Any GTO MR's being parted?

[autopsycho]

Im on the lookout for a Gen 2 (Z15A) GTO MR ECU and possibly the engine harness too. Please let me know if youre aware of anyone around parting out one. Would be of great help. Cheers.

I think you will struggle Arush. We dont get many GTO's wrecked here let alone an MR. Will still keep my eyes peeled.

Shouldnt be any difference between an MR and GTO ecu and the engine loom. Anything that's not hooked up like ABS, AWS, cruise control and the like is usually just terminated back on itself, far as I know.

(that and they only made 500 of them over 10 years kind of makes the vehicle itself pretty scarce)

Yeah man, im getting edgy now. My TT conversion (On a '96 SR) is close to completing and im still stuck on the ECU front.

I am however getting a '97 Euro 3000GT ECU & Harness, im wondering if i should go ahead and pick it up. Like you said, the ABS, ECS & Cruise Control shall remain not connected, everything else should match up.

On the engine side it shouldnt be a problem but anyone has a clue if the body harness connectors remain the same? I think its risky with the connections to the instrument cluster because of all the addons. What say?

Sadly, and this is with a good amount of regret, I am forced to part out my '98 GTO MR. I have both the harness and ECU if you are interested.

I have everything else except the drivetrain and longblock for sale as well.

Shit. What happened man?

Kinda long story, but can sum it up;

GTOs are not approved/road legal for use in Norway because they lack european crash tests or atleast documents on such matter. They also lack every other ECE documents as well. Even though they are all manufactured at the same plant in Japan with the same unibodys and specs, GTO's are not road legal because of this.

For me to get the car legal I would have to buy another 100% identical (model/year/specs) and have it tested and finally crashed down in Germany by TÜV. Oh yeah, I'd have to pay for it too of course. About $160 000 and upwards. Just for one car. And the road legal docs will only apply to the twin car of the car tested, so a bunch of owners could not get together to split the bill to have a dozen cars approved.

So, part out time.
Atleast I have 3 VR-4's that are approved and legal. Too bad this gem of a car wont be on the road again though

no- get it registered in germany..it would run you about 1100 euros (i have a Tüv guy that specialises in jdm cars..ive taken fairlady zs,gtbs,supras,soarers etc to him,all no prob)

after the car is reged here,drive it back to norway and get her regged there.. as if you just bought a car from germany.


i can help you with this process - ive brought over a few aristos to germany(and jdm supras+rx-7s)from the UK
