Was that an optional Nissan viscous lsd or an aftermarket other brand?
original nissan option

Finally found and fitted a limited slip diff for a series one stagea.
To celerbrate went to a historic racing event at Brooklands
After a bit (well a lot actually ) of chatting up one of the marshalls
and yes it was a her . I was allowed to drive onto one of the no go areas and take this picCurrently being blown up for my lounge wall

I think my swaybar bushes are stuffed on the front.
Something rattles when I go over bumps.
Does anyone know if R33 GTR have the same ones?
I have fitted whiteline swaybars to both front and rear and used the ones designated to fit a 33GTR
Front ones fit perfectly and the rears fit but the "bend" in the rear sway bar appears to be very close to the mounting to the body and looks like it may damage the bushes. This may be because the rear track on the stagea is wider.
However two years on they are still functioning fine and bushes look exactly as they dd when we fitted them
Car is a series one RS Four

Oh sorry if i steps on anyone toes.
No probem
Just so you know the threads been deleted to avoid confusion .
Its nothing personal and thanks for thinking of us.

Yeah that could be right but I'am still passing email on with Uk club and seeing they have a few numbers as well that want this too
they should'nt have any problems from there end
Keep ya updated
As chairman of the UK owners club I have been co ordinating this in the uk as unlike in oz stagea owners in the UK are spread across 4 forums.
We too have been running this one master list for theUK for about 15 months and this fact is on the original thread here as we wanted to keep everyone updated
People in the UK have ordered them. We were up to 16 but time has eroded interest plus some dont have the car now .So we are probably around 12.
Because we are on the list already we have of course already received the recent email direct ( a few times)
In fact to confirm the current uk numbers I posted new threads on all 4 Uk forums about the manuals saying they are now available with all the relevant details plus a bit about postage to the UK .
It was entitled STAGEA WORKSHOP MANUALS NOW AVAILABLE. I have also exchanged emails yesterday and today with the company about a one off bulk shipment to the uk once they are printed.
So unfortunately MasterJ you have confused everyone over here by posting your long thread the day after the I put this updated new thread in all the stagea sections .
I do appreciate you mean well but things are under control over here .You would have seen this if you had bothered to read our stagea section before you posted in it as its the most recent thread.
So far we have 3 confirmed in well under 24 hours

BLO has to be THE best colour released for R32's.
I had a shitload of BLO pics but cant find them.
If you manage to find one (most were v specs) buy it.
This is BLO .
I imported into the UK from Japan because of the colour about 18 months ago . It belonged to a family of a contact I have out there so I know a lot of the history . Car has done 65.000 miles and was standard apart from some bolt on mods.
I have spent the last year turning it back to factory spec and it should be on the road by the end of this month,
Having done some research the reason most were V specs is that the colour was special order only so most who ordered it and waited chose a V spec.
Unfortunately this isnt but I just love the colour . Not sure it will look better with the standard wheels though.
There is a thread about the car in the projects section on this site http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re...in-t309264.html
it is hopefully going to be fetured in one of the UK mags so I will be able to post much better some pics when its done
PS A mate in the Uk has a TH1 car next meet we are at I will get a pic of them side by side

