Welcome aboard, Charlie, Gerard and "BUT Y." :P

A Sydney cruise will be in the making fairly soon, we're waiting until the weather warms up a bit. Right now, it's great for the cars, but once you stop for a chat and/or some photos, the weather bites - I'm a skinny mo-fo, so I feel the cold straight away!

Xmetal and I have discussed putting something together (although we welcome all ideas and suggestions from anyone and everyone), and it will likely include a photoshoot...

Jap AV head unit (what am I going to do with that?)

Hey Luke, I plug the ipod into the front 3.5mm AV sockets for Music videos while cruising. :banana:

Just took a bit of soldering to make up a lead (3.5mm combined vid and sound to two seperate 3.5 mm plugs for sound and video)

Couldn't find a pre made one anywhere

Hi guys. Just joined not long ago. I am driving around in a 2003 M35 Pearl white Stagea RS Four Autech with 20inch wheels, dark windows, lowered with a 3inch exhaust system. I have to say its the best value for money car I have ever had. Also the fuel economy is impressive.

**confused**

ive not seen a 2003 M35 RS four Autech, can you post a pic to help explain?

I will get a pic up soon. It has a different front bar and a rear spoiler and an Autech badge on the boot. I am not sure on the different models yet but I am learning slowly.

just picked mine up last friday

silver 96 series1 rs4-v

stock as stock at the moment, but need a couple of things fixed before i go upgrading things- drivers side mirror fold-in motor needs sorting out, stock speakers sound like they're busted (oh damn, looks a like a stereo upgrade :D ). I love the look of it as is - no badges on it anywhere apart from the RSfour badge on the front grill. All i'm looking at changing for the moment is the exhaust, intake, possibly an FMIC, but we'll see :rofl:

We just bought ours, '97 S1 RS Four Dayz. Nismo springs/shocks, Nismo full exhaust, HKS turbo actuator, M's pod, decent Jap-spec Sony upgrade stereo (although getting a bit slow to load tracks, may upgrade), Splitfires, twin sunroofs, S2 style steering wheel, cloth interior, clear rear indicators. Lovely car really.

I currently own a R32GTR but have recently acquired a Autech 260RS. Its still in Japan awaiting shipment - I cant wait!

Here's the only pics I have.

Its a 97 model, apparently its had a fair amount of work done to it as far as engine mods go. LOL all I've been told is its quick :(

Aftermarket Front mount, exhaust, steering wheel ....

Also I've got a second Stagea, just an RS four that I bought for its immaculate black leather interior, electric seats and trim that I'll be transferring over to the 260RS when it arrives.

Then I'll sell the RS four. Also got a set of R34GTR rims in the garage ready for its arrival.

Hey fellas,

Just picked up a series one stag from a dude off this forum, got it pretty cheap.

Have been in some pretty scarey cars but this is my first import and dont know too much about em.

Any way here it is a S1 97 Stagea RSfour Dayz Edition 93 000kms, stock as a rock.

Seems very clean and have had it for about 2 months or so, I have some big plans for it in the future..

Hi guys

I'm new to the SAU forums, but if you're on the Southern Skylines Forum then you have heard my spiel before...

My name's Andrew, I work as a techie at the University of Otago in Dunedin, NZ. I have been keen on Stageas since I was about 13 and I've had a S1 25X since February this year:

Since I don't own a real camera, I took most of the pics on a Sony Ericsson Camera phone. That's why they are a bit noisy/grainy. I borrowed my Sister's camera to take the first one, though. All these pics were taken at random times throughout the year, so the car is in a varying state of cleanliness :P

My ICE is currently the factory speakers, mated to a ForYou DVU706 'multimedia reciever' for playing DVDs and reading mp3 files from an SD card, plus a Kenwood MZ-907 (for standard CDs, and that oh, so strange tech-fetish, the minidisc). Mechanically the car is stock, but I put an airhorn in because I thought the original horn sounded awful. To each their own I suppose.

Well, that's me :P

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
