AWDToyota Check your PM's

[kairles]

is there any aftermarket variable/active center differential like the one the STI has available for the 3000gt/stealth or any other AWD car

[SpeedWise]

mechamits i can always tell you how to make them but i dont do them for people and stuff i just work on that 3000gt with him because he works on my car with me he is one of my good friends ( dont take it bad or anything it's just that im starting college soon and i need to move for a year and since im only going to be 18 i wont be able to afford a garage to work where ill be...) but i can always PM you how to make them and also answer all of your questions you have regarding them ( they really arent that hard to make , if you dont believe me the ones on the 3000GT are the first ones i made before these either me or him had ever worked on fiberglass or carbonfiber ) Props on your car it is really nice ill PM you how to make it if you want me to

kairles i might be mistaking on this question but i think the VR4 3000GT comes stock with a Viscious Variable center lock dirrerential. if someone knows for sure maybe they could correct me or ..

[mechamits]

Thanks for the reply SpeedWise, and to answer your last post, yes, the center diff is viscous-locking, I don't know about it being variable though, also most early VR-4s have the limited-slip rear diff, but later it was a factory option.
Did your friend carry-over the All-Wheel-Steering and electronic suspension on his 3000GT from the VR-4?

Thats awesome man, that woulda been alot of work!
You both did a great job on it.

I'm going to jump on this topic like dumb on Jessica Simpson. Well first, nice car. But if you (or your friend) are seriously going to enter this car in drift events, I don't think they allow audio systems of any kind. Also, the car has to be 2WD not 4WD.

You should convert back to SL, but then again, it'll be a FWD. Do the math: 4WD + audio systems - rollcage = no qualification. By the way, you forgot another awesome feature of the VR-4 which is 4WS.

[Ziptyed]

not my favorite model, but very well done, i always loved white and tan look, and nice rims.

[SpeedWise]

ill start off with Ripper, the sound system is easily removable in less than 20 minutes, the carbon finer box is simple remove , and as for the 4wheel steering it was removed and we made a custom system to replace it that lets us change the toe in/toe out and the camber . For the rollcage we know he needs one to get in any kind of serious motorsports but euther me or him knew what a rollcage had to have to be legal, and i've seen some AWD evos and WRX in drift comps in videos but for D1 to be honest i have no idea if it is legal.

mechamits the all wheel steering question was answered in my reply to Ripper, and the electronic suspention is the normal and sport setting right, well if it was it has been removed and the same with the exhaust it had a switch for normal or sport which was also removed since it has a straight pipe exhaust. and he has a limited slip rear diff.

[NextBoost]

Ok a 2 ton drifter.

So how much did the sl to VR4 cost you and why the hell did you do it.

[SpeedWise]

it didnt cost that much around 6000$CDN and we did it because he wanted a 400hp 3000GT

[NextBoost]

What kind of engine mods did you do? Still using the stock turbos?

[SpeedWise]

NextBoost it's not my car it's my friends but i help build and the turbos are indeed stock , it has a straight pipe exhaust (Turbo engine so gains a fair amount of HP) , a manual boost controller and thats pretty much it for now...

It's all good then . As long as you know what's going on.

Thanks for the replies Ripper but you talked about the roll cage could you help me to know what a roll cage need to be legal in motorsport events or point me out someone who could help me? because it might be a nice winter project ...
