legnum lol.

now dont be like that. stock for stock the Legnum VR4 has a lot more punch than the Stagea.

its ok to be Nissan loyal, but the Legnum VR4 is still a damn fast wagon. And if it wasnt for the mega expensive servicing and parts... id definitely be looking to slide into one. Although compared to a M35, the old VR4 is starting to look a bit dated.

ARX lol.

oh wait

yeh i know that but i think just for the price comparison of the two, you definitely get more out of a m35. i drove a legnum and wasnt impressed to be honest

yeah true. the one I had a spin of had the boost up'ed a few psi and larger FMIC, and on boost it drinks like a whale. but i think the AYC in the Legnum around some twisty's is where the Legnum really shines. EVO handling ftw.

But as a family car... the M35 Stagea is a better option. Thus, my interest. Im just also a big fan of the Legnum VR4, spent a bit of time over at OzVr4.

you'd be suprised at how the M35 handles with some coilovers and a set of sway bars.

honestly even i was suprised with just the BC's i installed.

from a floating boat to a speedboat?happy.gif

btw, what settings did u use for ur BCs aaron? how many clicks front and rear?

When I was looking for a replacement for my Mazda 3 I was looking at the Legnums too...the AYC was a big plus.

But the lack parts and servicing cost was too much to bear...

LOL...hater!

I guess alot of people said the same thing about airbags/abs/awd/tcs etc etc when these things were 1st put into cars...:whistling:

lol if your going off that the trend looks like it wouldve started as.

"a car is for a person that cant drive"

i dunno if the heights properly set. i could lift the fron1cm more or so.

fronts are 12 from hard and rears are 15. feels ok, the rears arent loosing so much traction now

damn, i set mine on 16s fronts and rearswhistling.gif

Oh man, don't get Iain started on ABS.

You'd might as well start talking oil/fluids with me!

hence why i said fair enough lol

damn, i set mine on 16s fronts and rearswhistling.gif

not that big of a difference. its only damper after all. plus its only bee just installed so the novelty affect is still there.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
