imho the back end of both the cars isnt the greatest, although the front end of the legnum is :banana:, although generally speaking i rekon gallants are feral

Aren't the front end of the Galant and Legnum exactly the same?? :)

how did i know Mitchy would be all over this thread lol, the legnum bandwagon leader :P i like em myself, front is awesome, rear of stagea is wayyyy better lookin though. The leggy is ALOT smaller than a stagea, the leggy reminds me of a wrx wagon size, not really a full size wagon, closer to a hatchback size almost.

Going from what ive seen with mitsubishi engines (evo, gto, etc) they are the most underrated strength engines in any imports. i know the gto guys with the 6g72 reckon a safe limit for stock engine is 650awhp lol. The legnum is a similiar engine setup by the looks of it so i could see it making some decent power without dramas (obviously not that much but as good as rb25 if not better).

Coolie wrote a song For the twin turbo Legacy GT...

"as I walk through the valley of Valley of Death

I take a look at my boost gauge and realize there's nothin there

coz I've been cursing and swearing so long, that

even my mama thinks that my second turbo is gone

but I ain't never crossed an owner that didn't experience it

me be seeing laaaaaag you know that's not unheard of

you better watch how you're talking, and where you're walking

Cause the second turbo's about to kick in y0

I really hate to wait but i gotta though

As the revs rise I see the exhaust smoke

I'm the kinda GT the little rexies wanna be like

Foot to the floor in the night, saying prayers for response

been spending most their lives, living in the GT's VOD"

Legnums are faster stock and with mild mods than stageas. They are lighter and handle better. They are also extremely common in NZ and go for 5-15k.

Heck a manual Caldina GTT will dick most to all stageas.

i'd have to agree with chuckie... the stagea is far better for reliability. I thrashed my car at times, taken her down the drags too and not once did I do my gear box, unlike Mitchy who had only had the legnum a short while and managed to kill it...

So I wouldn't touch the leggy's... stick with nissan.

i guess its just personal preference...if ur just gonna drive it as a daily i guess any option wouldn't matter..but in stock form legnums would be better...i'm more of a mitsubishi person when coming to wagon/sedan 4wds anyway..

in saying that don't bring any liberty gt's/b4's into the equation...hate subaru lolz...even though they do make good cars..damn i'm biased

In terms of daily use, how do these stack up to Stageas and Caldina GTT? And in terms of your general service? Recently in HPI magazine, they stated that changing minor things for legnum, spark plugs was a really prob, as you had to remove alot of the cross over plumbing. One more thing, are these legnums more thirsty than the other 2 compititors, Caldina and Stagea? I know Mits has a thing for making thirsty cars, like EVO series.

Both the Stagea and Legnum are very thirsty. The caldina is lighter and more fuel efficient.

Caldina has a ratshit interior

Stageas are reasonably easy to service. Id imagine a caldina isnt too bad either. Legnum can be tedious with things like sparkies and cambelts. Same goes with any transverse V6

Speed wise would be something like Fastest = Legnum > Caldina > Stagea turbo 4wd.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
