Hey guys, after years of drift cars and fast cars mainly all RB powered its time to give up the ghost and stop before i wind up without a license for life. So i wanted something i could relax, cruise, family orientated(when i decide to) but without losing the power and handling of my old silvias/skylines. So i got myself a NIZMO plated STAGEA!

So questions i have that need answering!

Intercooler - i have a HKS 100mm GTR core lying around and i want to use it in the stagea. obviously since the end tanks on a GTR cooler wrap around piping will be slightly different. I would like to utilise a piping kit possibly generic but what fits???

Suspension - The car is evidently plated a factory NIZMO STAGEA so it has the nismo suspension components BUT it has a ride height that makes me cringe (Coming from drift cars 45mm off the ground) i want it to sit just on legal height but look the goods aswell.. Adjustable coilovers would be ultimate.. but i cant seem to find a listing for a WGNC34.. if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be tops.. or if another model is rumoured to fit (r33?)

Automatic/4wd - Im not a big fan of a automagic. What is involved in swapping it to a RWD 5SPD set up? parts list? mods required other than the obvious.

Hope you guys can help me!!!

Eddie.

Look through the DIY and suspension and brakes threads above. A set of lowering springs for about $300 or $3k + for decent coilovers (cheap ones would be a backward step). Have a good look at your nismo shocks. Mine are front: Nismo 56110-RSC45ENP and rear nismo 53210-RSC 45ENP (with Tein springs) but they are actually rebadged Bilsteins so if yours are too you can just change the position of the circlip to reduce the ride height - and cut some more grooves if you want to go lower still (min legal ground clearance is 100mm in NZ) and you may not even need different springs.

Hi,

Welcome to family life!!! Shame you had to sell drift car, I convinced missus to keep mine!

1. Intercooler: R33 GTST (hole cut under bty) piping should be a close fit! I used Greddy R33 GTST kit and perfect fit on my S2 stagea.

2. Suspension: R33 GTST on auto stagea, R33 GTR on factory manual, top mount on rear is slightly different.

(may have lowered precedio wagon springs available soon to suit struts - DMS coil over upgrade on way!)

3. Manual: R32-33 gtr box(push or pull clutch!), R33 manual pedal set, R33 handbrake setup, search high and low for console!

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      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..

      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.
