Hey all

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've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
