hehee... shure hope so....... um the reason for the upgrade was this one was goin quite cheap, hope for not the wrong reasons and she seems to have most of my options but in an s2 so triptronic and all the other bits. it sad but good there gettin cheaper. sucks cos i wont be gettin f all for my s1 but good cos the new one is only gona cost a bit more than my s 1 did 1.5 years ago. wat do you reckon a s1 in good condition is worth fully optioned with minor mod. might have to sell it back to the yard from whence she came but i got 6 weeks to try and sell her as my newbie is still in japan

neo and triptronic was the main reason. was just about to pour a few more grand into my s1 and one of them was to lower her and the s2 looks way low, the other was to get my nismo kit fitted and painted so i figgure the money i save can justify the upgrade..... my gf aint to happy though but she seems to nice to say no

you've done well - it looks damn nice!! :laugh:

good luck with the sale, and with the new car :)

Does it feel any different to drive? It looks like it has modified (lowered) suspension so I guess you cant really do a fair s1 to s2 comparison. :)

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
