heere is the link to their homepage and the S2 is number 308 on their stock list but if you just search for stagea it is the 3rd on of 4 that come up.

looks rather noice but its bloody dear though.

was after ur FMIC ...thats till i saw the pic of ur car...all i can say is god must luv u to survive a wreck like that.

anyway...my shopping list.

1. Cat Converter - if its a highflow 3 inch unit and not damaged in the accident

2. all silicone hose connections for the FMIC - if not broken.

Cheers buddy

we have got slightly off topic :-) Anyway -

Series 2 260RS's so exist, but only like 250 or so were made I think. Not much demand I guess...
Nope - I'm reasonably sure - I checked this up before getting my RS4S - no 260RS's were made with R34 GTR parts, so there is no such thing as a series 2 RS260.

In fact, looking at the photos, I'm a bit suspicious about this whole car...

but mechanically, it appears to be identical to the s1 260??
I suspect it is..
ODO'S SEEM TOO LOW. ABIT SUS
As per many other posts, I think most dealers out there are setting them to silly numbers - do they really think we are going to believe that a car has done 29K in 7 years? ie 4K a year? Not likely.

I was looking at carsales.com.au the other day, and you could tell many the dealers from the k's on the cars - each lot obvousily had a number that they set every car to +/- 5k...

Sorry to stay off topic, (maybe we need a new one) but,

According to Autech's webpage they never made (took in) Stagea's other than in the list below.

So that rules S2's out, (or any year other than '97 &'98).

See below.

I think we can still call it a "series 2 Autech" but AFAIK it was only a cosmetic re-working, and the R33 GT-R running gear remained, but with the s2 modifications to the headlights, taillights, etc.

Series 1:

yeah no worries, its urs bud. it has to go via a courier company cos its too long for post... Let me know what else u want, wont cost much more to add them in the package i assume.

Cy - never had them.

And darrin do you mean the removable mat...? cos my carpet is pretty well glued to my spare tyre cover panel... theres no removable carpet as such... 3intheback has a removable thingy to keep his boot clean if thats what u mean. i didnt get one.

Are you in brissie, darrin? id love to have a look at your front end conversion some time..

Yes I am on the southside of Brisbane if you want to have a look

I will need the cover that is glued to the carpet aswell then

My left hand side and spare wheel cover has had something spilled on it and eaten the carpet.

Hopefully the series 1 carpet colour is the same as a series 2?

i know its a S1 but are the tail lights S2? if so i want em as i have a cracked lens in the drivers side unit on mine.

also did you have upgraded coil packs (splitfire) or similar?? on your engine, if so i'd like dibs on them please, if they are rescuable of course that is?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
