I'm looking at buying a stagea... this week and paper work could be sorted friday.

i was just wondering how hard it is to get parts and are they usually more expensive?

it's a 98 rs4.

with engine parts could these just come from an australian skyline of the same engine type?

and in regards to panels will they be purely imported unless we're lucky enough to find a wrecked one?

cheers, Mick

you have pretty much hit the nail on the head. there are more parts for the serries one than the 2. more and more parts and cars are now becoming more plentiful. most parts can be bought direct through nissan (exported from japan)

there is no australian delivered skyline (other than the r31) but repco and other aftermarket parts stores have the r33 listed (they may as well been australian delived they are like dogs balls)

The stagea is a cross breed between the 33 and the 34 mechanically and unique in most body parts.

so do you recon meachanically it shall be fairly easy and bodywise there'd be more of a wait yeh?

Exactly right. That said, if all else fails, parts can be purchased directly from Nissan (but they are crazy expensive). 9 times out of 10, you'll be able to find almost any body part quite quickly with the exception of rust-free front doors (I had 1 door skin replaced, and the other repaired - they all rust just below the side mirrors)... They're now poplular enough that they're getting a lot less rare at the wreckers...

thanks all. thats good to hear, although i am in w.a ....

That actually works in your favour. There are a few yards in Perth that already have non complied S1 & S2's bought in for parts, as they are a popular (read cheap) way of getting second hand RB25DET's.

I have just been trying to source a new windscreen and it has been a fair pain in the arse i gota say, i haven't tried lookign at wreckers etc for a second hand one though so if that would do you then i guess it would be easier but me on the otherhand wanted new. Mainly because my insurance (shannons) is covering it as it is part of the policy. Has taken me almost 2 weeks of calling all different nissan places and windscreen mobs before acutally getting someone to check stock in Japan. It is now bing shipped and the cost of the part alone is over $900, so as you can imagin im reasonably happy im not the one paying. My windscreen is cracked but not undrivable thankfully glad i didn't need it in a hurry. Also something that i found interesting was that guy at nissan told me there were 4 different varieties of windscreen available for a stagea and that he needed the specific model number etc before it could be ordered... don't see how there would be a difference between them though?

Anyway just my 2c :D cheers

The windscreens themselves don't differ, however different levles of kit had different glass treatments/upper screen tints etc.

I find it kinda surprising you can't get one tho, I know a few people on here have had theirs repelaced by windscreens o'brian with no dramas

Welcome to the Stagea section, as people say there are many sources, hope you never need body panels but if you do <www.importmonster.com.au> seems to be a good starting point, browse "wgnc34" & see what comes up.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
