Its a special edition Stagea known as the Prime Edition.

Characterized by a few extra niceties that don't appear on other Stageas, such as the woodgrain inserts on the steering wheel, extra powerpoints on the console and other stuff. John (Appealing) would be able to fill you in a bit more on this - He owns a snackalicious bayside blue S2 Prime Ed

Oh ok, thats what it would b then, hey here's another question for all the stagea owners, i have found a switch which sit's right beside my foot, if it were on the accelerator, it has gook writing on it, but doesn't seem to make any difference on or off, i rang the dealer which i bought the car from and he had no idea, but the other 5 stagea's in the yard have the same switch.

WHAT DOES IT DO!

And 1 last thing, my stagea gear box has just just failed, it has done a "shift solanoid", and is in limp mode. Has anyone else had this problem?, good thing fot that warranty

SO i Spotted my first 'brother' in Melbourne last night....Awesome Looking Bayside Blue (it was dark, i was drunk, and my GF was driving so she couldn't have cared less!) with plates R34WGN - didn't get a chance to see if it had the 34 front end, but it def had a 260RS rear wing!. It was on City road at about 12.00pm just behind the casino......ANYONE ON HERE? Say hi!

Hey Russell, can you post up your pics again, cos since the re-hosting of the site, they are no longer there.

Your car does sound like a Prime edition. There are a lot more knick-knacks that you should have though. Like Auto lights, Full electric seats, Leather & wood wheel and Centre console. Auto closing rear door.

I have no idea about the switch at your right foot. I have never heard of it. If all the cars in the same yard have it then maybe it is something fitted there. Just had a look at mine and definately doesn't have anything in that area. Sounds like you might have to trace this one to find out, unless someone else knows.

I was told, when I bought mine that the transmission is a weakness in the Stagea, (which was venomously denied by others on this site). I was also told that they can start plying up at around 140,000km. Sounds like having the warranty was a good idea in your case. I have had no probs though. (touch woodgrain). Did you get to keep your Xenons? The twin sunroofs are an option, mine doesn't have them. Cheers John

Hello john, yes it has all the options you said, no i didn't get to keep the lights, should i be asking for them? my car only had 68 000km's on it when i got it and now has 73000 kms, it appears to be genuine k's too but who knows.

i have had an awesome time trying to track the shift solanoid for that car, i found a 97 stag that my mate just happen to get in on monday, so we took that gear box out only to find that the internals are different (for the tiptronic i guess), i have finally sourced one from NZ which should be here by the end of the week

Spotted - this morning on the early news there was a story about a young bloke in Japan who presented himself at the local police station carrying his mothers decapitated head (!)

The overhead shot of the police removing the rest of the corpse from his house showed quite clearly his silver S1 Stagea with dual sunroofs standing proudly in the driveway. Did anyone else see this?

I LOL'ed :dry:

Hey his name wasn't Grant was it?...... It wasn't near a US base was it?......notice that he's been quiet the couple a days?? :laughing-smiley-014:

Hey Russell, depends who complied your car. I was lucky. If you can get the globes back, you can get a sparky to refit them. They do make an amazing difference. Not blinding though. You'll know in time if the km's are genuine. I found out mine were when I changed the spark plugs, all the wiring under the covers has date tags on they crumble when touched, (probabaly due to the heat under there). Mine had 78,000 now 83,000. (see the thread "it gonna be a blue 2007")..... very nice car by the way...... not sure about that VULVA badge though. I used to say to my self only a C**T owns a Vulva. :laughing-smiley-014:

Ok i'll post some pics of the switch when i get my car back, hopefully end of the week!

And the volvo badge was just a joke, i didn't put it on there, i come out from work one day and there it was, it's coming off

Maybe start a new thread in the stag section as this is a little bit off topic

cheers

Spotted one today 17 may, Silver S2 parked at the top od Dibbs street Adamstown about 1:30, then right around the corner where William st meets Garden Grove pde was a white S1 outside the RDA brakes place

Edited by eemo_crash

Spotted a White Stagea around 1:20pm going up kariong hill in gosford and one came in to check out the central coast meet in karalta rd tonight - didn't stop though... must be scared of all the lines, evos and the odd wrx lol.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
