You should go to the stagea discussion section, lots of information in there...as far as im aware stageas 96/97 were only made in auto.... series 2 came in manual...some ppl have done a manual conversion to their 97 stag's but you can check that out in that section...coming across manuals are pretty rare and can be quite expensive....lucky enough to have a series one auto and a series 2 black manual in our driveway :)

No, the 97 was the series 1, only available in Auto. thre are quite a few of us in the process of doing manual conversion, myself included. they're not too hard, as now we all have the part numbers for what bits you need. if you like manuals then yes it's definately worth doing. try and find a cheaper stock stagea and then convert that, it'll be much more beneficial.

    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
