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.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