What Have You Done To Your Stagea Today?
Well today I think I finally shagged 2nd gear trying to get a decent stading 1/4 time.
So now looking for some uprated internals ( and a bank manager that understands nissans)
-
yea i saw that it was only for the 26
i was thinking that it should be similar because it is a 4wd 25
hm... i guess no one uses nismo mounts in their stagea
I have them in my stagea.
It does have an rb26 but I am sure the mounts are the same as RB25 because the car had the original stagea ones before they were changed
-
Can make 300kw (400hp) from an RB25 no problem so RB26 not needed for that power level!
Agreed I would not change a 25 for a 26 for that power. I didnt say you need a 26 I said it was easier
Sure you can get there with a 25 but if you have a 26 induction, exhaust , ecu and a boost controller and you are easily there ( mine made 420)
-
didn't realise it was your site
seems like there is a bif of info on there
needs some bits and pieces about the rs4s's
Because of age the RS Four S has only been available in the uk recently so there not much info on this model over here yet.
-
Hi Darrin,
for my money, it'd be a RB30 bottom end with whatever head you felt like: you wouldn't have too much trouble reaching your power goal with any of them, yes?
You're more than welcome to take mine for a spin and see what you think: I find the 26 a bit lacking in low end: if we were to have the time again, I would have opted for a 3L.
Depends what type of power/drive you want
If you want 400bhp Id go stage 1 RB26 with a power Fc any more an RB30 is may be better
I went down the forged Rb26 route but I had the engine in the car already and I wanted 500hp atw With 2860-5s there isnt much lag ( 470ish ft lbs at 4500rpm with virtually no drop untill 6500) .
plus it sounds insane over 7500rpm on high boost
Despite this if I had to do it again I probably would go RB 30 though a gearbox may be needed if you do too many drags
Apologies but everything is hp not KW in the UK

The series one version of the Stagea was first produced in October 1966 until late 1998
LOLZ!
1966 never seen one that old.
Thanks for what I think are meant to be positive comments. It is/was my first attempt at a website so there were always bound to be mistakes. In fact almost all the info that was wrong came from wikipedia .
Will be getting an update soon .

Had a few goes today
5.04 at 1.3 bar and 4.56 at 1.5 with a 60 foot time of 2.35 Thats using a correct speed reading (GPS)
Then managed a near perfect launch and missed 2nd gear
-
Ive got the dynolicious program on my Iphone . Going to a meet today so may find somewhere to try it out.
-
Nismo did a digital display similar to the R34GTR for a stagea. Even had WGNC34 on the box and fitting instructions.
It is in the Nismo catalogue but I have only ever seen one advertised ever ( was in Japan a few years ago and I am still kicking myself for not buying it)
I will try to find some pics,
-
Bear in mind RSFOURUK that most of the world uses km/hr not miles/hour. But it still looks a bit quick to me.
Yes sorry about that
The 260RS was supposed to do 0-60mph (100kmph is 62,5mph) in 6 seconds so 5.65 would be a fair bit quicker.
-
So mine is:
Model: S2 RS4S
Mods: Turbo back exhaust, constant high boost mode
Power: 137 awkw (from prev owner, was running 7psi but is now running 10)
->0-100 Time: 5.65 as read from the ecutalk (with a quite a bit of clutch slip)
Cheers, Tom
O-100 in 5.65 - I should check your reading

A few pics from the UK
Rear seats center console and door cards retrimmed to match the Recaros
F Con mounted in the glove compartment
yellow remote switch (greddy) on steering wheel changes boost from low to high
Momo Steering wheel
guages are electronic apexi EL2 with control unit under dash
Greddy boost controller replaces switches which are now on right hand side of steering wheel
Parking sensor display is in bottom corner of windscreen
Carbon swtich cover , speedo , center console ,
Soon to go in - I have a spare set of all the plastic trims which have been sprayed satin black . Tonneau cover has also been re trimmed black to match.

Just wondered what times the quickest Stageas in oz/nz/japan were running .
Does anyone have any confirmed run times

