Don't get me wrong, I love my Stagea, but there are limited comparable cars around, like I have only seen legnums and caldinas around and thats it. Not to mention forester GTs I suppose, but I dont rate them.

Has anyone driven one of the Mitsubishi's wagons?? They are more expensive than an autech 260 it seems, would they be worth the coin$$$?

How do you reckon they would compare (260 vs EVO)?

Examples of the EVOs:

well, for a start they don't een appear on the SEVS register, let alone have a compliancer in this country.

My opinion, going purely on paper numbers and the look?

*FAPPETY FAPPETY FAPPETY FAPPETY*

Hmmm, I do really like the black one, I like it a lot. I just couldnt justify spending almost $40K on a mitsubishi!! I could get an awesome autech stagea and do it up for that price.....

Yeah, they looking for interest before they apply for SEVS, it should get approval you'd think.

Yeah not entirely convinced... its an evo after all so really doesn't compair to a stagea size wise. It is more of a comparison to a WRX wagon i recon. Still im not a massive fan of the styling really the back lights done anything for me at all, just my 2c

Hmm, I was sure there was someone on here who had driven one, I read about it once but I can remember where. Seeing as though it isnt approved for SEVS it must be one of the guys who is from or has been in Japan.

I'm still struggling to justify the price anyway, just wondering how good it really is??

Hey bro,

They have had a Libero GT wagon in nz for a while now with the 4G93T and evo running gear.

My mate did a 4G63T conversion very easily and it hammered along.

I think the evo wagon is a bit bigger than a rex and is a good compromise for size against a stag.

It is a bit pricey but remember it is still a 2006 low km car.

They also have GT4 powered caldinas and legnums that are reasonably priced.

Check out trademe in nz (Kiwis build killer cars!) and all your regular importers, aus has to get them sooner or later.

Coming into some cash next year and I certainly will be rethinking.

I still got a soft spot for nissans though..

looks like a big round bus. im thinking L300 on steroids. take the stag for style anyday. and the fact that it's still only a 4 cylinder would make me think how practicull it could be for long distance driving or lugging around decent size loads or 5 adults.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
