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...

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

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

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
