No problems mate. It's one of those things I want to do, just can't really justify it yet.

Plus it kind of worries me ordering parts from a bunch of numbers!

Hey Jase, yes the thought of ordering from those part numbers is abit of a worry, imagine it rocks up and its the wrong colour or something, i'd not be happy.

Yep that's exactly what I'm worried about.

I think I'll have to look into getting this FAST software myself..

Yeah, but even with Fast, you'd have to physically see the car whose VIN you're using to verify that the colour was the same... Actually, that gives me an idea: I hope there's a 260RS coming on the qld meet....

Good thinking Micah!

How many different coloured interiors are there?

I know in a series 2 the gunmetal grey plastic trims are slightly darker than a series 1

Micah,

The trim I have is out of a series 1 260rs, which would be the same as the series 1 RS4.

As far as I am aware, the parts that have been quoted for the console parts should for a series 1, as the people who have ordered them all own series 1 cars and have not complained about any colour differences.

I am the only series 2 owner that has converted on here, but luckly I picked up a s/hand series 2 console.

interesting point darrin, you got me thinking.

I have s1 converted with s2 manual parts and I spent some time starting at it today. Both the colour and pattern are very slightly different between the s1 bits and s2 bits- but you would never notice without staring and myself and no-one else have ever mentioned noticing it.

Guys don't worry about the part numbers in the thread. I was also worried (of course) so double checked them all and they were fine. I ordered directly from the list and got exactly what I needed. Also all parts are the same colour so nothing to worry about. The trim on the centre console does not match the s1 interior, not a problem for me because I retrimmed in leather.

Couldn't have put it better myself Duncan :rolleyes:

Took quite a bit or research on FAST, and a lot of triple checking to get the right numbers, and yes I was very anxious when I ordered the parts, but it all turned out sweet. And I'm glad other people have benefited.

As other people would know, there is only two interior colours available with the Stagea, the Z & J, so if your not sure, get your VIN FASTed.

I have, i got the blank plate for the cup holders and the blank plate for the auto indicators on the dash. I had problems with stock not being available, but as soon as it was, it took 3 days to get to me from Japan.

Yeah I know, I saw your car after I ordered the parts. I don't need 4 cup holders in the front though, 2 is enough for me.

4 cup holders? :P I don't need 4 either..

If I use the part numbers in this thread will I get 4 cup holders?

the manual console has the cupholders in the console. the auto stageas has them popping out from under the climate control. if you leave the pop-out ones in, and install the manual centre console, you get 4.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
