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.

pics to follow

aww man that sucks man!! did you buy any insurance at all? if you do i think you could claim them.

Out of curiousity how much you paid for it? Andth details of the car? Like how manykms has it done ETC. Let s know.

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.

My series 2 has a couple of spots but nothing under the mirrors....... go figure ?

heres a pic of my series 1 autech getting fixed then my series 2 with norust` under the mirrors series 2

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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
