granted, legnums are a nother viable option. however, you lose:

boot space

space in general

aftermarket support

cheaper parts

factory 5 goodness...

a better looking interior

you do gain things too

Tougher front end

more modern shape

MUCH cheaper for the initial purchase

the dark purple is nice....

Ive driven both an auto and manual twin turbo leggy and i will say that they are pretty responsive. You get A 5spd auto too, not 4, im pretty sure.

We need to do a cruise with all the wagons - libertys, stageas, legnums, wrx wagons, toyota caldinas etc. Would be cool.

you do lose a little space, stagea is 940mm between the strut towers, legnum is 890mm, and the interior space is a bit smaller, you notice it in the 2 front footwells the most.

aftermarket support is there, RHDjapan sell a shiteload of gears, and alot of manufacturers like tein, fujitsubo, pro shop iida, make parts for them.

cheaper parts is one downside.. but then it depends what you're after and want to do, a VR4 dump/front pipe setup is cheaper than that for a RB25/26, and a cat back exhaust is much the same.

factory 5 goodness.. do you mean a 5spd gearbox? because you can get a 5spd tiptronic, or a 5spd manual (VR4 manual's are alot more common that stagea manuals too...)

the better interior is in the eye of the beer-holder too.. personally i love my leather, carbon fibre, and recaro's over anything the stagea offers.. however there is also tan/black leather, straight black leather, suede, black/red cloth, and S1 stagea style cloth too.

in the end, its up to what you like.. a smaller nimble little car with plenty of torque that will run low 14's out of the box, or a larger car with more room, more available parts and support and a different look.

i would have bought a stagea myself if kylie didnt already have one.. now we just have a sexy black S1 rs-4 stag, and a sexy super vr-4 legnum in the driveway. :D

i guess the real question is... would you prefer people to say "nice volvo!" OR "nice magna!" ;)

Just buy both ;) I did.

*edit* That said, in about 2 weeks, once compliance is done, I'll have a 5speed tiptronic, dark purple Legnum with AYC up for sale... So if you decide against Stageas... To hell with it, everyone was shamelessly plugging THEIR cars...

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
