Ugh.. this story is all too familiar.

I had exactly the same thing happen to me with an R34 - Red P plater. He kept blowing off in my window to get me to race on the eastern distributor... until i got the shits and gave it a hefty squirt. Left him for dead cos it was stock as... Very very annoying though.

This quote is relevant I think: "Well, animals are not like people, Mrs. Simpson. Some of them act badly because they've had a hard life, or have been mistreated...but, like people, some of them... are just jerks! Stop that, Mr. Simpson!" [Homer butts the warden repeatedly]

As a general rule, people don't try and wind me up for a race in my car. They must know its slow. :D

But yeah, it is typical. I don't know why, but I am seeing a lot of modified Magnas these days. Today I saw one that was dumped on chromies and a cannon exhaust out the back. It was also running a lot of neg camber on the rear.

What is it about the Magna that's making it so popular for modifying now? I just don't see it. Its not a particularly nice looking car. Its not particularly fast in stock form. I am a bit confused.

i honestly rekon its a "hand me down" thing.. where there parents get a new car and got a shit trade in price for there magnas... there not worth much these days......

the one that "tried" to race the skyline was white dumped on chromes with a fat exhaust.. it sounded like the ugliest thing ive ever heard.. it was loud it hurt the ear drums and what made it worse is that it was auto!..

there was one funny part the what happend though.. when the skyline was on the lights with the magna.. and the skyline tramped it to sorta get away from the fool.. the skyline had one space saver wheel at the back.. so he was spinning alllllll the way and he still left the magna for dead.. it lookd stupid of the magna to even try as he was trying his best to keep up to a wheel spinning skyline...

dopey P plater magna drivers... oh and BTW another P plater killd in picton last night anyone know if it was a "modified" car... if they ban hi performance car to a higher level the government is doing no favour to P platers... u can speed in any car.. u can loose control in any car!.. i rekon a wrx is much safer to drive than a fwd pulsar or a crx or something.... all these Pplaters are getting killed in stock standard lil cars.. its the individuals fault not ALL p platers

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. that skyline got done for street racing aswell and are appearing at court u dumbass, the magna did not lose to the skyline, i am a P-plater and you dont no shit about cars, big deal if it was auto, A auto car will thrash your shitty manual skyline rice burner, every third person on the road DRIVES A FREAKING SKYLINE where is the unique quality in owning a car which everybody has, every car i see is a gts. gts-t , there are only a few unique imports which non of you shitheads can afford. i seen the race and what you said was all biased bullshit and hey you know what i drive neither car.. if that was a real race the magna would win as the skyline backed off. so how do you say in the end that the skyline won? the skyline driver has a licence by the way, SO FACE IT YOU GOT THRASHED BY A STOCK MAGNA WITH AN EXHAUST, so go and pay off the rest off your money owing on you little rice burning peices of shit!!! VL turbo :D vs skyline GTR R34 come and meet me down the creek!! :action-smiley-069:

where is the unique quality in owning a car which everybody has

Says the guy driving a Commodore. Because those things are rarer than TVRs on the road....

if that was a real race the magna would win as the skyline backed off. so how do you say in the end that the skyline won?

Because he had to back off in order for the Magna to do its loser flyby. He launched it, pulled away, and then decided not to continue flying down the road after proving his point.

I guess he drew the line at the limit of his stupidity by street racing on a space saver, and decided not to follow it up with doing ludicrous speed down the road.

Doesn't your VL-Turbo hektik mobile use engine components from a Skyline?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I held my breath waiting for a response, and I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I came to with paramedics pulling a breather mask off my face and asking me how many fingers they were holding up.

I told him "15, ironically the same number of years it took Holden to locally produce a 6 cylinder engine that matched the RB30ET's power output with an engine 25% bigger".

Don't VL Commodores have an allergic reaction and break out into a horrible, disfiguring rash when exposed to a corner?

Or is that just rust?

