Sorry People's But..................


Recommended Posts

Picked this up from the toll depot today.

The missus has been in need of a car for quite a while now but for many reasons we haven't been able to afford what we wanted. We'd finally paid off what we needed to and agreed on the car you see, this in itself took quite a while as we all know what women are like.

Its a 2001 Mitsubishi Evo VII

Its stock as a rock and goes like a cut snake, for a stock car it handles and goes so well.

I only have pics at the moment from when it was in Japan but i'll add some fresh ones this weekend.

I'm going to trial fit the rims from the skyline and see how they look tomorrow.

The skyline is still for sale too if anyone is interested!

i guess i'd better add some pics from the weekend!

used a tank of fuel (only has a 40/45L tank) did 10L/100kms and half that driving was certainly spirited.

I'm a Nissan boy at heart and think i always will be but this car is amazing.

Its stock as a rock and would beat my 250+rwkw skyline with lots of suspension mods through the hills!

Sorry about the quality of pics, they were taken on just a 2mp camera phone.

lol the last few are, ya goose! Ash you're as bad as my agents in Japan with the bonnet ajar for pics...

...oh and change your username immediately, traitor!

i still have an rb though chef, haha!

my nik on evo oz isn't mr_rbman though!

very nice mate, how long will it stay stock for? :)

and dont worry i wont think bad of you for owning a mitsy at least its not a magna :D

the missus will be driving it everyday for work so it wont get too heavily modded, probably just and exhaust and rims and maybe a remap down the track!

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
