Every 3000GT/Stealth is always being worked on lol. It's part of being in the 3S community

[@RekkGames]

Not only do I like the channel, but I love what is going on with throtl, it's an all around beneficial channel to watch/be a part of.

[@daniel1997gsx]

theres a reason you dont see too many of these on the road these days, they're an absolutely nightmare to work on. Goodluck with the build, fun cars when they actually work!

[@Jay-iw5bn]

A nice bayside blue would look awesome on the E36 !!. btw i love this transition at 7:26 lol

[@OtomoTenzi]

Yeargh, but that's only after you've spent $10,000 on fixing it first...

[@youknowimwhite]

Stoked it’s not another 240 build! In fact, I haven’t seen any KZbinr build one of these. I’m genuinely stoked for this!

[@ImpactedWorld]

Project looks awesome, but it was a lot of clickbait. You didn't make a 5k mitsubishi into a 10k, you're beginning a project of doing it. So yeah it's neat, but the title leaves one expecting the results of the transformation.

[@fauners9365]

At 4:30 am i the only one that heard 804 000 kms ??

[@TheM00ch]

FauneRs I reminded it 10 times. That’s what it sounded like. Haha

[@johnathancrumm]

Heard the same

[@MatthewBogert]

Guess I wasn't the only one who heard that!

[@Nperez1986]

I heard the same...that's 499,500 miles on a transmission...and it looks like that? Most likely it's less than half that. I wouldn't care, I would just rebuild it to be safe. Most "JDM" shop advertise "low" miles but don't know the true mileage unless they have the paper work. Maybe he meant 84,000 kms? I'm sure they ran through the gears manually

[@acadiaallison3495]

he said A hundred and four thousand kms meaning 104000

[@Brayitam]

nice team TJ! congrats bro for your channel and love your cars!!!!

[@mcdouglecaleb]

Recommend a spec clutch with a lightweight flywheel

[@joegrounds4198]

Yoooo my uncle had a that same car but red i loved that thing

[@throtl]

Joe Grounds we love it so far!!! 👌🏼🔥

[@GermanEliteTuning]

Thats a bummer the trans has to be replaced. make sure to go over everything while replacing it. make sure to check the turbos shaft play and if they are worn you should replace them then. The car looks really good tho.

[@throtl]

German Elite Tuning thank you! Was definitely a bummer 👎🏼 - but overall happy with finding this car!

[@GermanEliteTuning]

Your very welcome. That's a good. That is the most important thing

[@lzeel-jg3hn]

German Elite Tuning I see your everywhere bruh

[@jeffreybastian1331]

Lol what I find funny is that you guys don’t mention anything engine related (timing belt, etc) that’s the weakness of the car, the vr4 is by no means a bulletproof engine it bends valves upon regular use.😂😂😂 good luck

[@daltonstewart5930]

I am glad you do the classics.

[@adrianmendez6424]

So stocked on the VR4, glad to see something different. Love mitsu projects

A stage 3 clutch is perfect as long as the turbo is fully functional.👌

[@stock97vr-43]

Gorgeous, we have the same color! My stock 1997 VR-4 is coming up on 82,000miles, I ran a best of 13.19@105mph at the strip!

[@jajajoey9503]

So stoked for this build! I'm gonna restore my dad's 3000gt for him within the next year or two. It's the same color as yours but a 97 and a base model. Can't wait to see how yours comes out.

[@kaleb5426]

I just got a black 97 base model for 800 like 2 weeks ago, how did your dad's car go

[@jajajoey9503]

@@kaleb5426, great for you bekuz that is cheap! Unfortunately I never got around to my dad's car. I ended up just building my evo 8 😅. Although, gonna start restoring my dad's car little by little this coming new yr.

[@o044k]

@@kaleb5426 hows your 3000gt going for you, just got one as my first car for $1700. 96 base model, kinda worried about potential repair and maintenance costs though ive heard it gets pretty expensive and i dont have a lot of car knowledge to work on it myself😭

[@kaleb5426]

@@o044k I got my tranny rebuilt my reverse band went out (thankfully once I got home it went out) they do have transmission problems but I was around 200k miles. It all depends on how you drive really. I haven't had to do motor work beside basic necessities. Best thing you can do without much car knowledge is look up how to fix whatever it is. I have also needed to do basic suspension work but once again 200k miles on it, it is just basic necessities. I am sure I will probably have to do a water pump eventually and a timing belt. Realistically the best thing I could say is don't run the piss out of it and you'll be just fine. It isn't as bad as people say.

[@BoostedPastime]

It's very nice to see one of these cars especially one that's a VR4. They are getting quite rare nowadays

Return of the Evan Shrekerman

[@ThatOneVr4]

Stock clutch disc is good. Just upgrade the pressure plate. I personally run a Latitude 42 performance 2800lb kit in my vr4. It's good for 450-500awhp. It's just a stock disc and a 2800lb pressure plate. Also go with an OEM throw out bearing for that clutch, don't even fool with aftermarket ones. I'm at 350awhp and launched the car at the track 15 times with launch control at 4K rpm. Clutch is still holding great.

[@artyfuffkin7805]

The Getrag Transmissions are factory service only no parts available. Check the transfer case splines they rust and destroy the Trans and Trans. Case with clutch $9500 I recommend silicon adhesive in the splines to keep water out

[@nate7906]

1998 is the rarest year for the 3000GT VR-4! Only 231 were produced. Only 20 1998 3000GT VR-4s we’re produced in the color you have which is New Zealand Green Pearl. In all New Zealand Green Pearl was only available for the 1998 and 1999 model years with only 36 made in that color.