Bring it on dude, you name the day and i'll be there. Make sure you drive your car there with street tyres and the 20" chrommies . Mine as you can see is all stock as it left the Nissan factory..

Actually the baby next to it would show you some exhaust pipes but i don't own it anymore and the guy that lawfully owns it doesn't have it either ( was stolen a couple of days ago) otherwise i'll get him to bring it too

LOL at the VL wanka, didnt relise VLs were rare these days since when did holden make that car, looks like its got SA plates on it, so much for being in syd champ, they threw a shell over a skyline drivetrain how does that make it a total holden, why does everyone wanna race skylines, everyone knows they arent a slow car. like a stock magna please thats a joke.I had a knob red p plater in a hi-ace van tryin to race me down the central coast the other day like wtf, he was all over the road, looked like it was about to tip over goin into the round abouts.

On another note, dont ban performance cars, the drivers have to be better educated any one can get hurt in any car. end of rant hahaha.

BTW Wrxhoon that GTR is horn, looks so clean.

Hi there,

First I'd like to say slow down. You seem very passionate about this whole thing, and you also seem to have a personal vendeta against everyone that drives something made in another country that isn't a Magna. Would you consider yourself a "bogan"?

Going on the way you write, you can't speak/write English very well. Your grammar and spelling is ridiculous. If you're still at school, maybe you should request to go back a few years, and if you're no longer in school maybe you should go back.

Here are some examples of where you've gone wrong:

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT.

You are trying to tell someone that they don't know what they are talking about here. But you are coming off like someone with a mental disabilty. "YOUR" should be replaced with "YOU'RE", as you're trying to say "...WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT".

i am a P-plater and you dont no shit about cars

Don't forget to capitalise those "I"'s now. So disappointing too that you actually do know which "know" to use, yet you used "no" here.

The more I read the less it seems that you are a bogan. Someone that considers themselves that strongly "Australian" should atleast know which "know" to use.

A auto car will thrash your shitty manual skyline rice burner, every third person on the road DRIVES A FREAKING SKYLINE where is the unique quality in owning a car which everybody has, every car i see is a gts. gts-t , there are only a few unique imports which non of you shitheads can afford.

Again, learn to spell and punctuate. You must have alot of trouble getting anything in life.

i seen the race and what you said was all biased bullshit and hey you know what i drive neither car.. if that was a real race the magna would win as the skyline backed off. so how do you say in the end that the skyline won? the skyline driver has a licence by the way, SO FACE IT YOU GOT THRASHED BY A STOCK MAGNA WITH AN EXHAUST...

You "seen the race" did you? That's nice.

Again, you seem to be getting frustrated here. Slow down, take a deep breath. No one understands what you are really saying.

From what I'm reading you are saying that you feel inferior (in general, I'm not talking about cars here. I'm talking about you). It's ok to feel inferior sometimes. But it's best to go back and find the root of the problem, and fix it from there.

Maybe you regret not listening in class when you were at school, or when you are at school?

VL turbo :) vs skyline GTR R34 come and meet me down the creek!! :P

Did you feel better after you posted that line? I sure hope you did. People like you need all the...hmmm...how can I term this so you understand what I'm saying... People like you need all the "ups" in this life that you can get so that you remain almost satisified with yourself, some of the time.

If all of this has gone over your head, please feel free to reply.

haha someone has been done hard by skylines then. Dont hate man...appreciate.

every single line from that whole paragraph is utter garbage. Due to SAU members being intelligent, educated and mature, most wont even bother wasting their time replying to that. Feel free to take this tip on board: Just delete yourself before the mods do and join a internet keyboard warrior forum where you belong.

just regarding people talking about done up magna's, you are probably talking about the magna "VR-X", they are stock from the mitsubishi factory with chrome wheels, and a meaner styled body kit, but there is also people that do them up, but to answer why people are seeing them more and more it's probably the VR-X model magna, they come with engine modifications as well, it's all on wikipedia if your at all interested:) just thought i could clear up a few things:)

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
