r/3000gt

Hey guys, I just recently purchased a 96 donor 3000gt SL for a manual swap in my 92’ stealth R/T. I am trying to look into what all this job requires and I’d like some help from some of you guys that have done this job before. Anything I should need to know or buy other than the parts car? Can I run the original OBD1 ECU or should I use the new one because it’s designed for a manual car?

After 1.5 years the conversion is finaly somewhat complete.

Obviously there is still some final fitment issues to be solved.

I’m also wanting to switch out the wheels for some te37’s and a coilover set. As the original shocks have basicly bled out by this point.

And for all purist. Yes i still have all the original 96 parts, so i can still conve

Hey all LOL. Look like my listing made it way around the net and ended up here. I figured I’d post up the full listing in case anyone was SERIOUSLY interested.

Asking price is 9k firm. Location is Lincoln, CA.

Hey guys was just filling up my coolant as it was low and realised this hose had popped out, any idea where it’s supposed to go?

I've been trying to fix my 1992 dodge stealth for a few months now. I bought it back in February with a bad ecu, exhaust issues, and some other issues I'm still troubleshooting, but at least now it runs and drives well enough. I'm just glad to finally own one of my favorite cars.

I’m taking a look at my 1992 vr4 heads and I noticed that this cam sprocket slightly adjusts, is this on purpose or something else. Also are vr4 cams the same as regular 3k cams?

I have a 95 3000 GT SL spark is fine coils are fine. Fuel is fine no check engine but sometimes it’ll crank no start and then when it does start, it’ll stay on for a second but dies and also sometimes dies when you give it gas. What do I do? I’ve gone through like all of the diagnostics I could think of. need help asap and thank you in advance

UPDATE: It jumped timing by 8 teeth I appreciate all the suggestions

It has strong spark, strong fuel pressure through the injectors, and good compression on bank 1 but i can’t get it to fire on its own or with starter spray i checked the ecu for leaking caps and didn’t see bad corrosion and the ecu was rebuilt in 2018.
What else should i look for that would stop the car from firing i have compression spark and fuel

I'm looking at buying this 93 and have been sent this video by the seller telling me that the tapping noise is made by the valves being stuck, I'm presuming he means the lifters but I don't know these cars well, wondered if anyone could help me / give their opinion on what the noise is? Thanks

To preface i do not have a 3000GT or Stealth, i have a 98 Eclipse, and it has the same radio as seen in the picture in the bottom left-side. The Eclipse did have the option of getting an Infinity radio that looks exactly like the radio in the top left-side, and i think that radio setup came with an amplifier and an additional set of speakers. I assume the 3000GT probably had the same radio given this picture comes from 3SX. Now i am interested in getting a particular radio from either the 3000GT or Stealth. Its the one in the top right-side. Only thing is i don’t know if that particular radio is an Infinity radio. If my research is correct, the top-right radio is not an Infinity radio, the bottom right is an Infinity radio for the 3000GT or Stealth. If this is the case then i assume the top right radio would be plug and play since they both share the same plug-in connections in the back and my Eclipse has no amplifier or additional speakers like the Infinity radio equipped cars did. The reason why i want this particular radio is because it still has a cassette player but also analog equalizers and an aux-cord plug-in. Its difficult for me to find another radio setup that has this combo. I am in contact with someone on ebay who has that top right radio for sale, they claim the radio is out of a 92 Stealth. If anyone knows if the top-right radio is an Infinity radio or not, i’d appreciate it. I did try researching on 3si as well but the information for the different radios isn’t easy to find.

1996 3000gt FWD. This job has been nothing but a pain in my ass. I did head gaskets on this car and it wasnt this difficult. My passenger side axel will not go in farther than this. The c clip goes past the entry point but will not clip in all the way. It is a gsp axel. Idk if its just a shitty axel but it went it fine on the driver side. Ive tried every vantage point, force point available. Ive tried hammering the end in by attaching the castle nut and hammering that. Ive only got the strut removed from the knuckle. Idk if thats important, im j giving context. I dont know what the fuck to do. Desperate as shit rn. Pls help

I just bought a 92’ 3000GT VR4 (it’s actually not new to me I used to own this one 8-9 years ago) and it’s had a hell of a time, I’m looking for essentially a front clip (any color I’ll be getting the car repainted anyway) and a rear bumper cover. It’s also blown up (haven’t torn into it to see what happened) buuut I’ll cross that bridge after I make it straight again so I can pull the engine and such for paint just once.

I resently changed the transfer case on my vr4 and there's this weird ticking sound that has a bit of a rhythm it speeds up when I rev the engine personally I think it has something to do with the obvious exhaust leak I got going on back there maybe I didn't tighten down those nuts as much as I thought I did and it's now tapping but I just wanted to see what y'all think

God this car is beautiful. Had it a week and it’s already having issue 😂 power steering hose has gone, it’s sat in the shop and I’m patiently sat waiting. Can’t wait to get the project going.

Anti Lock light came on when i got in to leave work . Got home, car is off but it is still making this buzzing sound.
