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.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
