I just took a brief look at the list, and noticed there isn't even a Legnum as such on it? Here's a screen shot:

I take it that Legnums fall under 'Galants' and would be classed as a Galant Estate/Wagon like in the U.K?




*EDIT* looking at the 'Official Ruling' it is EC5x only. I guess I answered my own question then.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :cry::cry::cry:

That is the same as the COTY leather. The car can't be imported as it doesn't have enough power, unless you want to buy it and own it for a year first, then bring it in as a personal import.

The 2.4 gdi is a horrible engine anyway, they sound like a tractor, blow up all the time, require 98 octane and in the real world make 90kw at 4500rpm or so and hit a brick wall above 5000rpm.

Just get a EC5W Dre you big girl!

Ahhh, do you seriously think I want the GDi motor for it's power???!

Imagine if it was an EVO 9 4G63T or even the 4G64 (rebuilt obviously) with Mivec head on it in there, instead of the pus bucket GDi......

Even with a lazy 20g, exhaust and intake you'd still see 220+kw atw

Win?

Has to be a facelift....!

I was trolling the auction sites and Grade 4 EC3W's with 70k kms go for as little as Y140,000 F.O.B, which is a third of the price of Grade 4 EC5W's. I thought, if i'm going to do a 4cylinder conversion and source a crossmember etc from NZ, I may as well start off with a 4cyl and possibly save myself $3500 (to put towards the conversion) and it comes with all the parts I need there already. But alas, it's obviously not meant to be!


What about applying to RAWS for an exemption?

Yea it's strictly the EC5W/EC5A chassis, even the NA 6A13 (ST-R) can't be complied, though as has been stated there are a couple of them over here brought in by NZers.

there is no such thing as an EC3W prefacelift. There are EC5W prefacelift n/a's as Brad2 mentions.

A GDI 4G64 is an ok option for a 2.4 4G63, you'll have to get custom pistons though, the stock CR is 11:1 on a 4G64 GDI

I love your thinking though dude. The 4g63 is the ultimate upgrade in my eyes. If you have time, just wait for someone to smash a motor and sell their car as-is...

It has already been answered, but the 6A13TT is the only motor that makes enough power to meet the SEVS regs.

Yeah I haven't seen one. If you know someone with a VR4 that you like just put sugar in the fuel tank. That'll work.

Yep, the ultimate upgrade, 1000rpm later turbo spool due to the smaller capacity, less smooth because it is an i4 rather than a v6 and longer so it is harder to work on for cambelts and things.

For what? A $5000 plus conversion price, and 20kg less weight? One of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard of.
