Here's the inner cv joints that got taken out. I'm so glad I didn't drive it far, who knows how long it was like this for.

I was reading a thread on here about the under carriage being sprayed with a stone guard and some saying that their car didn't have it. Mine does on some parts underneath.

This is now new as well, I got no idea how some people treat their cars.

I seem to be missing the proper stereo, the rest is in great condition though.

I noticed I don't have a traction control light, have seen it on other dashes. Is that just the legnums or something?

Some don't have Traction Control.

August 1996 to July1998 (prefacelift):
There were two main models available with 2 limited run special editions. All prefacelift VR-4’s have AYC along with the High Vis dash. Almost all options such as sunroof/moonroof, colours, tan leather or fabric, cold or warm spec and side airbags were available on standard models, with the exception of the COTY and Super VR-4’s.

The various models and their differences are listed below:
VR-4
This was the manual version with 206kw at 5500rpm and 363nm at 4000rpm. An AYC differential was fitted at the rear but there was no option for stability or traction control. Standard equipment from factory included multispoke BBS forged wheels although these were often changed for the standard 5 spoke Enkei wheels. Both designs were 16x6”, 46mm offset and came with 205/55/16 tyres. The BBS wheels are 1.5kg lighter than the Enkei wheels. The standard interior was a dark grey fabric with various highlight colours woven into the main grey and black colours. The steering wheel was the standard 4 spoke design. Original price in Japan was 2,980,000 Yen for Galants and 3,060,000 Yen for Legnums.

Plugs, leads, coilpacks. Most likely spark related.

I have new plugs to change over, waiting until I can get some new gaskets and I will do the lifters as well. Also the new BOV didn't stop boost cut, it cut's at 15psi. Took it to a knowledgeable car person, told him the problem and he had a little look. Found a bolt that's come loose from the wastegate to the turbo? I think that's right lol I will take photos tomorrow and put them up :). I could even get a photo now I guess :D
