Hello All-
I have 26K miles on my VR-4 245/40-ZR-18
tires, and they are bald.
(Yoko A028s, I think.) They have really good
cornering traction. I
want to replace them with a tire that has nearly
as good cornering
ability, but doesn't wear so fast. I don't care about
wet traction, =
braking
traction, temperature and the like. Does
anyone have experience with =
tires=20
of this size that meet my
desires? I live in the south, and don't need
all-season
performance. I have an affinity for Michelin, and I think
the Pilot SX
MXX3 would be fine, but they are a little pricey to have
such a low wear
rating (about 160 I think). Helpful comments
from anyone will be much
appreciated.
Regards, ptg =20

Nope, you can run your driving lights on
only. You just turn the light
switch to parking lights and the driving
lights will operate. I did mine in
November I think so I don't remember
exactly what to cut and splice but you
can find it at the 3SI web page.

I know how to reset the ECU.
But my question is what does
cat removal cause the ECU to do to engine
operation? Does
it run richer, leaner, or what? Does it do
different things
depending on whether you have OBDI versus OBDII?

OK next to your air cleaner is a relay
box (sorry I don't know the
technical name). It's held down by 3 (10mm)
bolts. Remove the bolts
and lift the assembly so you can remove the bottom
cover. The bottom
is held on by many small notches. Remove or open the bottom
(I never
removed mine just took it about half way off). You should now be
able
to see where the wires attach to the relays and fuses. The 3rd
relay
slot from the front of the car should be the fog light relay.
There
are 4 red wires attached to it, 1 with silver dashes, 1 with a
yellow
stripe and silver dots, and 2 with a blue stripe. The one that is
on
the bottom of the relay with the blue stripe is the one you need
to
cut. Cut the wire so you have enough room to splice a new wire to
the
end of it. Cover the end of the wire not attached to the relay
anymore.
this is a hot wire, but only when your lights are on) Attach a power
wire
to the wire still attached to the relay. This power wire should be
from
something that has the same "power to" requirements that you want
your
fog lights to have. This power wire does not power your fog lights
just
the relay. I tapped into the side that provides power to the
headlight
relay to retain the walk-away feature. That should do it now just
test
it quick before you put it back together.

Subject: Re:

The Powerslots are just one way of
getting rid of that horrible shuddering when coming to a stop. Mine did
that ('92 VR-4) until I replaced with the PowerSlots. My braking is much
firmer now than with the OEM's. With the slots they are supposed to cool
much faster, with less cracking than the cross-drilled(remember supposed
to). I'd go with any aftermarket rotor like the PowerSlot or the Stillen
Cross-drilled, or if I could really afford it and do smoe massive high-speed
braking - then the BREMBO's would be my choice. The Slots are cheaper than
OEM (WHY?) and the Stillen's are about $50 more per pair. Brembo's will
cost you - looking probably upwards of $1k or more for the whole setup for
fronts only.

I've got Goodyears on mine, wear is
good, but he NOISE. the BF Goodrich TA's are good choice too. One of
the car mags (can't rememeber which) did an article last month on high-speed
tires and the Goodrich's were one of the best (wear, noise, & cost) along
with the new Michelins (but they cost a whole lot more than others).

Hi Paul;
I can only speak to the first
generation ECU's... perhaps someone else can comment on
the latter edition.
I have found main cat removal (I still have precats) gives
an
occasional small backfire when letting off the gas under aggressive
acceleration. This
is the unburnt gas/vapour which is normally
handled by the main cat and it is is not a
problem, as no problem in
operation has ever been detected. I understand that this even
occurs with cat
back installations, so perhaps a slightly rich situation occurs with our
cars
under normal conditions. Other than this there is no detectable glitch with the
car
or ECU, and the ECU adjustments (if any) for the cat's
absence seem to have it
running in top form. . I have been running from Day
One this way with no detectable
problem.

Team3S: Rally Mitsu
I just watched the Express desert rally in Nevada on
Speedvision, and John
Argyl, in a Mitsu from New Zealand, was winning it
until the snow came on
the last day of the 3-day rally. Then, John Sprongl,
Canadian rally
champion, blew the Mitsu away. Sprongl was the only car that
brought snow
tires, and he was untouchable in his 400 hp Audi Quattro in the
snow.
If you spot this show (ref. 1) in your TV listing, tune it in. It's
very
interesting on three counts:
1. You'll get to see some REAL
racing. Rallying is the toughest automotive
sport there is, the most
challenging for a driver, and the most fun I've
ever had with my clothes on.
On one stage, the leader maintains a 90 mph
average down a twisty forest
road. Whoa!
2. You'll get to see a 300 hp Mitsu AWD sedan of some
sort going like
gangbusters, and sounding like a machine gun when the
wastegates or BOV or
whatever start popping at high rpm. This particular car
is the NZ rally
champion in Class A (not the faster Open class, like
Sprongl's Quattro).
3. At the very end, you'll see Sprongl spin the
most amazing doughnuts in
his Audi Quattro. He spins that sucker around in
its own length three times
as fast as Zanardi spins the CART car, with all
four wheels just a'smokin!
I've never seen anything like it. Wonder if we can
do that in our VR4s?
I'd like to find an early VR4 cheap, pull out the
drivetrain, mod it up to
about 600 hp, install it in a 1500 lb Mitsu sedan,
and then take my
homemade Group B rally car and go kick some butt on the pro
rally circuit.
Or maybe run Pikes Peak. It's been many years since my last
major rally
(the Press on Regardless FIA world championship), but I've always
wanted to
do it again...this time with something a little faster than my
old
stock-engined Datsun 510. I'll bet, with all the expertise on this list,
we
could solve all the little technical problems, such as increasing
the
ground clearance.
Sigh. Nostalgia just isn't what it used to
be.
Rich/old poop/94 VR4
1. Alas, I checked the Speedvision
listing for next week. Although it was
on 417 times this week (I watched it
twice), it's not on at all next week.

