man i just saw this thread!... i was there on monday watching the whole thing from start to end... the skyline wasnt racing the shitty magna.. it started all the way from lane cove road through to hume highway chullora... i finished work and was on my way home.... and there was this tool in a magna numberplate [TAKKOS].. full had an exhaust and he was dying to line up this r33... he would leave it in first and fly past this r33 and overtake him and u know all the usuall bullshit P platers do.. i spoke to the skyline driver we were both laughing at this guy!.. the skyline driver had no license and his on this forum.. he was taking it easy all the way i was right behind both of em in a ute.. we all turned onto hume highway from homebush bay drive and TAKKOS kept trying to pump the skyline.. the skyline obviously couldnt take it nemore.. he ended up tramping it and TAKKOS tramped it behind him.. and then the skyline slowed down TAKKOS kept speeding and he got done.. it wasnt a race it was more like the skyline got annoyed from this dope and just squirted it passed him... i feel sorry for the skyline driver.. he kept shaking his head at TAKKOS and couldnt believe what he was seeing!.. neither could I the magna driver was fkn keen trying to race a skyline...

like i said it wasnt so much as a race it was more like this guys a fool im gna loose him...

ah well.. takkos got what he deserved...

Ugh.. this story is all too familiar.

I had exactly the same thing happen to me with an R34 - Red P plater. He kept blowing off in my window to get me to race on the eastern distributor... until i got the shits and gave it a hefty squirt. Left him for dead cos it was stock as... Very very annoying though.

This quote is relevant I think: "Well, animals are not like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they've had a hard life, or have been mistreated...but, like people, some of them... are just jerks! Stop that, Mr. Simpson!" [Homer butts the warden repeatedly]

:laugh:

As a general rule, people don't try and wind me up for a race in my car. They must know its slow. :D

But yeah, it is typical. I don't know why, but I am seeing a lot of modified Magnas these days. Today I saw one that was dumped on chromies and a cannon exhaust out the back. It was also running a lot of neg camber on the rear.

What is it about the Magna that's making it so popular for modifying now? I just don't see it. Its not a particularly nice looking car. Its not particularly fast in stock form. I am a bit confused.

i honestly rekon its a "hand me down" thing.. where there parents get a new car and got a shit trade in price for there magnas... there not worth much these days......

the one that "tried" to race the skyline was white dumped on chromes with a fat exhaust.. it sounded like the ugliest thing ive ever heard.. it was loud it hurt the ear drums and what made it worse is that it was auto!..

there was one funny part the what happend though.. when the skyline was on the lights with the magna.. and the skyline tramped it to sorta get away from the fool.. the skyline had one space saver wheel at the back.. so he was spinning alllllll the way and he still left the magna for dead.. it lookd stupid of the magna to even try as he was trying his best to keep up to a wheel spinning skyline...

dopey P plater magna drivers... oh and BTW another P plater killd in picton last night anyone know if it was a "modified" car... if they ban hi performance car to a higher level the government is doing no favour to P platers... u can speed in any car.. u can loose control in any car!.. i rekon a wrx is much safer to drive than a fwd pulsar or a crx or something.... all these Pplaters are getting killed in stock standard lil cars.. its the individuals fault not ALL p platers

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. that skyline got done for street racing aswell and are appearing at court u dumbass, the magna did not lose to the skyline, i am a P-plater and you dont no shit about cars, big deal if it was auto, A auto car will thrash your shitty manual skyline rice burner, every third person on the road DRIVES A FREAKING SKYLINE where is the unique quality in owning a car which everybody has, every car i see is a gts. gts-t , there are only a few unique imports which non of you shitheads can afford. i seen the race and what you said was all biased bullshit and hey you know what i drive neither car.. if that was a real race the magna would win as the skyline backed off. so how do you say in the end that the skyline won? the skyline driver has a licence by the way, SO FACE IT YOU GOT THRASHED BY A STOCK MAGNA WITH AN EXHAUST, so go and pay off the rest off your money owing on you little rice burning peices of shit!!! VL turbo :D vs skyline GTR R34 come and meet me down the creek!! :action-smiley-069:

where is the unique quality in owning a car which everybody has

Says the guy driving a Commodore. Because those things are rarer than TVRs on the road....

if that was a real race the magna would win as the skyline backed off. so how do you say in the end that the skyline won?

Because he had to back off in order for the Magna to do its loser flyby. He launched it, pulled away, and then decided not to continue flying down the road after proving his point.

I guess he drew the line at the limit of his stupidity by street racing on a space saver, and decided not to follow it up with doing ludicrous speed down the road.

Doesn't your VL-Turbo hektik mobile use engine components from a Skyline?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I held my breath waiting for a response, and I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I came to with paramedics pulling a breather mask off my face and asking me how many fingers they were holding up.

