Forum: 380 DB Series I - Series III

Hi guys - new to this site - great information! Thinking about purchasing a 380 Series III VRX. Interested in your thoughts on this deal Silver automatic 11,000kms Build September 2007 Sunroof Leather seats

On the way home tonight I glanced at the rev counter which seemed to be barely moving. When I got home I revved the engine but the needle only rose 'slowly' to about 2000 rpm even though I knew it was around 5000 rpm mark. Any ideas Cheeers

Hi guys, my 380's engine light now displays and stays on after car being stationery for 1 month. It was started once during this time but not driven. Car only started 2nd time i turned the key, struggled the 1st time. Tappets were also very noisy but went quieter as engine warmed and oil...

Hi guys.. I drive an automatic 380 (series 2) ES. I recently got my car serviced at 95k km mark (the usual oil change, suspension lubrication..) and now its at 98k km mark. Since yesterday, whenever I start my car (after a long interval), the car takes a 2-3 extra seconds to start rather than...

Ok my 380 has earnt its stripes....and i really mean earnt it....Decided to track the car and all i can say is WOW....With the right set of tyres/brakes and driver you can really have fun at the track with these things, i was breathing down the necks of evos/rexies/skylines/v8s and hondas...with...

Has anyone had a drivers side seat belt squeak so loud that you can hear it over the sound system. Mine is very annoying, it sounds like a spring being stretched then relaxed. Can this part be repaired or do I have to find one from the wreckers?

My old man just bought one of these bad boys. I like it, very impressive. But what on gods name is going on with that silver plastic dash where the stereo, climate control go. Looks cheap n awful. They could have at least gone for the imitation wood look. Anyway other than that I love it & as soon...

Guys I have a series 2 VRX manual, I am a little unhappy with it! The main concearn is the revs at highway speed at 110-115kph it sits very close to 3000rpm! which is a little high for my liking or am i spoiled by previously driving a 5.7L 6 speed SS ute? It is screaming for a 6th gear...

I'm getting a misfire on cylinders 1 & 3. can someone post which cylinders are numbered what. thanks.

I was reading a thread the other day where some of you guys did the conversion from auto shifter to the leather boot from a manual. I went o my local mitsi dealer and apparently the price has come down a little, I got the boot and screws for just under $20. Yeah yeah I know it's only $4 but it all...

Anyone else had this happen? Our 380 decided to go forward when reverse selected (like being in drive). Kept on doing this despite putting the selector in neutral and park. Engine off fixed it. Hopefully just an electronic glitch? Steve

Hey guys, So MMAL in their infinite wisdom have changed to some weird plug for speaker connections on the 380 as opposed to the common automotive electrical connector used on the Magna. Does anybody know if the plugs and sockets used on the 380 for its speakers are a common size or can be...

I have this rusty rotor. https://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/r663/Vaibhav_Singhal/2013-05-10170335_zpscec5f658.jpg Can anyone recommend cleaning it up. I was thinking of using WD40, but not sure if its a good idea as I don't want to end up damaging the wheels.

Hi folks. I've been enjoying my new 380 Platinum lately but the one thing I miss from my old car is the amateur gear I had in it. Is there anyone who has installed or have two-way radio (etc) gear in their 380 and have any ideas? There's just so little space and to make things more...

Does anybody else have this problem? When indicating for a turn (ie pushing the indicator stalk up or down for left or right turn), sometimes after the turn has been completed (and car has straightened up again and indicator stalk cancels) the cut off is strong enough to send the stalk lightly...
