    My GTO is up and running nicely

    I just bought this about a month ago or so, a 1993 Mitsu GTO Twin Turbo. I bought this car in non running shape in very bad shape.

    I think I said this once before but this isn't a GTO but a Euro spec 3000GT Twin Turbo. Hense the different lights, front bar and rear garnish. The other giveaway is the vin number The good news however is that it should have 13G turbos instead of 9b. I can't make out the full vin number but if you give it to me I can tell you the exact part number for the turbos.

    Well it is the strangest Euro Spec because it's RHD all of the other ones I have seen are just like in the US.

    Euro spec covers all of Europe which is split about 50 50 between left and right. I'll look up that vin tonight in euro asa.

    Details for your car are -

    JMAMNZ16APY000191

    Model: Z16A
    Version: MNGFR6 (PS. the R in this version number simply means RHD if it had an L it would be LHD)
    Option: T60 (no idea what option T60 is sorry)
    Exterior: XA2
    Interior: 14D

    Production Period: 1992.08.1
    3000GT(EUR)
    3000/4WD/4WS
    DOHC(TURBO/4WD/4WS),5FM/T RHD

    Turbo part numbers for your car are MD188641 (replaced with MD306222) & MD188642 (replaced with MD306226).These are different to the JDM GTO part numbers so I have to assume they are 13G. As far as I know all Euro spec 3000GT are 13G anyway so pretty safe to say they are.