I told him "15, ironically the same number of years it took Holden to locally produce a 6 cylinder engine that matched the RB30ET's power output with an engine 25% bigger".

james1 - what about around the track, not just in a straight line? Im sure most people here would like to give you a go out there :miner:

its cool to be a keyboard warrior hey!

nice car too - can you post another pic so we can see your plates too?

james1 - what about around the track, not just in a straight line? Im sure most people here would like to give you a go out there :miner:

Don't VL Commodores have an allergic reaction and break out into a horrible, disfiguring rash when exposed to a corner?

Or is that just rust?

]VL turbo :miner: vs skyline GTR R34 come and meet me down the creek!! :ninja
Bring it on dude, you name the day and i'll be there. Make sure you drive your car there with street tyres and the 20" chrommies . Mine as you can see is all stock as it left the Nissan factory..

Actually the baby next to it would show you some exhaust pipes but i don't own it anymore and the guy that lawfully owns it doesn't have it either ( was stolen a couple of days ago) otherwise i'll get him to bring it too

LOL at the VL wanka, didnt relise VLs were rare these days since when did holden make that car, looks like its got SA plates on it, so much for being in syd champ, they threw a shell over a skyline drivetrain how does that make it a total holden, why does everyone wanna race skylines, everyone knows they arent a slow car. like a stock magna please thats a joke.I had a knob red p plater in a hi-ace van tryin to race me down the central coast the other day like wtf, he was all over the road, looked like it was about to tip over goin into the round abouts.

On another note, dont ban performance cars, the drivers have to be better educated any one can get hurt in any car. end of rant hahaha.

BTW Wrxhoon that GTR is horn, looks so clean.

Hi there,

First I'd like to say slow down. You seem very passionate about this whole thing, and you also seem to have a personal vendeta against everyone that drives something made in another country that isn't a Magna. Would you consider yourself a "bogan"?

Going on the way you write, you can't speak/write English very well. Your grammar and spelling is ridiculous. If you're still at school, maybe you should request to go back a few years, and if you're no longer in school maybe you should go back.

Here are some examples of where you've gone wrong:

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT.

You are trying to tell someone that they don't know what they are talking about here. But you are coming off like someone with a mental disabilty. "YOUR" should be replaced with "YOU'RE", as you're trying to say "...WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT".

i am a P-plater and you dont no shit about cars

Don't forget to capitalise those "I"'s now. So disappointing too that you actually do know which "know" to use, yet you used "no" here.

The more I read the less it seems that you are a bogan. Someone that considers themselves that strongly "Australian" should atleast know which "know" to use.

A auto car will thrash your shitty manual skyline rice burner, every third person on the road DRIVES A FREAKING SKYLINE where is the unique quality in owning a car which everybody has, every car i see is a gts. gts-t , there are only a few unique imports which non of you shitheads can afford.

Again, learn to spell and punctuate. You must have alot of trouble getting anything in life.

i seen the race and what you said was all biased bullshit and hey you know what i drive neither car.. if that was a real race the magna would win as the skyline backed off. so how do you say in the end that the skyline won? the skyline driver has a licence by the way, SO FACE IT YOU GOT THRASHED BY A STOCK MAGNA WITH AN EXHAUST...

You "seen the race" did you? That's nice.

Again, you seem to be getting frustrated here. Slow down, take a deep breath. No one understands what you are really saying.

From what I'm reading you are saying that you feel inferior (in general, I'm not talking about cars here. I'm talking about you). It's ok to feel inferior sometimes. But it's best to go back and find the root of the problem, and fix it from there.

Maybe you regret not listening in class when you were at school, or when you are at school?

VL turbo :) vs skyline GTR R34 come and meet me down the creek!! :P

Did you feel better after you posted that line? I sure hope you did. People like you need all the...hmmm...how can I term this so you understand what I'm saying... People like you need all the "ups" in this life that you can get so that you remain almost satisified with yourself, some of the time.

If all of this has gone over your head, please feel free to reply.

haha someone has been done hard by skylines then. Dont hate man...appreciate.

every single line from that whole paragraph is utter garbage. Due to SAU members being intelligent, educated and mature, most wont even bother wasting their time replying to that. Feel free to take this tip on board: Just delete yourself before the mods do and join a internet keyboard warrior forum where you belong.

just regarding people talking about done up magna's, you are probably talking about the magna "VR-X", they are stock from the mitsubishi factory with chrome wheels, and a meaner styled body kit, but there is also people that do them up, but to answer why people are seeing them more and more it's probably the VR-X model magna, they come with engine modifications as well, it's all on wikipedia if your at all interested:) just thought i could clear up a few things:)

    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.   
    • If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!    
    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
