Howdy All

Just picked up my new fire engine red s2. I am seriously impressed with the power and driveability.

Was hoping you guys could help me out with a couple of things.

1. It looks like the previous owner must have disabled/removed the HID headlights as there are DIY wire joiners behined the bulbs. Is there any way to refit new HID bulbes, ballasts?

2. How do 18x 9.5 inch rims fit under rear gaurds? Was looking at

Manaray 18"

18x8.5 +46 5x114.3

18x9.5 +48 5x114.3

What do you think?

Car is dead stock ATM but am looking at doing a few low key mods in the near future.

Any help is appreciated.

Matt

Oh. I (and stagea) is located in Newcastle NSW

Very very nice, well done.

Ive got a Series 1 so cant offer too much advice about the lights, however with the mags, you MUST run same width front and rear - or risk stuffing the 4wd system.

18 x 8.5inch width should be ok front and rear.

Best of luck with it all !

Hey that was quick!

Cheers for the info. Ill have to try and find a matched set of rims.

One more question, does anyone know where I can get a hold of nissan central locking key fob? Car only came with one. Is there an aftermarket key that will do the job?

Also do S2's come factory with a 3 point imobiliser?

CHeers

I dont know, but any half decent alarm system should do the central locking as well.

Kid flushed ours down the toilet (still bloody blocked too).

So yeah, we lost 1 x car key and 1 x alarm keypad

bought a new keypad off ebay but need it calibrated some how, could do with a new key, too

Plus Im a cheapskate and didnt pay that $20 the fella wanted to wire up the alarm to the central locking !

Hi Matt,

Nice work on the Stag!

You are going to need that 3 point alarm for insurance right? Well anything factory fitted won't cut it as far as I know, you will need a Black wired, 3 point immob, Aust standards approved alarm so don't worry about the standard key fob as you will have a new remote with the alarm and you can get more keys cut from a Patrol blank I hear...

Welcome and enjoy!

Cheers

Luke

LOL

glad to be of service

ebay, $160 delivered, black wired full Australian insurance approved, called a Black Widow.

Ive got a new (cheap; ebay) keypad but I heard I had to go to Strathfield to get it coded correctly.

All in good time; probably go there and get them to throw in a DVD player (head unit only) to make it worth their while.

So you wont pay $20 to hook up the central locking, but several hundred for a dvd player just so you can get the keypad hooked up..... :(

thats right, as I'll sell the Clarion 180w tape head unit and 6stack Clarion CD player fo a cple hundred !

so a dvd player will cost me nothing, in essence.

anyone interested? I can assure you all that the CD player has never skipped and both units are in awesome condition. But for me 700mb isnt long enough - give me 3.7gig of pure trance, thanks !

Wheels

The other posts are correct for same width front and rear, but only if your car is a 4WD

If it is RWD, you can have different widths

The offsets you have quoted are wrong

Those wheels will sit too far in and most likely foul the suspension

You need something more like +35 on a 8.5 rim and 9.5 rim may just not fit

The biggest rim width most Stagea have on them are 9.0 +30 (33/34 GTR offset) and they run every close to sitting outside the guards

Headlights

These would have been zenon's from factory, but under compliance they have to be converted back to standard type bulbs. Unfortunitly you cannot convert the lights back to factory zenon bulbs, plus they are illegal.

The ATTESSA doesn't care about width of wheels/tyres, the only thing that it cares about is the diameter. They have to be the same front and rear.

Mine has 17 X 9 X 30mm offset, standard R33GTR wheels with 245/40/17 tyres and they are JUST inside the rear guards at 1.25 degrees negative camber.

As you can see they are just legal (particularly the rear);

:( cheers :(

PS; they don't rub, even with the race car on trailer towed behind

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
