Hi All,

Well its almost been a year of owning my stag. About this time last year I was hassling Mcnamg for pictures and info of his stag, via PM. I've loved owning the Stagea so much and have made many new friends and gained alot of knowledge on working on cars. First time I ever worked on a car was on the stagea and that was changing the timing belt! and doing 100k service! If your wondering. No this isn't going its time to sell ect ect! The next year will be a bit tighter with cash though as Im going to be a Uni student and not working full time.

'97 s1 silver rsfour, leather, No Spoiler :blink:

In the year I've owned the car ive made the following mods (all i can remember):

  • SAFC2
  • Greedy Profec B spec II
  • Apeix Pod filter
  • Cold air box and Cold air feed
  • Gab Wagon adjusrtable suspension (also tried ohlins)
  • 18" racing hearts
  • Adjustable camber arms
  • Adjustable toe arms
  • 3 1/4" cat back zhorst
  • Hi-flow cat
  • S2 tail lights
  • earthing kit
  • voltage stabliliser
  • HID lights
  • Front Mount IC
  • PWR trans cooler
  • Timer built into alarm
  • Lucas premium front pads

Before I got the car glen had done:

  • Splitfire Coilpacks
  • .8mm gapped platinum plugs
  • clear front and side indicators
  • Alpine headunit and splits

Does anyone have any mods or recommend i do anything in the next few weeks while im still making good $$$. Thinking maybe a gbox service and a shift kit?

i think your pritty much spot on with a shift kit, if your retaining the auto. the only other things left are a turbo upgrade, abit more involved ecu/piggyback like an EMU, or a manual converstion.

id also look at doing the fuel pump, the one you have is +10yr old. also an ajustable cam gear may give you a gain but there are other things i'd look at first.

i've heard the walbro 500hp intank ones are good unit, apparently there were some dodgy ebay ones getting around prone to failure but if you get one from a site sponser they are ok. you can get the kit for around $195. im looking into getting a new pump soon aswell.

DUMP FRONT IS THE BEST MOD YOU CAN DO and a highflow cat

JJR stainless dump/front heat wrapped and a catco 3" cat

picked up so much response and midrange, standard dump is almost flat over the wastegate area :thumbsup:

i agree. it just helps the engine and turbo breathe so much more. you can feel staight away how much better the car goes with them.

Just got a qoute on a shift kit, looking at $450 drive in drive out.

Funny you say that. Did the dump/front on a mates and he said he noticed the catback alot more. :S

i did do my cat too...

its a different sort of change, eg, when it coasts for longer when you lift off, less throttle to maintain speed on the fwy, builds boost quicker on the fwy

i then felt a little loss of response when i did my FMIC

upping the boost when i have the motivation to install my EBC.

FWIW I paid 395 drive in/out for my shift kit

ah Im going to grab a cheap $40 adjustable one (s13) and drill the ring connectors to suit :D

fmic looks funneh, should photo it.... no camera tho, soz. sitting under the reo bar - big :) no more spotties and cut the bottom dayz lip off ooops

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
