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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
