I have purchased all the parts myself and have done all the work up to needing a hoist. I'm paying a workshop to do the work that needs a hoist and set the clutch system up so I can drive it home then I will finish it off.

It will end up being around $3,000 - $3,500 not including the centre console. I will work that out later ether moding the auto one, making up a new one using the auto one or maybe buy a manual one if that won’t work.

I just got the pun about the "manual in the stag."

Some of us (ie. me) are a bit slow around here.

Maybe that's what they mean when they say auto's are a bit slow on the uptake...and I thought it was just the cars, not the owners!

Age is finally catching up with me.

Wen i got my auto S1 it had a manual in the glove box. Effffiiiinnn HAHAHAHA!!!

The more I drive the auto, it seems the better it gets. I think I saaid it before some where but the Stagea is a VERY responsive Auto. I think better than any other auto i've peddaled.

You touch a Stagea in the right place and she EXCITES. She has a wisdom beyond her years!

I read a great quote on the forum... GOD created turbo lag to give V8's a chance.(and all those other little shit boxes that try to pass themselves off as real cars) STEALTH IS WEALTH. :P:(

Burns, there are some things you just shouldnt own up too...

I know this is your bike, 'cause you kids wouldnt be seen dead on it.

It really is my bike, I don’t have kids. I have a KTM200EXC as well but don’t think I have any pics.

The back up car was having brown outs today. With the head lights, rear demister, fan and wipers going the radio would drop off if the revs dropped or I used the brakes and the blinkers and brake lights wouldn’t work at the same time.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
