Its also a 5speed.

My others halfs brother has a lease VRX 5 speed from Mitsi's.

I'd say it pretty much is as fast, the bottom end poke of the little 3.5ltr is amazing from such a small motor.

Quite silly having such a motor in a FWD, rolling on in first has the front 225's smoking by simply mashing the pedal, pretty much you always have to drive around with traction control on unless you are good with throttle control.

The latest model is really good with regards to torque steer, the older shape had you hanging on for dear life with white knuckles as you pulled out of a corner.

But.. its still a fwd Magna.. :P lol

Move back to RWD and drop a decent twin charged 3.5ltr in to it and it may sell a little better. :(

That magna is owned by the mitsu plant, and is given to the driver with a new set of tread every event. He has many years of motorkana's behind him and is employed by the mitsu plant.

ps, the event before the 14th (round 3) my mate drinkies (blue four door R32) was second overall, the magna beat him by only 2 seconds.

the magna looks fast, but a skyline going just as fast looks sooooo much betta.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
