Conversion GSR 1.8 Turbo (4G93T) - Wira/Satria/Putra

[gunnerzz]

the pads are same. his car using 5 lugs. calipers sama saja..

VR4/Pajero/V6 using same pads?
In that case its the same as the Mitsubishi Delica van oso.
Will be a weird list 'VR4/Pajero/V6/Delica'

Instead of going to the part shop and mentioning we want VR4 pad, we can try to say Delica pad...most probably can get cheaper.

i dont know if delica the same. hahaha. like at works engineering website, the pads are same for Evo 1/2/3 Twin Pot / Pajero 3.0 V6 92/95 / Airtrek Turbo (Twin Pot).

I go PH Auto ask for VR4 pads, he give me Pajero V6 pads......lol

 

[parakey]

VR2 ask for VR4 pads but gets V6 ones? Semua pun V juga

 

[gunnerzz]

Ah...its Pajero V6...
the post by niklys written 'pajero/v6'.
mine is LO47 2.6 petrol. That V6 model could be using different pad.

Many models shares parts to cut cost......

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

same like subaru wrx 4 pot (non brembo) brake pad same as
-skyline gtr r32 (non brembo)
-fairlady z32
-1st model hilux/land cruiser prado
-nissan silvia s13/s14

and a few others more....

I have one question about my gearbox. It’s worth noting that my gearbox is 4-speed automatic from 4g93t. Next to my handbrake lever, i have a button which signifies power, eco, and hold. Power allows higher rev before gear shifts, and eco does the opposite. But what does the “Hold” button do?

Should be hold it in the gear, not allowing it to change until you disengage the button

like what @vr2turbo said. it holds the gear and not allow the gearbox to shift up. good for steep hills. mine i use back my FWD gearbox buttons. only have PWR and ECO. what i can tell is on PWR, the gearbox is a lot more sensitive on the throttle response. on ECO, mine doesnt let me downshift, and it upshift at 2.2k rpm. ahahaha

I thought both position can up and down shift, only pwr changes at higher rpm......??

 

[leinnz]

for mazda 2 i own previously, hold button means drop 1 gear down.
lest say D mode, it will use max 3rd gear and wont use the 4th
D3 will use max 2nd gearing.

mine a bit weird. i think the tcu doesnt communicate that well with my single cam ECU. hahaha.

ECU override TCU......fight for control......lol

Alright. Will play around the Power, Eco, and Hold button once car is ready to run. So, Eco modes allows the gear to shift at 2k+-, where as Power Mode allows higher rev prior to gear shift automatically. But Power Mode makes the gearbox more sensitive? Hmmmmm. I believe the throttle control is by wire, unlikely Power Mode would affect throttle response, isn’t it?

 

[niklys]

Another question, my car roof seems to be a little sore to the eyes, both exterior and interior. My foreman managed to get a steal of this sunroof for me, and charge me only for workmanship. Estimated cost is rm800 in total for the roof and workmanship. I’m tempted to go for it. Any words of wisdom to share?

Changing gears at high revs gives you more power, utilizing the engines power. Does not change the throttle response.....

As for sun roof, it is personal. Some will like, some don't, and especially will you be using it?
The cons are whether it will leak, then again the welding points will it rust and/or weak the roof structure...

i shift it like a manual. ahahaha.

u know how these autobox works right? yes, the throttle is control by wire but u know what is there bolted to your butterfly at the throttle body? the TPS sensor. ECU reads your throttle opening via the TPS and also the MAF sensor. the TCU reads signals from the ECU and then controls the voltage and pulse sent to the solenoid in the valve body there. so yes, in PWR mode, your gearbox will be more sensitive on your throttle response.

oh yeah, the does not change the throttle response. i said the gearbox will be more sensitive on the throttle response. haha

Not much chance to play with it, as both cars left at home are manual........lol

haha. for my slowpoke single cam, there's a huge difference in response between PWR and ECO.

Yah! before VR transplant was 2.0i single cam auto got that button too......lol

A few things to consider. Leaking roof, poor welding job, creaky noisy joints due to bad weld, and if it does leak - your interior will get really badly affected.

Yeah, i was saying that imo the gearbox mode wont affect the throttle response since it’s controlled by wire and that the gearbox mode merely tweaks the gearbox shifting behavior to requiring higher revs prior to gear shift.

Though, sanekit has a good point there about the TPS+MAF sensors and TCU/ECU ability to read our throttle input and affecting our throttle response sensitivity.
