I doubt it. The steering wheel
controls are switches on a resistor
ladder. The ladder is hooked up to
a voltage (can't remember if it's 5V
or 12V or what). So every switch
on the steering wheel produces a
different voltage, for example,
"Mute" might be 1V, "Vol up" 2V, "Vol
Down" 3V,
"Search" 4V, etc. This signal goes into the receiver,
where
the voltage is decoded into the correct action.
If the receiver
recognizes everything except vol up and down, it is much
more likely that the
voltages his steering wheel creates are not quite
the same as your radio
needs. The ideal way to resolve this is to
compare the steering wheel
resistor ladder on your car and his - I think
it's in the respective service
manual for each car. If the ladder is
different, that would be the
problem.
I think I have the schematic in my 3000GT service manual.
If someone
will email/fax me (408-721-2233, attn: Fred Hamilton) the sterring
wheel
remote schematic for a 91 Stealth, I'd be happy to do a comparison
and
see what I come up with.
If I'm right, all he'll need to do is
remove the steering wheel remote
control and tweak a few resistor
values. Hopefully.

rails

Hi
Do anyone know if it's possible to mount a fuel
rail, that is 36mm "high",
without interfering with the stock
intake plenum (on a TT)?

Say Gabe:
I bought a 94 SL about a year ago
and haven't had the pleasure of
driving the VR4 but I would highly recommend
driving both, then wait
a week and drive them both again. I miss the
punch of the turbo
but these little 220hp engines get up and go rather well
and I feel
a bit more confident with the transmission reliability of
this
5-speed transmission than with the 6-speed ones in the VR-4.
Read
about potential problems with these cars in the
archives to learn as much
about them before you buy them. I AM
happy with my car and I love
the way it handles, especially
cornering.
It is a very comfortable car and
has just the right amount of
"noise",
although the inside noise
from the engine and rear-end may be a bit
louder than with the VR-4 (I think
the VR-4 has extra
sound-proofing).

Hello everyone, I have just become a member of the list. I
was
wondering, I am getting a new car soon, and would like some
advice
on
what kind to get. I will be 18 soon, and the 3000GT VR4 and
Stealth
TT
have been my favorite cars since they first came out in 1991.
I
would
like to have one of these cars more than almost any other car in
the
world. Anyway my question is, if I get a 91 VR4/Stealth TT, and
it
has
high miles, will it be a money pit. Should I start out with the
SL
model
or base model even though they don't perform as well? I'm not
sure,
I
mean I just want to drive this car with 300HP, AWS, AWD,
everything,
it
is my dream. So, if anyone has any information or advice,
please let
me
know. Thank You
Gabe

Team3S: Vent Air-Recirc Blower Knob Flips open,94 3000gtSL
***This is the
NEW Team3S list. See message end for more info.***
Has anyone had the
problem where the Air-Recirculation control
knob (above the radio) moves by
itself from the Recirculation
position to the fresh air position when a
window is opened or
vehicle speed is increased? I believe it is most
apparent when
the blower is on. No AC is on. Is this a natural
"safety"
design in the system to force me to smell the sewage
system
plant I pass by twice a day on my commute or might something
be
restricting the Air-Recir. lever behind the dash? If I slow
down
or close the windows I can manually close the vent and the
knob will stay
closed, otherwise apparent "wind force" (from
outside air I assume)
pushes it about half way open again.
Thanks in advance. Bob
(1994 3000gt SL)

Here is a picture of the new AAM Y-Pipe! We will
have a batch of them
ready to sell within the new two weeks. They are
pretty costly to make but
I'm trying to keep the cost as close to $325 as I
can. They are made out of
aluminum and the Y-portion was designed on a
CAD machine for proper
turbulence. Give me a call 301-294-2700 if
you'd like more info. on the
Y-Pipe.
