AB - why would maintenance be an issue and parts?

Just cause theyre not common doesnt mean it would be hard to get shit for it... have a read on some of the mitsi forums im sure u will find a lot of parts can be pilfered from EVOs and GSRs for it

So?

youd only be replacing the top half...

not that i know how it works... but i cant see the issue

To put an RB25 into a GTS-4, the RB25 from a RWD R33 won't fit, so you need the RB25 from an AWD Stagea (not sure if they are all awd)

Last time I checked, Al's car is a RWD R33...

well if he had an engine with a worked head, turbos etc and transplanted it i would say it helps a lot... apart from having a stock bottom end :(

lol

indeed :)

**comes to a realisation** I could almost buy two of these for the cost of my engine :no:

The VR4 Legnum is a hot car.

These days you wanna stand out from the crowd of usual cars - Legnums are perfect. They have a specially developed 2.5 liter and use TD04 turbochargers.

Later Model Japanese ones do have the Evolution 4 gearbox and Active Yaw Control.. (these cars would have been recalled some time ago like the Evo 4s which were recalled for an AYC problem)

I havent driven one, but anything mitsubishi Slaps a turbo on to, flys!!! 3000GTs for example, widely hated and despised, for fair reasons - Has anyone driven a stock 3000GT to comment? I drove a bone stock standard one (no aftermarket parts whatsover) and it went much harder than ANY standard /near standard GTR or Evo I have ever been in.

There is a hot looking Red Legnum on Princes Hwy in Clayton (I think) at the dealer. They have a few Stags. IMO - stags are awesome cars - my mate alex has tinkered around with stags for a few years now, you have to put the coin in to make em half decent (ie. turbo,auto, management, cooling,suspension) otherwise they are quite slow and very very heavy. I have also driven a late model Yellow Kitted (R34) Stagea wagon and its kinda the same deal.

my dad owned a GTO and it is something i learned to drive in... i dont know how you thought they are quicker then a GTR stock for stock because they arent.

theyre quick and i think an awesome car, the gizmos alone are super cool but not in the same class as the GTR.

guess this would be a good place for info on em... Legnums

You only need to replace the sump, to fit the engine into a Stagea. And i'd want to keep my fully rebuilt RB30deT :), as it would make up for the extra beef the Stagea carries.

But this is not on the books :thumbsup:

The sump is the only differance and they are interchangeable.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
