Has anyone used a Mitsubishi
 

Hi guys im looking at different engine options over here in kiwiland, as the sierra is pretty thin on the ground here, so was looking at the Mitsubishi 4G63 and 5 speed box in RWD format,.
Has anyone over in England or further used this engine/box combo.
Diff combo im using is either a Subrau, or a Nissan Skyline ( cheap as over here )

Skyline or 200sx would be a good choice for diff & driveshafts, as the rear wheel bearing is mounted in a housing, similar to the Sierra, so the rear uprights could be adapted to to suit with little effort. Rear track on the Skyline isn't too far apart either.

Kind regards

John

I have built a roadster with a skyline R200 diff and hubs, axles etc. They all fitted well, but they were very heavy.. diff is 45 kgs on its own... I have subsequently replaced them with a wrx rear diff (22kgs), legacy axles and bolt on hubs from a later model legacy... total weight saving over 30 kgs all up. The legacy hubs are a lighter version of the nissan ones. The axles and cv's are much lighter and also have a better design. The rear track is almost identical to the nissan...
