Hey guys

Im looking to sell my car and then I will be in the market for a new car. I have been looking at some import sites and there have been a few Galants comming up. After doing some research they look pretty damn good on paper (V6 2.5L TT 4WD) and I was wondering if any1 has driven one and also if they can be complied in Adelaide yet?

Cheers

Dude

dont let compliance in naother state seem a hassle quite easy both my last imported cars had to be complied elsewhere

Easy!!

Yeh I guess so, the Galant would be somethin pretty different, I think its worth a shot. Can anyone tell me the name and maybe website of the place that in QLD that can do the compliance as the link posted wont work for me.

Cheers

Just get the importer sort it all out and thell them you want it delivered to your adress in SA! Let them do the running around as thats what you pay them for!

Yeh thats what I would do, dunno if I will go through who I did last time though. Is there any good importers locally that dont want an arm and a leg for commision?

They look tuff as!

My brother-in-law has been looking at getting a legnum for a while now. He's still toying with the idea but not yet convinced he can afford it etc. Parts would be a major issue for him.

But they are now available for full compliance in australia so he's very tempted right now :wave:

I reckon they're a very nice wagon, probably the fastest (maybe even the best?) sports wagon in its class/price range among the japanese imports - I'm mainly comparing to the Nissan Stagea RS4 (260RS would eat it up) and the Subie Legacy. The Legnum interior looks pretty plush but I still think the exterior looks way too much like a magna wagon. Still, my brother-in-law owns a magna sedan now and is a big mitsi fan so its a step up from his current car in any case.

Things I like about the legnum are the interior, performance, and I'd imagine they'd handle pretty well too.

Things I dont like are the 4WD system, its just a fixed torque split ratio, and has a front bias (engine is east-west, like most(all?) mitsubishi's and therefore it drives the front wheels primarily). Sure it works, but the stagea/skyline GTR/GTS4 awd is a far superior system.

The looks are ok, but not really my cup of tea. On the whole though I'd have to say - very nice wagon choice :(

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z

    • Wanna rewrite all of that in, say, 2 or 3 separate sentences, so that we can read it?
