Hey all

on ebay I bidded on and won a S2 Stagea steering wheel and series-2 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 the 1997 RB25det Stagea auto, series 1. 240kw beast.

Ive got access to Mike from MV Automatics at Blackwood SA, just up the road for me; with him being the auto wizard for RB's Id think it would 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................... already using his valve body set, and I know he's got other options up his sleeve.

when I 1st bought my S1 Stagea I really wanted the S2 for the larger op6 turbo and triptronic auto shifts, but 18k compared to 26k just wasnt in my budget.

now, for $40, auto service from Mike with him doing 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.

whats the go here

?

:D

You could always buy my tiptronic box Brendan :) Tiptronic ... already has shift kit, fully service ... and about to have new solenoids installed.

I've got plans for a GTR box to go in my Stag. ;)

    • I put another 2 layers of putty and still getting pinholes. Think i might either try the filler first then putty or just leave the little specs of guidecoat as is and get primer to fill it in. I think i misread understood what you said above when you said my glazing putty wasnt enough for the size of the area. I thought you meant 1 coat and i needed to. But i think what you meant was that I needed filler first? I also went a bit too far out the repair area as my spreader is a bit large.
    • You do sorta. In my instance they were little specs and I didn't even think they'd be pin holes but it all makes sense now. Huge learnings there!
    • Ah ok that makes sense and it's where i think i went wrong because before when i put filler then putty, i didn't have this issue and now i do because i only put 1 coat of putty. Thanks for that heaps man, it's a good way to put it! With my putty I'm using the dolphin glaze which i just saw it says finishing putty lol. I didnt put filler cause it was a shallow area but i see what you're saying. Also I'm an idiot, i just realised that while i put new putty there are pinholes! I probably saw it before and ignored it for whatever reason. I think because i thought putty is used to fill pin holes that itself wont make pinholes but that's incorrect of course. I feel silly now haha. ok I think I know what to do next. Thanks man!
    • Yes correct, the guide coat is showing low spots, in this instance the low spots are pin holes. I agree wetting the areas makes it more visible (but you can see it's there before you wet it as well lol).  Once the panel is flat, the guide coat will be gone  
    • I wouldn't do it outside, the contamination landing in the paint, the wind and a million other things will drive you crazy.     That's a way too big of an area to use your single stage putty on.  Pretend it's all filler and those pin holes appeared, you'd then use the putty on those pin holes.  They are still pin holes, hmm I expect a few coats of high fill primer could deal with those.
