I heard the AWD is pretty good for grip and if your not a fan of FWD.

You will get a slightly smaller fuel tank (from memory 4L smaller due to AWD system) and higher consumption.

But if you intend on adding forced induction in the future you will have a family sized "Evo" so to speak.

The AWD magna was a pretty nice car, but wasn't that popular. It was more expensive than the AWD subarus that were more practical. The AWD system also added something like 200kg to the weight.

Noooo.... don't doo it! FWD is evil!

FWD's are ftw :banana:

Magna's are great. For the first year or so. Then they go pear shaped, hence the re-sale being shite.

BS.

My dad's owned his 2001 Magna since 2003, so he's had it 6 years now. He hasn't had to replace anything, just kept up with services. It's absolutely perfect mechanically, still has the stock clutch and doesn't sniff at towing a reasonable sized boat. Prior to that he had a 1993 Magna up until 2001. Again, nothing ever needed replacing.

It's the history, not the car that'll determine whether it's a lemon. Both of my dad's cars have been faultless. They're the type of car people neglect and run into the ground, so of course you'll find shitty examples.

plus they sound sick when supercharged

Ugh.... the supercharger whine gives me a migraine.

Twin turbo magnas sound much better. 11 sec and 505hp at wheels from a FWD whale is not too bad.

Back in the day I had my magna, I was seriously saving up to have it twin turbo'd by RPW from WA. Would've cost around 12k I think.

Thanks guys, it's very helpful.

Stagea --- I'd considered but no. Because the car will mainly driven by my wife and I have to say she's a very bad driver.

Camry --- No, I hate toyota especially camry and corolla

Ford --- the name speaks all: Fix Or Repair Daily :)

Thanks again for all the help. Cheers

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
