  1. I thought I would post an update.
    I had 3 reasons to change my rear to a manual/260rs version
    1. My rear cradle was a bit rusty. Could have fixed it but could not be bothered
    2. To reduce the rear track by 50mm to match the front end so I can run the same offset wheels front to rear
    3. Fit the larger diameter 6x1 bolt drive shafts and mechanical lsd to handle the power upgrades.
    So I bought a manual rear end out of a wrecked stagea.
    When I got around to changing it over, I discovered that my car, originally a series 2 auto, had the bigger drive shafts.
    Basically it is the same as the manual rear end, but is 50mm wider in track.
    It had the 6x1 bolt half shafts. The tail shaft is also alot heavy than the standard auto version.
    I will also have to check the size if the bearings in the rear hubs as I know GTR's have bigger ones than the gtst version
    Not sure if the auto diff is mechanical, but could be?
    So I assume this rear end was a factory option?




    So I'm looking to change over to a complete 33gtr rear end. Will there be any issues I run into at all?
    Getting a new set of coilovers also so I'll be able to just get rears suit 33gtr.

    I'm thinking entire rear so I can fit my wheels without doing flares and while only running -2° camber, changes shafts and diff which was my initial plan anyway.
    Car is s1, wheels are 19x10.5+18 SSRs

  2. had a crack at this today, but im gonna wait another couple of days for the fuel level to go down to make it easier. I have a S1 and my pump cradle was different and I couldn't figure out how to get it out because it was deep in petrol and hard to see.

    (Sorry about posting on an old post)

    I'm in the same boat mate, no idea how to get the cradle open.

    Anyone in Melbourne know how to install a walbro 255 on an s1 stag?

  3. Yeah I'd assume as much.

    Did he post anything about it on here?

    I have a power fc ready to go and a few other bits and a perfectly good neo hence why the question about the change.

    Is the series 2 manual gearbox compatible with non neo rb25det?

    There just doesn't seem to be any series 2 manuals that haven't hit 200xxx clicks.

    Cheers for the heads up though mate.

  4. Hey Ben.

    Only reason I had considered a manual conversion was the one I'm looking at has the r34 front conversion done and it's a pretty decent price. Automatics just hurt my heart haha.

    I know there is probably a lot of work with the conversion but I have the bits available, can you elaborate a bit more?

  5. Hi guys, Matty here.

    Been reading for a few months but only joined recently.

    Unfortunately had my stagea s2 rs4 manual written off and am looking to buy another stag asap.

    Love the car to bits and I will be parting it in the next month or so.

    ATM I can only find series 1 stageas for sale, and the one I am looking at is pretty clean. Wondering whether it's worth doing a manual/engine changeover to the neo/manual from my series 2?

    Please let me know what you think and hope to be cruising again soon.
