Would just like to formally claim the shittiest driving gvr4 on this site, the rust and previous workmanship is unmatched. Swapped the starter and dissembled the shifter today. Shifter now has 4 more bushings than it did as I got it. Cleaned and regreased everything. Was missing the bushings for...

Decided I will not ask anymore preemptive questions… believe I found the issue. 2/4 missing, other two finger tight. Replaced when I found it but I’m getting oem replacement bolts since I couldn’t find exact copies at the hardware store.

Not really sure how these forums work and I don’t want to flood the front page with all my questions. So I’ll post updates or questions (probably more questions) relating to my car.So with that being said… with the rear brakes and e brake fixed I finally got the car registered and street...

Working on replacing one of the side marker lights and noticed whenever I turn them or the headlights on the condenser fan kicks on with them. As soon as I turn the lights off so does the fan. Key was turned to accessory. I’ve never seen anything like this and I don’t know why that would be...

Would take that in a heartbeat but unfortunately out of my price range for now after getting this one :/

Yes and I saved his info. He said his galant (the one you saw photos of) has rotted rockers as well. He also said he just got a new shell from Florida rust free, but plans on swapping his parts over to it. If I can save up some money I might call him back eventually about his new shell.

Haha was worth a shot, no ratchet straps for me… yet

If you’re ever looking to sell shoot me a message. Looks like I may be needing a new body lol

Yes it was. Knew the rockers were rotted but definitely a lot more work than I was expecting. This car has seen a lot of hands. Drivetrain is good though. Didn’t pay 6 but prob still overpaid a good bit at 4 unfortunately. Wanted a gvr4 badly and took a leap, lesson learned.

1930/2000So far I’ve just replaced the radiator fan and repaired some wires to keep it from overheating. Car runs and drives. Right now I have to remount the power steering pump which the previous owner left in the back seat, find a reservoir, and probably replace the steering rack. No rear...

Thanks, I appreciated the reply regardless

After jiggling the key in the ignition for a while and spraying a bit of lube in the keyhole it broke free. Guess I might be needing a new key and ignition at some point.

Gave it a shot and no luck, key won’t turn with any position of the wheel.

Just finished replacing some wires and my radiator fan and I go to start the car and the key won’t turn and the steering wheel will jiggle about an inch back and forth until it hits a solid stop on both sides. The wheel is straight not turned far to one side. I’ve tried turning the key while...

Aftermarket switch, you'll have to ask the previous owner and or trace the wires. Not related but where has your battery been rerouted?

Looking at another car today. Possible donor car for my rusted rockers and various other holes that need patching. Car is listed as a 1990 gvr4, over texts owner says it’s a 1989 and only 2000 imported (I know that’s just the 91s) but it doesn’t have the badge. I’m not sure they know exactly...

After some more digging into the service manual pdfs I answered my own question on the PS rack. Still wondering if there's another OEM reservoir that could be a direct replacement though.

Well I brought her home yesterday and started going over the car. It's 1390/2000. Must've had a few hands in it since I got it. The side marker wires are cut for some reason, and I noticed the rear steering has been deleted, the rear line is plugged. Lots of rust and shot bushings. At first my...

Awesome thank you for the help!

Very new here. Was looking to know what goes into replacing the rocker panels on a 91 GVR4. Rockers are rotted right up to the pinch welds, but further in is solid. I would probably have to cut just inside of the pinch welds. With that being said, two questions...Does anyone make direct...

Hello everyone, if everything goes well tomorrow I will be bringing home a 91 GVR4 I recently took a look at. This will be my first JDM, until now I've only owned and worked on Jeeps. After reading the new owners post, I'm probably on the younger side (22). Don't worry, I only have good...
