well i must admit that i do exactly what is stated above in my magna. ONLY because no one suspects it has 207kW ATW. SO After i manage to get some traction, i blow them to bits.

The only reason that i do so is, that i hate when somene buys a skyline, puts a gtr badge on it and a bodykit, and thinks they are king shit and the fastest car out there.

IT nice to put them back in their place every now and then.

Sorry guys.

So if that was true that would mean you would only do it to gtr badged gtst's, I find that very unlikely. The only reason some people realise I may have some power under my bonnet is for a couple of front bar decals, if I took them off it would just look like any 33. Then other people think it's just a rice factor, then they get chopped & realise they were wrong. What are you going to do when you come up against a skyline that will chop you? Give it up?

I know of one of em 93 models? older shape v6 that will probably kick some asses soon. It's getting a birthday present in the way of a 3litre v6 twin turbo GTO twin turbo motor and running gear, 6 speed and AWD is going to be fitted. The g box is a getrag too.

It will look pretty stock externally, cept for the 4 pots from the donor front cut we pulled the motor out of this weekend. They only use TD04's on the 3 litre but in someting as light as an early model magna you know what the outcome will be at the lights.

I want to see it run at the drags when we're finished. Should be interesting as we are still working it out. Early days yet.

This Sh1T be getting funny now.

My 97 Verada ( MAGNA ) is a nice car, I dont however think some of you have brains, balls or pubic hair. Bagging them ( Magna's ) is childish.

Personaly I think the Magnas are dull in stock form, look good with rims and lowered and go like the sh1t when they have a super charger, turbo charger or some intake mods from RPW.

Lets not be d1ckheads and go around labeling a car pathetic and a common dickheads car.

Why... Because I take offence to it. Why shouldnt I??

My next car will be a R34, when I get that should I start bagging magna drives? ahhh no.

Has anyone raced a 2005 Magna VRX? I have a mate who is bugging me that its faster than my 33. This is the 2005 Quadtec AWD VRX 3.8.... Im still not too concerned though but im still not sure what they are stock at the treads. Im trying to get him to come out to the track and give me a run.

Your mates VRX is a 3.5L and is producing 159kW at 5200rpm and 317 Nm of Torque at 5400rpm

My car produced 162kw (no not at the wheels) when I got my exhaust CAI and POD filter fitted. Mine is a 3.5L FWD Verada not a VRX.

I would get him down at the track and give him a run.

Im thinking you would win! :P

My first car was a magna. It was shit. You say they are dull in stock form, excluding supercars which one's aren't? Most cars will look good when they're lowered & fitted with bigger rims, and any car would go better with a turbo or supercharger!!

I mean there are plenty of worse cars out there, I don't mind them I'm just not going to pay any attention to them. I'm thinking they are becoming the new Lancers.

Fair enough mate.. But you cant say that Skylines arn't the new Commodore can you.. I see more Skylines than Lancers.

And yeah any car will go better with a superchanger and turbo charger thats just plain stupid saying that..

My point is the 3.5L magnas fitted with the RPW stage 2 Twin Turbo setup produce over 230kw and thats nothing to be laughed at.

Im not baggin Skylines man.. Im getting an R34 and had a R33 so how could I? All Im saying is that I dont think they are that bad + I agree that most of them are driven by idiots but come on.. calling them the new lancer when you drive a skyline is just stupid.

Some skyline drivers are behaving like hoons these days too. Recently, stopped at a traffic light next to a black R33 S2 skyline with a girl driver. Gave her the thumbs ups, and she ravved her engine and give me a Loser sign when i didn't do the same. Well... i think she wanted me to rev it back. Whatever for? Maybe she wanted to drag me? Aww come on, nice sunny afternoon, with shit loads of cars on the roads.

Oh wells.

Hey Keefy, was she on her Ps? and did you catch her plates, maybe [teej] ? I've confronted her before it it was, she did the same thing :)

yeah great, chop up a perfectly good gto , to put an average driveline in an average car... its going to be a heavy understeering pig, and with a driveline not designed to take that sort of running gear, im sure it will break shit left right and centre.

all i was saying i don't particulary like the fast that somone with a GTST puts on a GTR badge on and think they are king shit.

The magna is suppose to be a family car, but the motor is easily modified and is a very strong motor. Anyway i'm getting a skyline and i drive a magna so i'm screwed either way. LOL

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
