Hey all

freaky, but I bidded on, and promptly forgot about, a S2 steering wheel and automatic shifter unit.

won for $40 total.

Quick question - how "possible" would it be to setup the auto shifter to work with the series-1 auto?

Ive got access to Mike from MV Automatics at blackwood, just up the road for me; with him being the auto wizard Id think it could be possible

your thoughts?

anything special to it? or simply plug and play - ie install and use

Id think Mike @ MV Auto should be able to set it up if I cant...................

when I 1st bought my stagea I really wanted the S2 for the larger turbo and triptronic auto shifts, but 18k compared to 26k just wasnt in my budget.

now, for $40, auto service and some fiddling around to install, say $450 max(?), its affordable to do, and it'd make my powerful Rb25 that much more fun to drive.

peace :D

Reminds me of lyrics from a Beastie Boys classic song:

"Here's another one for y'all to peep,

It's called M-I-K-E on the M-I-C..."

Right around 3.30 in this clip, but it appears in another song too, just can't remember which one.

By all means see the specialist but I fear it may not be that easy. The gearbox is the same but the auto ecu may be different. With the S1 the auto ecu is inside the main ecu which is why I am having trouble getting a chipped ecu. Since the S1 ecu can't (easily) be chipped X-tune has chipped an R32 ecu but that doesn't run the auto. So he is basically piggy backing both ecus together. With the S2 this is not necessary which makes me think that the S2 auto ecu may be elsewhere. In that case you may need an S2 loom, ecu, and auto ecu but the neo injectors and cam control are different. Nothing that can't be overcome! On the bright side if you do all that you should be able to run a Vipec or Nistune!

Hopefully I am wrong and it will be very simple.

i thought the trans had slight differences, as i know the service kits and valve bodies are different

nope, S2 auto ecu is apart of the engine ecu aswell. its just easier to chip because it has a different chip type than the R33/S1 Stagea.

Please correct me if I am wrong, I was of the impression the S1 Stagea had an R33 Series 2 motor and ecu with an R34 pin pattern.
Yes you are right but although the plug is the same as the R34 the pinouts vary in a few cases and the ecu internally is not exactly the same as either the R33 or R34 Skyline.

      Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
