just wanted to get my hands on a workshop manual. they are handy to have. found some link's somewhere in the forums one lead me now where one the site had shutdown and the last one led me to a place where i could purches a copy at $5 per section. A quick sum up worked out at about $500 roughly thats way to expensive. if anyone has figured out a way of getting an english one for a reasonable price or has manged to translate there own and willing to sell it for a carton. that un less someone is made of cash and wants to buy it and share it around. any help will help us all :whistling:

Engine wise it's basically the same, but thats as far as it goes. I also found that website "www.repairmanual.co.nz" I think it was.

I actually contacted them and heres a snippet of the email.

The manual you ask for is only available in Japanese. We may be producing a full English manual in the future. We will put you on the mailing list to keep you informed. In the meantime you may like to request a section via www.repairmanual.co.nz We will then translate and email you once the material is complete. There may also be sections available for instant download already.

Entire translated manual would be good, I have the jap version, and am lucky that my girlfriend can translate for me, but that still takes time.

if ur lucky, the person that you are buying your stagea from may give you all of the bits and pieces of workshop manuals he has accumulated over the past year and a half.

I've got a BIG two ring binder thats full of pretty much all you willever need. All from the DIY etc. and especially the absolutely excellent stuff SK has put forward along with all the other guys on the forum.

Actually tomorrow is timing belt day at our place and we will be using the SK instructions to do it. And I might add that we used the same info to do a CA18 with absolutely no probs. Did not even need to check the timing. Easy as.

There is somuch interchangeability between a lot of the CA, SR and RB that it does not really matter that there is not a specific "English" manual. If you have half a brain and a phillips head screwdriver, any Stagea owner can either fix or get advice to fix pretty much all.

Incidently manuals Suk, I love autos. f**kin HAHAHA. LOLlolLOL

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
