Being that both the autech version stageas and 5spd sttageas run the same din clip with three guages, i was wondering if they use the same clips and harnesses for the instrument cluster (speedo and tach)

i was wondering if these are interchangeable?

Say i have a S2 5spd. can i fit an autech instrument cluster? will the tacho reading be accurate due to different redline? will it affect the limiter (noob question that one)?

What are the visual differences between the autech and 5spd instruments?

Thanks

Ok so it wont cause any issues. As long as it is a series two cluster being that it is a series two wagon. Thanks guys!

Darrin i'll do a search and look for your thread but if you happen to have a link i would be grateful!

THanks

excellent thanks. i saw the four pictures you had pposted. So obviously being that its an S2, id need an S2 autech cluster (not that id want to run an S1 cluster in an S2 anyway).

I see the S1 autech speedo run up to 180kph. Is this the same with S2 Autech cluster?

Just quickly, on this subject, How much would you pay for a S2 260RS cluster with less than say 75,000km?

No more than a standard series 2 cluster

I sold one for $150, 18 months ago

The autech may have a higher reading on the tacho, which would be pretty useless on a stockish rb25

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      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

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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
