I recently purchased a black 91 vr4. I live in NJ and bought it from NY. I recently sold my 06 altima se-r 6speed that i drove 1500 miles a year. The amount of driving I did didnt justify a car payment. I wanted either a hobby car or a 4 door pickup truck, but with a $3-4k budget, I couldnt get a pickup. I looked into 90s Impala SS's and Dakota R/Ts but both were hard to find and a tad out of my price range. Im far from new to 4G63s, as my first car in 1999 was a 90 talon tsi fwd that i bought for $1500 with 180k, but i was hooked since then. In my early 20s I built 2 different 12 second awds, but became bored with them. since then I messed with pwcs and bought a motorcycle, but always had the itch to still own a 4g63 car, but just couldn't live with a dsm.
I found a no sunroof 91 vr4 with 141k. JDM motor, B16g,ets fmic, 3g mas, keydiver chip running cyclone intake, 550s,rewired walbro, FP ex manifold, 3" CM turboback, and A/C removed. As far as power goes, everything is in place to run mid 12s if driven right. I have no desire to make it faster, maybe adding an afc to tune it better. The rest of the car is stock- clutch, suspension, wheels, brakes. Does have shifter bushings and grant steering wheel. 4ws is still intact. Car overall isnt in great shape, but it's serviceable. Theres no significant underbody rust, but there is a rusted out front fender, rust around windshield and backglass, and power antenna. I do autoglass for a living so cleaning that rust will be easy, same goes for antenna area, and fender replacement.
My plans for the car are to clean all the rust,it needs brakes badly,so I ordered slotted front rotors and hawk pads, and will do stock brakes in the back. I also ordered a high flow cat, for inspection reasons. I want a mild suspension for the street- just a better stance and nice 17x7 or 7.5 wheels on the 4lug hubs. The interior smells like an old ass car. I sense it leaks or leaked at some point, so I want to pull the carpet when I get a chance, get it steamcleaned and have the stiff leather conditioned. The interior is faded, but it wouldn't bother me as everything functions as it should. I want a mild street clutch with a stage 1 rebuild of the trans. Getting the body work done, painted and underbody coated will be last.
The car runs great, pulls strong and smooth, but idles low and stalls coming to stops at times. I'll look into it, but Im happy with the purchase, especially when it takes its permanent home in my garage when i buy a house within the next 6-9 months.
As for the badge number, its 1365/2000 which is odd, as I seen that badge # being parted out in florida 3 years ago, and i know this is not that car, as this cars autocheck shows it being a ny car it's entire life. I've also seen it in somebodys sig on here too. So i assume the badge was bought, but I dont get worked up over the badge because I feel that it doesnt mean much.
My ultimate goal is to have a vintage mint 80s looking car that can shake off mid to high 12's all night at the track, and can leave a vette scratching his head at a stoplight from time to time. I look foward to achieving my long term goals with this car, with the help of this forum and i'm glad to own one of the ugliest fastest cars 99% of the population has no idea about.
