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!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