[@lawboy777]

Please wrap the M3 Estoril blue - that colour is sensational on Beemers!!

[@ralphburrows8073]

Hey just a heads up but Dodge made a car called the Stealth that ran many of the same parts as that car. I remember as a kid growing up i wanted one of these so bad, as my neighbor owned a White Dodge Stealth RT Twin Turbo. If you put a turbo back system on that car it will liven things up for sure, I would highly recommend doing so.

[@stock97vr-43]

A downpipe and a boost controller set to a (safe) 15/16psi on a 1994 and up Stealth RT-TT / VR-4 will net mid 12's @ 110mph plus in the quarter!

[@sargera1]

it was a rebadge of 3000gt / mirage

[@nickfury1279]

The 3000GT and Stealth are the same car, just with a different front and rear fascia. They were even made in the same plant in Nagoya, Japan.

I tried daily driving my stealth rt tt but it had so many problems even tho it only had 80k miles. Had to let her go. Fun car but I couldn't afford the upkeep

[@columbiariverdetailing1943]

[@MylesSeptember]

Why you shave man,but anyway I'll be here until the build is done, can't wait man to see the finished result

[@danhammond9066]

Price is going up in the USA. A clean nice stock AWD twin turbo 94-96 years are selling between $20,000-$30,000 today. Hard to find a stock version of these cars in good condition. A lot of back yard mechanic specials can still be found cheap. The Second gen seem to have the most resale value/ most demand. I have a 95 VR4 stock with 165,000 miles I drive daily all original everything even climate control works like new. and a 91 VR4 I bought at an auto auction from a collector. It has 2,790 original miles on it. I have it stored. I start it once a month but it never moves. Car is perfect condition. Not even a scratch on the paint. Tires are still original but are cracking from age. Tires are 27 year old after all.

[@DonJr_]

Almost brand new gearbox with only 804.000 km😂

[@throtl]

+Don Jr. 104.000km!

[@gavmillz8285]

He said “a hundred” not “eight hundred”

[@DylanS0sure]

paint : keep it stock, just 800 grit lay a candy or pearl on top, good clear and wet sand. If you guys plan on changing color, i'd do mint green.

[@columbiariverdetailing1943]

Also be sure to give a slight bore on the hydraulic lifters there isn't enough oil flow threw the stock bore

[@captiansparkles8139]

Wow Evan you really look much younger without the beard

[@misterboost4446]

If you can find one go with an RPS Max Street Disk Clutch. Best Single plate clutch made for these cars. Will hold 580+lb/ft and has a nice pedal feel without much added effort. Great street clutch. For short shifter, get what is called a Seattle Bearing loaded short throw shifter. BEST shifter made for these cars. While you are in there install some solid Shifter base bushings and Solid shift cable bushings (under the hood linkage at the bell housing).

[@throtl]

Project Car Builds thanks for the tip!

[@PetrucciIsKing]

I have the rps street Max in my vr4 and it is great. RPS and also Southbend clutches have a great reputation in the 3s community.

[@laddn17]

I have rebuilt this trans syncro is probably rounded. They are crap metal. Replace the output shaft to the 600m or you will have that trans out again. I have a speco stage 3+ unsprung in it. Probably would get a sprung one today if buying again. Traffic jams blow with it hahaha

[@satanlivesinmyhead]

if you havent already do main bearings and seals on the motor. my 3000gt/gto had main bearings go out and now its uber expensive to fix or replace.

[@columbiariverdetailing1943]

I had a spec 3s clutch kit worked awsome

As someone who has to deal with the BS of the MT82 trans which has poop synchros, my tip to you is grind it til you get it lol

[@FUNKOfilms]

I bought mine with a bad synchro on the 3rd gear. I just learned to double clutch and boom. No more grinding. I'll work on the trans eventually but I'm definitely doing a timing belt job and head gasket first.

[@EB240]

Seems like alot of work for a fancy magna

[@Brock_Landers]

I would definitely do downpipes and full 3" or larger exhaust. Maybe even some upgraded turbos. Those 11b turbos have to be holding that thing back. 325 hp has to feel like shat in that heavy of a car.

[@stock97vr-43]

Not really - bone stock 1994 and up VR4s run 0 to 60 in 4.8s on average, and the 1/4 mile in 13.0s to 13.3s @c 101 to 105mph. Fast enough to dispatch a lot of 2018 cars. I ran a 13.19@104.7mph in my stock 97 VR4. My modded 94 VR4 runs 10s. Stock 1999 VR4 running a 13.2 @ 103 mph:kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHeoip6dhL-XeZY

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they sold you a 5 speed transmission. The 6 speed transmission has an iron housing on the transfer case. The one you have is aluminum. The 6 speed transmissions also have a counter weight on the shifter arms. The transmission you showed doesn't have one.

[@mehrshadvr4]

It's important for you to know jdm 6 speed has a different final drive than usdm 6 speed so you either have to replace the final drive or replace the rear diff with a 5 speed vr4. If you don't, the center differential will burn up.

[@throtl]

+mehrshadvr4 I thought I could swap to the USDM ring and pinion?

[@mehrshadvr4]
