Sorry to spam with another thread but I need a quick answer. I've done a search on the forums and found this post in the parts thread:

May be supplied but here i go shift solenoids for an s2 . There are 2 shift solenoids this is the problem . Please do yourself a favor do the self diagnosis on your car . But the part numbers for shift soleniod A & B are . A = 31940-4ax02 . B = 31940-4ax05 . Be sure which one you need A=$350 incl trade B=$415 incl trade . So ther goes my ruddy check .

Can anyone verify that these are correct? About to order one.

Cheers.

Getting all 4 solenoids replaced as an effort to make sure this is the last thing I'll ever need to fix. Solenoid A and B were screwed in the end. Now deciding whether or not to take this oppurtunity to sell it while it's running fine, or hope this is the last thing to go wrong after a string of problems.

Sorry to be so late on this . I posted the part numbers for these . The A solenoid is easy to replace . The B solenoid is a pain in the arse to replace . As you have to drop the hole valve body . And if you do try this be carefull springs and shit jump out . Mine slips into second under power . As for part numbers they are correct . Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 . Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 .

Please let me know what it costs you. My car started "flaring" so i was thinking about getting it beefed up when 3rd and 4th disappeared. I started making some enquiries about getting a shift kit and otherwise replacing bits to enable it to handle 270kw and I was looking at $2500 plus with no guarantee that it would handle that power plus being thrashed on track days so i have bought an R33 GTR box and being too old and infirm to do it myself am getting it installed. I expect it will work out cheaper than doing the auto (box was $700 but will post up total incl all parts and labour when its done) but would be interested to know what yours costs.

Hi i did all the work myself but with gaskets , fluids & the solenoids all up i did not get much change out of $1000.00 . As for beefing it up i could not help you there . I run my s2 at over 14psi day in day out and i am not kind to it . My slipping prob is a gasket that came out . Not sure where it went there for my slippage prob . My advice if you do it yourself go slow and if you can prop the valve body do it . good luck with this if you want to talk about this i will pm you my mobile .

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
