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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
