[snickells]

HA-HAHAHA! You rock Brad. Will this one be another daily drive, or do you have some special plans for it?

 

[VR-04-TT]

Awesome!!

 

[DarkVR4]

Your addicted Brad, im sure OZVR4 can refer you to someone to talk about your problem............. on second thoughts thats a great addiction to have........lets see how many legnums Brad can buy!!

 

[bradc]

It isn't a VR-4 though, it is an ST-R, non-turbo V6. Still a manual though, and it is a very nice colour

Meister Blue, Sunroof, nice car

LOL!

so you gonna get rid of the white vr then?

how much was the str?

 

[bradc]

yeah gonna get rid of the white one, once I move the seats, wheels and headdeck across

 

[kiwibstokes]

i think your addicted to the Legnum, either you have a lot of people and gear to move, which i suggest you buy a bus or (and i know) NZ have lots of cheap cars, because of their relaxed import laws, i reckon i could of bought about 6, 97 GDI's for the price of me VR4

haha.. my girlfriend has a stagea, and i've got a legnum.. dont really need all the space, but hey, good sleepers.

 

[bogan bob]

LOL can never have enough legnums, hey brad

 

[trounced]

can this one be registered i didnt think we could register anything other then vr4

 

[bogan bob]

He's in sheep shagger land Wes, so they can register almost anything and have all the legnum models over there, not just our vr4s

 

[bradc]

I can't see why not, no model of Legnum was sold in Aus, and the ST-R's even have the same chassis number as VR-4's, EC5W

 

[bogan bob]

Import laws say we cant Theres something about meeting a minimum power to weight ratio which i dont think the non turbo versions meet

 

[bradc]

but look at all of the shitboxes that are sold new over there.

 

[Guest]

WE can only import "performance Cars" as Grey imports, Other wise we would have a poo load of base model old Jap cars comming in, and then no one would want to buy VN's and EB's a a first car

So why the change Brad? fuel or other reason's ?

 

[bradc]

fuel, servicing, fear of the auto blowing up, and this ST-R is perfect, the towbar is very important, and it would have cost quite a bit to get a good one put onto the white VR-4, and towing would only increase the risk of the trans blowing up.

ST-R's are basically bullet proof, the engine is very strong, as is the gearbox and I hope it will last me for a long time.

I only bought the white VR-4 as a stop gap while my purple car was off the road, I was originally looking for a manual ST-R, but the cheapest I could find was $7500 and it had done 150km's, and didn't have a towbar. I bought the white one because it was only $4000 with a blown gearbox and I had a spare one sitting around. I was always going to sell it for the right ST-R.