245/40-ZR-18 tires, and they are bald.

tire that has nearly as good cornering

fast. I don't care about wet traction,

this size that meet my desires? I live in the south, and don't

have

comments

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Please recommend ... PowerSlot
I never got warped rotors with the
bigger EU ones. I had to replace the fron
rotors beginning 98 and also necer
had a problem with them. But they started to
fade sooo extremely quick taht
braking at 150mph became very dangerous. I then
jumped onto a GP on GT
Rotors, not slotted nor cd but dimpled. They immediatly
stopped better,
especially in rain. But after the first two hard brakings from
very high
speeds they got heavily warped and never returned to the good way !
The
Stillen ones are the same but crossdrilled and also cinc washed. Also
the
PowerSlot are the very same but slotted and, afaik, not cinc
washed.
I finally went the expensive way and bought the Swiss/Italian
Bremsa cd/slotted
discs mounted on aluminum hubs. In fact they are not really
crossdrilled because
the holes where already in the core and are jsut
finished afterwards. The
combination with the German Pagid RS (orange) pads
works very good on stops but
I also got a warped feeling after hard brakings.
But the warping goes away when
they are heated up as well as when braking
very hard. Due to the slots you'll
get a very loud grinding sound when
breaking down from very high speeds. For
pictures or more go to my brakes
page.
I still haven't tested the very new Mevius miu-pads as they seem to
be more
resistant to the slotted rotors than the Pagids. I just hope to find
time to do
everything I want on my car ;-)
For a real good setup (the
2nd best) choose the $$$-Porsche setup or a Brembo
that works. Unfortunately
the Brembo setup from Stillen uses their own rotors
and they are not that
good. Also they do have some problems with their kit for
our cars (some work
properly some not). The best is a conversion with ap 6-pod
calipers and huge
discs from the Nissan Skyline. This is the best you can get if
your wallet is
about $6000 or more thick. The Porsche setup from Mov-It is
available for
about $3000 only front,
http://www.ultimategarage.com/bigbrake1.html.
The link to the 3000GT setup is
not valid as they do not have the pictures
ready but the kit is available.
BTW, the Bremsas work wonders in the rear
! My brakings on the test-track 2
weeks ago where better than on every other
car (track was wet)
Good braking,
Roger

ATTN: EVERYONE
I too am
looking for an aftermarket warranty! If any of you
know anything about
where I can purchase one for a decent
price PLEASE let me know. My
local dealership wants almost
$3000, and this is quite out of my
budget. Allstate does not
sell warranties in Washington State, and Auto
Advantage stopped
selling warranties for the VR4. I have been told that
many other
companies also have stopped covering the VR4 (I wonder
why...)
even though these companies still sell warranties for Porsches
and
Ferraris. If I cannot find an aftermarket warranty I will
certainly
sell my car in the near future.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Subject: Re:
Team3S: Gremlins in the Car, update
Thanks to everybody who responded to
my Gremlin syndrome :)
Unfortunately, the problem cannot be reproduced
and my test-drives didn't showed
anything abnormal.
One important
thing to mention is the BOV setup. I still have the HKS S-BOV
installed but
after the rebuild I changed some very small. Due to the huge
amount of oil in
the intake parts (including the manifold) I had to clean
everything (the
solenoids of the Blitz where totally soaked but still worked
perfectly)
During this procedure I removed the small air filter in the hose
between the
manifold and the BOV as it was soaked from oil. Since then, it seems
that the
BOV acts too quick, opening and closing and the filter makes this
somewhat
slower. I never thought about this when searching the odd behavior of
the
cruise control when it goes up to the preset speed and releases the
throttle
when reached it. At this time the car seems to have a short
hesitation and this
changed slightly after readjusting the BOV. I now
installed this filter again to
see how it acts then.
I keep you
updated,
Roger

Subject: Team3S:
Cruise and throttle position sensor
Hi all,
I had a few questions
about my cruise control not working.
I followed the diagnostic procedure
for cruise control in the shop manual.
I got one long pulse and then four (4)
short pulses, which indicates a
fault. Problem is, there is no code
like that in the book. It goes from 3
short to 5 short.
Because
it is acting like another car I used to have (it had a bad TPS),
I
decided to check the throttle position sensor. I checked it, and it
does
not always come back to the same resistance, making me think its
bad. Has
anyone measured a bad one? I called and a TPS is about
$150, so I want to
be sure before I replace it.
Does anyone happen to
know if these two items could be related?
Thanks in
advance,
Neil