To answer a few questions
Its just a case of making sure everybody knows you want stock bits . A thread like this one on GTRoc forum in the UK has helped a lot.
Theres lots of bits lying around as people take them off to upgrade. The cost is usually not too bad (being a mate of the guy with the shocks helped)
The shocks and seats came from the same place - a loft . One of the guys I know GTRoc in the UK had ordered them and never fitted them. He was building a mint 32 but sold the car and bought the gold top secret 33.
Same with the wheels got pmd by someone who lived 30 minutes drive away.
The colour BLO was a special order only colour for 32GTRs so is probably the rarest facory colour. Its translated as greyish blue pearl. It a full pealescent and looks different in different light. Its a bit weird and goes from lilac to steel blue but seems to stay the same colour all over
3 more pics taken on the same day as the first one
Ive now got virtually all the bits including the exhaust
Came off of a freshh import and the guy knew I wanted one from the forum.
It was virtually new and as they are so hard to get I treatd it to some TLC.
It was bead blasted and then ali sprayed. Looked silly in white so sprayed it with some VHT exhaust paint from a custom motorbike shop. They do all colours including chrome and metallic Black.
Now all I have to do is find time to fit all the bits. I will probably take some days off and do it all in one go ; hopefully in the next month.
-
Yeah, but is it a series one RS-Four with RB26 fitted later on, or a factory series 1 Autech 260RS?
If it's a genuine Autech, I'd say it should already have full R33 GTR running gear (including R33 GTR suspension, diffs, drive-shafts, etc.) so the parts from the RS-Four *might not* fit. I'm not sure if the RS-Four and 260RS/GTR diff housings would be the same, so who knows if parts would be interchangeable.
sorry I can see my first post did not make things clear.
In an ealier life it was a series one RS four auto .
It has been converted to manual with a Tomei RB26 engine running just over 500bhp at the wheels. (which is why I want an LSD)
Although extensively moddified it still has the RS Four drivetrain with std dif. Ive wanted a LSD for some time but I cant use a gtr/autech diff without a major amount of work.
Altough rare Ive finally found an auto series one car with the factory LSD option so it should physically fit without a problem. (hopefully)
My question was does any one know what other work/problems I will need to sort.
-
Car is series one stagea with forged rb 26 and GTR gearbox so has the same diff as a std series one stagea
-
I have just got hold of a Series 1 stagea with a factory LSD fitted
Thinking it would be much more use in my rb26 manual stag than in an auto one so would be grateful of some help/comments
I am assumng it will be worthwhile as cost is not an issue as have the donor car so can swop any/all bits -All Ive got to worry about is actually swopping the diffs
Will I need to swop the front diffs as well ( different ratios ?)
What other work will be involved
-
Thought I would post some details of my 1991 32 GTR which I am restoring to the original factory spec. If Ive posted in the wrong section please feel free to move it
I imported it direct from Japan with full history . It has 103.000Km on the clock which I am sure is genuine as I know the Japanese family it came from.
It is in one of the rarest GTR colours - BLO which was a special order only so putting it back to stock just seemed the right thing to do . ( plus it will save me a fortune as I wont be able to mod it
) I know it wont be anywhere near as fast as a modded car but I already have a pretty quick stagea so thats not a problem.The car is in extremely good condition and seems to have virtually no rust . At first glance it appeared to be close to standard but when I made a detailed list I realised it needed quite a few parts especially inside the car
I have found pretty much everything including a close to mint interior and set of standard wheels which will go on when I fit my favourite find - a set of brand new GTR suspension units still in the Nissan boxes !! .
The only thing I need is a stock exhaust system which has been a nightmare to find as I am in the uk .
I have a GTS one which fits but have been told the GTR system was 3 inch wheras this is 2.5. If Anyone knows better please let me know.
A pic of the car
Lastly I have been told the strut brace is stock but thought it was originally red ?. Again if anyone can confirm I would be grateful.
A few more pics
Any help with the exhaust or strut brace would be very much appreciated
and yes it was a her . I was allowed to drive onto one of the no go areas and take this pic
) I know it wont be anywhere near as fast as a modded car but I already have a pretty quick stagea so thats not a problem.
Brake Upgrade?

I have fitted AP Racing discs and calipers to my stagea as the existing r34GTr ones struggled when I put 2860-5 turbos on .
Used a set for a skyline and everything fitted no problem . My hubs use 14mm bolts so everything was just bolt on except I had to grind off one small bit as it fouled the AP brackets
Before
After
Discs and calipers on
Wheels on (18 inch) and yes I know there are only two wheel nuts on
