d printed cup holders to fit into the center shifter blank.

[@mattolson2133]

Does all this apply to the stealth too

[@kegankelly3073]

Dealership won't touch your car bc they don't have OEM parts for it anymore! They have some, but only those that were also on other cars that Mitsu made. It's not bc they don't want to work on it! Trust me, most Mitsu techs would LOVE to work on your VR-4 🙂 I own a '91 VR-4 & I do all my own work. She's not that hard to wrench on if you know what you're doing.

[@godfirst6880]

It's ok...we Mitsubishi Eclipses (3G) owners know how you feel when it comes to those 3 rear spark plugs, we have to go through the same process. I've even made a video on my car channel because there are only 2 other videos about how to take out those rear plugs.

[@danhammond9066]

Agree parts number one issue. Do they fit? I have ordered so many parts for my car online only to send them back because they do not fit my car. Miss labeled often. Many vendors assume the base model has the same parts as the VR4 does. In some cases yes but most often no.

[@davidyang577]

Hey man, nicely done video and cool 3000gt. I also owe a GTO face-lift in pearl white and with some big plans for it. Just like to know, where did you find that drink holder? That's the most annoying thing not to have when I try and take it out. Cheers

[@RostenDrives]

Thanks! And I got it with the car so I’m not sure where you’d get one, I do know they sell 3D printed cup holders that replace the ash tray/coin tray that lots of people really like

[@angelasmith8695]

Nice clean engine bay

[@willvr4]

I had a fully built out '1991 VR4 with a built out engine from Pamepena Motorsports. But for the most part it was BPU,. It was meant to have eventually upgraded turbos/fuel and handle 800hp. It was so much fun senior year of high school and all through college...on the rare occasion that it wasn't broken. I paid 6k for the car with 140k on it, rebuilt engine. Keep this in mind, even in 1991, it cost 40k. That's 90k in 2023.

[@colesoum6913]

HOW ABOUT CHANGING THE TIMING BELT AND H20 PUMP?

[@coolawesomeepicman4513]

just bought a base model 1994, the reason I didn't look for a turbo is not only is it another thing that would break, but also because if anything was ever wrong with the car, it wouldn't be the turbo

I have had many Mitsubishi Galants. They do NOT have big brakes at the front.

[@randylear8264]

I own a FWD Twin Turbo Stealth R/T. I built it myself. Put the engine( a J-Spec) in myself and the 3SX front Mount inter cooler. I had a posi unit put in the transaxle. I had to use the one O2 wire ecu from Japan to make it run. Also upgraded the fuel pump. The car runs great. I will just need to put a better clutch in it. The one I am currently running is not strong enough and slips on anything more than 2lbs. of boost. I find these cars pretty straight forward to wrench on. Just need to take your time and remove more stuff than normal to access parts. This is why it is called the average man’s exotic. Look at the prices of mechanics that work on exotics. Same with this car. So learn how to wrench on them yourself. Save yourself a lot of money. The cars a blast to drive. And folks love these old cars.

That’s awesome man! And you’re 100% right, learn to work on these cars and you’ll save a ton of money and it’s just good to know how to work on your own car haha

[@maxlegend8230]

I am not a car mechanic, but I work on heavy stuff. Had to change the cambelt myself, was reading the manufacturer manual, and can be lost in translation easily. I would not trust another mechanic to work on it besides myself. Parts are hard to come by, and when they do, they are super expensive. I have to sort out the miss fire problem and then OH NO! Poor idling and stalling. Try fixing that, making sure that you have enough funds in the bank to buy the part.

[@zero_to_1000]

Wheels specs?

[@ianriley9760]

It is difficult finding someone to work on these cars. The dealership by me will only work on it if the parts are not discontinued. They wouldnt even replace a few O rings for my ac lines, said the O rings were discontinued. Also body shops refuse to work on it (car has a dent on the front fender) because they are afraid of things like panels or bolts breaking and not being able to find replacements.

[@RostenDrives]

yeah it can be a real pain, lots of body shops around me will only replace parts with brand new parts, nothing used so it makes it nearly impossible to replace certain body parts

[@scottscott5827]

The inside of the windshield is a pain to keep clean. A foggy film slowly builds up. Someone said it's caused by the air conditioning.

[@RostenDrives]

I have noticed that as well

[@scottrc5391]

OMG, I forgot all about that! If memory serves, that film emanates from the dash material. I constantly had to wipe down that grime or I'd eventually wind up having to stick my head out the window like Ace Ventura to see anything.

[@angelasmith8695]

If I even mention the possibility of someone working on mine the mechanic's eyes sort of glaze over and they start twitching. I do most of my own work and doing the timing belt is actually not as bad as you think it would be.

I used to have a 1993 VR4 and I did all the work myself because of reason #2. Nobody could even change the darn spark plugs... Then I found a local Honda racing mechanic that did some of the work when I got tired of doing it. He was good, but expensive as an MD!!!

What I hate is my knee always hitting the up and down window buttons when I'm driving my 3000 GT anybody else have the same issue lol

[@wsupercool]

I had to use spacers for my front breaks

[@RostenDrives]

yeah definitely makes it easier to find wheels

[@randabuffer6562]

Cause it brakes down every time you drive it? And it’s a pain in the ass to find parts and rebuild the engine? Lol

[@ChrisEsposito]

Front: 17x9.75 Offset: 25 Backspacing: 6.4 Rear: 17x9.75 Offset: 25 Backspacing: 6.4
