Just giving you a heads up :P

I've just finished my application for the Legnum VR-4 (EC5W) and their Galant sedan counterparts to be approved for import under the SEVS regulations. Should have an answer in a month or so. They're coming to get ya'!

lol. only way that could keep up with a double unicorn would be if you had twin ramjets in the roof locker.

hahahahahahaha.

I woulnt compare the legnum with anything other than the 260rs, the whole twin turbo thing has to vs nissan twin turbo power.

A legnum is a twin turbo (3000GT engine), 4wd manual wagon thing :wub:

I wouldnt give up the availability of parts for the nissan over the legnum, as the legnum wouldnt have any SK group buys or anything :P

I have driven both the tt Legnum and the 260rs in stock trim. The 260 will own it every time. The Legnum is a nice looking car though, I'd hate to work on one though.

lol - look at them all jump in to defend!

I used to own an EC5A Galant VR-4, as far as I know the only on in Oz. Now resides in Sydney. Mine was manual with Active Yaw Control, which is a very rare combo, even in Japan. I brought mine back with me from Japan.

They're 2.5V6 twin turbo, 206kW. I think you could probably dust an RS-Four in one, but not a chance against a 260RS - with the factory exhaust, the small turbos on the Legnum mean it runs out of puff at the top end, although the engine is a really free revver.

Parts were a real pain, I got mine from Mitsubishi NZ with only a 2-3 day wait if it was urgent. Guys at Auckland Mistubishi were legends. Not many people mod them, which makes power up stuff hard to come by.

I love Stageas, but for similar money, I'd probably take a Legnum (although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??). Interior is really nicely done - all quality materials inside.

Ooh nice. From what I can tell though, Legnums are harder to find in manual though.

You guys are right on the parts front though - so much bolt on Skyline gear that you have.

I think simplicity is sometimes better.. The single turbo setup of the RB25 is much cheaper to modify than that of a Legnum..

Decisions decisions now... I prefer the look of Legnums, but parts are still an issue. There's a guy in Hong Kong with an Evo 8 4G63 in a Legnum - making big power too apparently!

oh dont get me wrong, beautiful cars. Ill definatly consider owning one some time down the track, but for the money, id just get a 260rs.

There has got to be another wagon out there to rival it?

Hmm, I know what ill get when i can, AMG E55 Estate version. That will be the king of the road :(

Looks nice, would i be right in saying the S2 stagea has around 206kw aswell?

Theres just no comparison between a Mitubishi and a Nissan :(

B*st*rd

LOL fair 'enough

Nice looking wagon..............

although I'll reserve my judgment till next week, ok [ STAGEN ]??

*runs out to clean the car*

You'll have to come back and drive it again in bout 3months ... then see which you'll prefer!! :(

Another hot wagon is the Toyota Caldina ... would be a good comparison between the three makes l reckon!!!

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
