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.

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
