Im just looking around at buying a Stagea. What are my options with models and things? Should i buy something already modified or get a stocko then modify myself. What sort of power can the driveline handle??

I know the 260rs is the GTR version would it be cheaper to replace the 2.5 with a 2.6 after purchase?

How much power are people making with there wagons??

What is the weight difference over a R33 gtst??

Any info would be appreciated

Cheers,

Rob

Replacing the RB25DET with an RB26DETT isn't as simple as replacing the engine, you need to go deeper, replacing suspension, driveline and electrics. If you want the GTR power, get the Autech version, otherwise stick to the standard RB25DET version.

We went down the Rb25 to Rb26 route, and I could have bought a 260RS for the cost of the conversion. To be fair, we had ours modified at the same time, but in hindsight it would have been enourmously cheaper to have bout a 260RS in the first place.... I'm still trying to source a manual guage cluster and centre console.....

Cheers for your info.

Also, how hard and at what cost to change to a R34GTR front end? Will this fit on any model stagea?

I will have a look for this modified one

What diff ratio do they have??

to quote the old phrase search and ye shal find all the info you seek on here its all been done before my friend there is a thread on rhe r34 front to stagea started by darrin spencer and im sure if you pm him he will give you the low down on cost etc mind you id go the autech series 2 with the r34 front mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yummo

RS4S is a series 2 stagea.

so more or less late 98 onwards.

J-Spec, Prestige etc are worth talking to.

EGA4IT spent forever trying to sell his one locally (finally did), they appear from time to time at auction in japan.

the R34 PowerFC will run these with very little modification.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
