Hi guys ,

I picked up my series 2 99 260RS the other day and some pricks stole the centre console part around the shifter..... it must of had a gauge or something of interest or someone working at the brisbane docks has a stagea and prefered mine to theres.

Does anyone know if there was anthying of interest there because there was a lot of wires ect going nowhere.

Thanks in advance.

mmm s2 eyelids :) in the rare case they're not to your liking I'd be happy to buy them off you :)

Hopefully you'll be able to pick up a new centre console part somewhere without too much trouble. I know a couple of wreckers here in SA have had stageas in stock before (ie. half-cuts etc for parts).

Yeah I have insurance but I have to pay the first $500 so I dont think its worth it.

What I was wondering is do the series 2 260rs autech have a diffrent centre to a standard stagea.

Not to sure about the eyelids I have to paint the front bar and I will make my mind up then about the eylids.(dont think I want them)

I want the 34 gtr front just getting the pricing together now. oh and the price .... a freaking fortune thats why I had to sell my first autech.

yea and the price? who did you buy it through from? how many kms has it done ETC?!

Just under $30,000 it was my mates car who lives in chiba Japan. I imported it myself and have been doing this for over 15 years but have always bought toyotas [ Soarers Supras etc these are my first experiances with Stageas. Even though I love the cars I am a little bit concerned how most of them have a problem with some rust spots.

When I give it its first australian wash I will take a few photos.

well....the bad news is you've got buckleys of finding a second hand one, which sucks....I'm surprised they didn't take the whole console they are worth over 1k new from nissan.

the good news is it looks identical to the s2 manual part, it is posted in the manual conversion thread somewhere.....so at least nissan can supply it you don't have to go to autech

Well, I think it looks identical to an S1 surround & my guess is some amatuers ran out off time stripping out the whole lot working from bottom to top. If there are no dangling connectors laying around in the exposed wiring harness then my guess is there is no difference to S1. Maybe a cigar lighter has been placed there but that's about all. I would go for a front cut, probably even RS4 manual would go close or check out a wreck that has not been picked clean. Good luck, car looks awesome champ. Keep us posted on how you go?

Best regards GW :banana:

Edit. PS: You have a mate in Chiba Japan? Who knows the 260RS? Pleeeeease keep us posted. ;)

Edit. PPS: Your mate could tell you if he had an aftermarket device installed there? I-color display maybe that drew the unwanted attention?

Wouldn't surprise me if they were after the whole console (would sell very quickly to anyone thats just done a manual conversion :(). But yeah your going to have a hard time finding another one sec hand. Maybe look at the Yahoo auctions (even then they are rare and quickly snapped up) or get a S2 RS4S manaul one from nissan which should be the same.

P.S gotta love the maze of wiring, I don't think I've had one import yet that hasn't come with a few extra kilos of wiring.

Thanks guys

Im new to these Stageas but I have to admit I have always loved the RB26 an Im sure with a little extra boost they wont feel the extra weight to much.

The series two seems to be a little bit more refined and I am thinking of putting the 34 GTR front with the proceeds of the sale of my series one autech, so maybe there might be a series two autech bar and front up for sale real soon

cheers

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
