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.

    • Maybe it's time for a M3 F80 LCI, and leave it stock.  Drive it to a shop, sip on your latte with nutmeg whilst it gets serviced and on the way home swing by and grab some chai mix for the evening.
    • Great work! Thanks for documenting the process.
    • How would you even adjust the clutch if the pedal already has the correct free play? The operating cylinder has no adjustment in mounting position or rod length. On pull style clutches there is also no ability to adjust the bearing carrier. Push type I can see how adjusting the carrier height makes it all work.   If this is the twin plate clutch did you verify that your friction disks were oriented correctly? It's not mentioned in the directions at all you just have to notice that one side the friction disks have a part number on the hub fingers and a subtle coning to those fingers. Another thing that I noticed was if you put the friction disks in backwards the pressure plate fingers will not be even and flat when the clutch is installed.
    • yeah, mechanically, it is probably do-able, off the top of my head, there would be the transfer case, which I believe will bolt up to the rear of the RWD transmission, the shorter rear tail shaft. A front drive shaft, front diff, engine upper sump, front drive shafts, front hubs and front AWD struts (they are shaped around the front drive shafts), LCAs (at the very least from the front suspension) oil cooler.  You might want the rear diff from an AWD too, so you can be certain the front and rear diff rations are identical.  Who knows what brackets and mounts you might need.  So a whole doner car might be the best option if you need to maintain RHD. Then actually making it work, that would be a whole different story.
