Hi guys I am planning to make my Auto S2 Stagea mody to power between 230rwkw to 250rwkw, and I know what parts to get and I already start doing this now but until some of my friends who own WRX and 180sx they said my car will need to change the drive line or gearbox thing otherwise my car won't make pass 165rwkw. They said my 4wd system is same as wxr not strong , is this trust?? If I want to mody my S2 to 230rwkw then I will have to change the all the drive line , like gearbox or diff??

4WD will be fine, it's basically the same as the GTR 4WD system which can handle alot more than 250awkw. The auto box will handle it, I'm running around that power with a stock auto, my only issue is flaring in gearchanges under full load. I'm in the process of getting a shift kit to sort that out.

no, the AWD system is actually based on the GT4 which was NA - the only GTR based systems were in the Autech. Its kinda interesting really, the stagea was the ONLY RB25DET powered AWD system Nissan ever made...

Yes the gearbox will handle it, as will the diffs, transfer case etc, but to make sure I would recommend a thermo controlled trans oil cooler and a shift kit as a sensible precaution

While looking for a shift kit for my re5, I was told the re4 was good for over 1000 hp once built.

+1 A shift kit will help stop the wearing clutch slip that occurs when powering up the engine.

Yes, and the re4 is a much stronger box. M35 uses the electronic throttle to limit the torque so they could lighten the box a bit.

So mine S2 stagea autobox can hold 1000hp? then should be enought to handle 250rwkw as well.

You will definately need a higher rated torque converter at that power. Mine sucked ass with the stock converter...

When mine was stock, my 60ft was 1.9. With the 30R+other mods and stock converter, it was 2.2.

Haven't run it yet with the higher stall, but feels ALOT better with it!

Only once built. I guess any more than around 200kw you would need the shift kit fitted at a minimum.

Pretty sure that MV Automatics have shift kits for your car

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
