Hello All.

I have just ordered a 97 Stagea through Prestige Motorsport. Check it out on http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/modul...hp?StockID=4102

First plan is to drop the suspension a couple of inches, install a better stereo and then work on a few minor mods to the engine (intake and exhaust mainly).

I will have to catch up with those of you in Perth once the car arrives - due in December.

Nice.... dayz bodykit with the optional Momo steering wheel ! mmmmmmmmm

Good luck with it all.

Suspension - look at the Group Buy thru Sydneykid. Bilstein shocks, Whiteline springs and swaybars.

With the exhaust, dont settle for cat-back, definately go turboback, 3inch.

Now the wait begins, hey. hehehehe

Thanks guys.

I have been thinking about buying one for a while but couldnt be bothered with the whole changing cars trouble. When i got the update from Prestige with this wagon i jumped at it and bought it. Yes - the wait is a killer - only another 6 weeks - i hope. I have already read up about the group buy and am keen for the bilsteins and lowered springs then i will follow up with the sway bars etc.

I was going to import an evo7 but the wife was not as keen so when i said i am buying a family( 180kw! ) wagon of for less than half the price she was blown away. Anyway, at least that leaves some cash for mods.

    • Make sure you use the spherical bushes** on the lower arms, ifyou do that. ** at least, if not the whole replacement lower arm.
    • The tap for coolant flow control will be stuck open. It's not just the air door motor that dies.
    • Not really, but the heater box is pretty simple mechanically....if the door is one way the air bypasses the heater core and if it is the other way it goes through it for warm air.  If you are sure the actuator you moved manually is for the heater mix (there would also be one for output air direction) then I'd take the heater box out and see what is happening (you'll have to regass and re-coolant the systems afterwards) BTW pp724 onwards from the GTR workshop manual cover the system in good detail, it is probably worth checking. I think the IAT sensor might be a problem electrically for getting cold (if you got 24 error code not -24 it thinks the incoming air is -50c) and it covers how to test the sensor (although most likely it is either not plugged in or a wire is damaged)
    • Use the GKTech subframe bush and bring your subframe 10mm closer to the chassis. You'll need to fix an exhaust hanger to suit. One of the best mods I've done.
    • You'd really have to pull it apart further to know, it least you can be confident that the one heading to the back is not connected any more. There was once a ground on the shifter seal mount too, your head unit issue could be that simple
