Changing platforms, 3000GT VR4 to Evo X
Will dealers just update the ECU without making a big deal out of it? Would they charge anything for that?
Also what do you guys pay for a transmission fluid change? I assume you guys do your own oil changes?

I say to the OP, forget it. Get a GTR!
Hey Yoshi! I decided to go for the X over my VR-4, as you know.
1. The maintenance is about the same as my VR-4 was (maybe cheaper considering I'm not swapping trans fluid every other month lol).
2. Make sure the fuel pump relay is working correctly and the FPR hose is still attached. Make sure all the normal maintenance was taken care of.
3. Less than 8k to get 400AWHP. An FP Red would get you there very reliably with a fuel pump, injectors, exhaust/intake/FMIC, and a tune.
4. If you're not pushing over ~350WTQ at low RPM, very reliable. After that the rods can start to fail. Heck, you could probably upgrade the rods along with the above mods and still be at a reasonable price.
I still miss my VR-4

I'd be looking at cars in a different price range.I'm loyal to Mitsubishi as well. I thought about getting a BMW 1M, but I would just much rather have an evo.
