hi guys not sure if this is the right place to post tech issues on stageas and if it isnt could you please direct me but the problem i have is my poor stag (97' S1 AUTO) and started "lurching" when i get into 5th gear usually on the freeway but when i give it a little more gas and it drops down a gear it runs fine again. its almost like a rocking movement as if the gears arent quite biting properly, and slowing do to come up to intersections or round-abouts she'll sometimes stall/turn off... also when i do a full steer lock and reverse, i get a kind of faint knocking sound from the rear somewhere and its a lot louder if the snow / 4WD button is on...does this sound like my tranny is about to give up the ghost?-any advice would be a big help ay-cheers!

Hey All, :)

Had my 2000 S2 RS4 for about 2 months now, freaking love it! :D

Random question here: out of the two options MV automatics shift kit, or just plugging the box... What are the pro's / cons from each option?

Also, is the Auto adaptive? Been making the most out of 1st quite a lot lately and now it holds first for a few weeks on about 20% throttle, which gets a bit annoying when trying to be sensible :( Any suggestions would be appreciated, Will take a look this weekend and see if I can find anything.

Also: I am chasing an exhaust/turbo/other parts, so if anyone here has stuff for sale that I might find useful and they want to get rid of them :) Let me know.

cheers,

Brendan.

Never mind, going to build a 26 up whilst keeping it pretty stock, may as well do a worthwhile mod :)

SAD NEWS!! I found out Today that Steve Hobby has died. For those that knew him this is very sad news. He was a very likeable guy. He owned an Autech 260. His skyline name was Oteku260. This run on the 13th will be to his memory. I have no other details of his passing as yet. He died on or close to 5th April 2012. Our thoughts are with his family.

hi guys,

i did not really notice that the 13th of may will be mothers day.

due to this i will be moving the date of the cruise.

i think there will be conflict of interest on this day. so less people will show.

extending it for another week means that we have enough time to prepare and vacant our weekend for this cruise in memory of Steve Hobby (oteku260).

if this has been a bit of an inconvenience to you, i sincerely apologize.

i hope we can all make it on this as im really keen to put faces into names and meet more stagea owners as im new to the scene.

so here it is..

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
