All bets its a Legnum.

I've been quietly interested in one of these also.

Hows the economy Darren all though it doesn't really matter with fuel the way it is at the moment. :blink:

mines getting 10-11L/100km with exhaust and 13psi.

got an SAFC II in it that needs to be tuned.

guys its a legnum

i gave the thumbs up to sleds post, not the stag post that was at the same time as mine.

by the way when is sled ever wrong?

his obvious ability to guess things before they happen were proven at the dyno day.

yea thats the one

38k on the clock, fairly imaculate all over.

guy imported it thru j spec but had a loan on the car i think from day one.

so when the car was still in japan he was allready having to pay the loan off.

10 months later (june 08) it was here and complied.

he has done less then 4000 klms in it and now realised he couldnt afford it so i grabbed it.

:)

haha well done Darren....that's a little similar to the way I scored mine. A guy in Sydney put a decent deposit down for an importer to bring it over then when it landed, he couldn't come up with the rest of the cash, so I flew over and drove it straight back

Excellent choice.

Legnums are sick, so you'll definately be impressed.

For anyone else, I'm having to sell mine - it's a mint Series 2 Type S and a Manual too;

holy thread bump batman!

hang on a second! an r34 sedan isnt even a wagon! :)

yea i know but i thought they are still family styled?? :D and i have been wondering about how the er34 would go against the leggy... im a fan of the VR4 myself and drives a er34 so just pondering and thought perhaps someone can shed some info on this. the er34 has about 240hpatw now.

it has returned, i say best wagon is the cheapest so you can afford to have a 2nd car and not look like a soccer mum :)

+1

I'd go a series 3 r31 wagon now if I had some spare change and, more importantly, a place to store it

-D

duno what its worth, but ill give my opinion anyway :)

going from a silvia to a galant vr4. yes a silvia is not a stagea, but its still a nissan turbo with the same feel and making the same power. and yes the galant is not a legnum, well it is, so shh lol.

since owning the vr4 ive lost interest in the silvia. the vr4 is much smoother, easier to drive, can be modded just as easily as any turbo nissan, and is so much easier to work on. ie, like even with coilovers and other mods, the vr4 doesnt feel like a track pig, where nissans do. the only reason im keeping the silvia is for a project to keep myself busy. if i had to pick one, the vr4 would be it no doubt.

    • Hi all. I am aware there is lots of discussions about jacking points, where to lift the car and what not. But as usual just a lot of "in my opinion" and nothing definitive, and everyone does it in a different way. I want to hear from some experienced people on which points on the car it's okay/safe/recommended to lift the car using a four point hoist/lift. I will attach some images of my underbody. Sills are largely okayish, the driver side jacking point is pretty mangled though and it looks like the underfloor is slightly pushed in too, but I might be wrong. In the German Skyline forum, the consensus is to use the sidemember chassis rails in the front and the rear subframe? bushing in the rear. I know the manual says to never use the sidemember for loading but lots of folk do it and it was definitely done on my car too as they are slightly bent too. Based on the images, what points do I use to not make the already present damage worse? I'd use wood or rubber blocks to spread the load across a bigger area of course.

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers
