legnum lol.

now dont be like that. stock for stock the Legnum VR4 has a lot more punch than the Stagea.

its ok to be Nissan loyal, but the Legnum VR4 is still a damn fast wagon. And if it wasnt for the mega expensive servicing and parts... id definitely be looking to slide into one. Although compared to a M35, the old VR4 is starting to look a bit dated.

ARX lol.

oh wait

yeh i know that but i think just for the price comparison of the two, you definitely get more out of a m35. i drove a legnum and wasnt impressed to be honest

yeah true. the one I had a spin of had the boost up'ed a few psi and larger FMIC, and on boost it drinks like a whale. but i think the AYC in the Legnum around some twisty's is where the Legnum really shines. EVO handling ftw.

But as a family car... the M35 Stagea is a better option. Thus, my interest. Im just also a big fan of the Legnum VR4, spent a bit of time over at OzVr4.

you'd be suprised at how the M35 handles with some coilovers and a set of sway bars.

honestly even i was suprised with just the BC's i installed.

from a floating boat to a speedboat?happy.gif

btw, what settings did u use for ur BCs aaron? how many clicks front and rear?

When I was looking for a replacement for my Mazda 3 I was looking at the Legnums too...the AYC was a big plus.

But the lack parts and servicing cost was too much to bear...

LOL...hater!

I guess alot of people said the same thing about airbags/abs/awd/tcs etc etc when these things were 1st put into cars...:whistling:

lol if your going off that the trend looks like it wouldve started as.

"a car is for a person that cant drive"

i dunno if the heights properly set. i could lift the fron1cm more or so.

fronts are 12 from hard and rears are 15. feels ok, the rears arent loosing so much traction now

damn, i set mine on 16s fronts and rearswhistling.gif

Oh man, don't get Iain started on ABS.

You'd might as well start talking oil/fluids with me!

hence why i said fair enough lol

damn, i set mine on 16s fronts and rearswhistling.gif

not that big of a difference. its only damper after all. plus its only bee just installed so the novelty affect is still there.

    • Yeah, whenever I say "HP", I mean HP. As in, at the engine. Allowing for a 25% discount from engine to typical Ozzie braked roller dyno figures, then subtracting the usual (more optimistic) US inertia dyno offset..... you get into the 600 actual engine HP territory from your 484 wheel number. 484 / 0.75 = 645   (that's Aussie rw intertia HP, converting to approximate engine HP. 645 --> 600 is discount for inertia dyno. Could actually be worse than that. But that would still be up around 600. So near enough for purposes.
    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
