oh, a valve body upgrade..

in that case DO A SEARCH as i have posted in 3 threads about it in the last 2 weeks...

im not looking for a valve body upgrade. im looking for a fully manualised auto which im pretty sure is called 'quickshift'.

pkblade is referring to a short shift kit which is in the manuals.

Hey SECUR1TY let us know how you go with Dynamic Racing Transmissions. Prices etc.

What have you got on your line atm? Power?

Do you have a transcooler yet?

Are you getting problems with your auto box?

will do.

191ish kw.

yes.

yes. the problem is close to being fixed (im buying a new TPS and seeing how i go).

with the valve body upgrade does the car shift gears as soon as you put it into 2nd from first etc?

Sorry wasnt too sure what you meant, havent heard that term before...'quickshift'.

If your planning to stick with the RE4RO1A, there are two main ways to go manualised auto/ clutchless manual/ semi-automatic or what ever you want to call it:

1) Manual valve body & sports shifter (optional); or

2) MV Auto's electronic shift controller, shift kit (optional but recommended) & sports shifter (optional).

I took the later path w/ the ever so popular B&M pro-ratchet shifter. Clicky to check out the range -> http://www.bmracing.com/index.php?id=produ...sid=2&cat=2

With either of the 2 options you can install stand alone computers (ie. Power FC, Motec etc) :rolleyes:.

Also, if you decide to get a B&M shifter, MV Auto's have the custom brackets for it to fit.

thanks so much for that!

what $ figure am i looking at to go with either set up?

Dont remember what I was quoted for the full manual valve body but, you can try emailing KEAS for one http://www.keas.com.au/contact.htm

Here are some approx costs for the second set up:

MV Auto shift controller $260

B&M 4speed gated or ratchet shifters $200-400 (check out ebay)

RE401A selector brackets for shifter $50

Labour for the above is about $300

Also, your current shifter console surround will no longer fit so, a custom one will need to be fabricated.

+ Shift kit $350 (exchange).

You might find interesting to know according to Mike from MV Auto's a healthy RE4 trans w/ supporting mods is good for up to 300rwkw without touching the planetary gear set, whereas Paul from KEAS believes its only good for 240rwkw.

BTW how many km's has your trans done?

    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
