This may have been discussed previously and has little relevance but why did Mitsi leave out JC in the models for you guys in Oz?
Also dont think there was a GSR-IV in the jap range? why?

JC may seem a bit blasphemous - think about it.

For the same reason Camira model designation jumped from JB to JD

ahhhh...

similar to holden leaving out vd (venereal disease) in the commodore range

I thought Commodores WERE a disease! Anyone know how to stop it? :? :D

Mazda made a JC Cosmo if i remember rightly!!! LOL

Chrylser also left out the VD Valiant, went straight from VC to VE.

meh, commodores skip groups of letters at a time.

"compensatadore"

very funny.

Ok, stupid American question here... Can someone please explain to me the differences among the JA, JB, and JD models?

Thanks.

JB have better door trims, spotlights in front bumper, rear lights are better.. Different intake manifold, turbo....

just mainly improvements over the years really...

The JD MODEL HAD LESS POWER DUE TO ULP GAS, DIFFERENT FRONT & REAR SPOILERS A 3.9 DIFF ,HORIZONTALLY MOUNTED FRONT MOUNT INTERCOOLER ,WAS SLOWER & DIFFERENT TRIM (only app 50 sold in Aust )
i'm sure someone will come up with anything I've missed /forgotten

The JD intercoolers are mounted vertically like normal. Have never seen a horizontal one in a car, only in drawings in mitsubishi manuals.

My car was dead stock original and the cooler was mounted vertical.

JD also apprantly has the bigger diff and a smaller TC-05 turbo. The washer bottles in the front are also slightly different to suit the intercooler pipes.
