Any one from here own or know who owns this stagea? http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...te=All%20States

Sorry I should of thought about what I was posting before I did, searched a little but couldn't really work out what I was searching for at that second. With the exaust i've been driving a subaru liberty 2.2 litre with a straight 2.5" exhaust with only a barely muffled cannon (loudest most drowny thing ever) I love the sound of the rb series motor but how well does it hold up with an automatic (longer gear ratios) does it drown? Would it be a better idea to leave the fmic until I get into some actually ecu tuning (read some not so good stories of small problems arrising from fmic's)? As this will be a pretty slow project as i'm only an apprentice. I'll deffinately have a look at the arc cooler, I was thinking of going with a front facing intake though as the idea of the intake pipe going straight over the valve cover just seems stupid to me (mightn't do anything performance wise but was hoping would reduce turbo lag from fmic.) Yeah I know coilovers may give a much harsher ride but I was hoping to get onto the track with it a bit when I come into some money to fix it if things go astray. The g4's are rebuildable and come with different rated springs apon request at no extra cost.

I should be receiving my very first stagea mid to end of this week hopefully if all works out well. a 1997 rs four v dayz (my guessing from what i've read on this forum) with leather interior rb25det. The car is 100% stock and was wondering what is the first thing I should do to increase the power/appeal/feel of the car would be? I've been looking around and was thinking of a few possibilities 1) a whole exhaust, going with a low mount exhaust manifold, 3" dump pipe, 3" highflow cat, twin front pipe, and 3" back from there with 2 mufflers of some sort. My brother is a stainless steel welder so most likely will be done by him (from the front pipe back). 2) a set of g4 stagea coilovers from justjap.com , Haven't been able to find any other stagea coilover parts in australia (not really willing to buy over seas) 3) some 18's haven't really decided on what look I want or what goes with the car really yet though 4) Fmic and bov for that mean look (it's more of a last choice at the moment no real point with a stock turbo and such) Apart from those I am looking for a r32 gtst waste gate actuator so I can run 10psi constant (do I need a boost controller of any sort for this mod?) I've been looking around and was wondering when the stock fuel/boost cut occurs on the stock ecu of a stock stagea? Thanks if any of you's read my ramblings

Hopefully mid next week I will have my hands on a 97 rs 4 dayz stagea and was wondering what the possibility of finding the factory cruise control gear would be? I've done a bit of a google search and ebay search for skyline and stagea cruise control gear but to no avail. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
