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?

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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
