What are you going to do regarding the engine harness? The question is, IS the stagea plug the same as a R34 GTT?

If need be, use a R34 GTT harness

There is one for sale at the moment for $400

When my 2 Stagea's get here in approx 3 weeks, I will be able to compare my S1 and S2 side by side, and also have my R33 GTST to compare with if need be.

Also my importer mate has 2-off S2 Stagea Neo engines with "manual boxes" attached coming this week, so I will be comparing them aswell.

i Spoke to John at UAS yesterday, he can supply, fit and dyno tune a power fc onto a S2 rs four s stagea for $2200

Bozidar, who i work with for saikoogarage.com can do an installed an tuned pfc for 1800. You'd probably get change.

And he can sure tune em - he built a 180sx w/ SR20DET up that does 11.3 quarters.

the next thing of course is which specific model FC to get? as there are a few different ones available?

if anyone has a specific part number/model number would be a good thing to go on.

would make life easier when searching the net or shops for prices etc.

Thats really does suck, because i do believe well in my case anyway that it is a waste of time and money going manual, i would just be better off buying a 260rs which im not going to do as of yet anyway, or just going back to an S13/14/15 manual standard from factory.

If you want manual buy a car manual from factory, conversions are always a pain in the arse.... and that is from experience

but for the guys who bought their stags a while back when manuals were up around 30k self import and autos were 15 to 20 grand still a cheaper proposition to go manual via a conversion and also with the ratios of manuals to autos it far easier to find a car with everything you want and the colour you want for a good price than a similar manual

my 2c

I fully understand what you are saying, and i give props to anyone who has done or is going to convert to manual.

Basically my point that i was trying to make was its a shame they dont make auto pfc, as i dont intend on going manual, well in the short term anyway.

And im sure a lot less people would go manual if they new they could get pfc for auto.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
