Hi to the guys and gals of SAU, I've gone and got myself an RS Four S Stagea for a family wagon and the info in it in the UK is next to non existant. I have no real idea why but so far the Stagea section on this forum has saved my ass at least once in looking for things. In regards to this if I find out any information or specifics I'll post in the appropriate thread and keep the knowledge going. For now though it's back out to finish pulling my dash apart and replacing blown bulbs, nothing miffs me more than not being able to see what buttons I need to press when it's dark (I know this is asking for trouble as I'm a) a pom and b) buttons in the dark eh? lol however I am leaving it as is :P )

Thats my quick intro for now and I'll be sure to spam up the forum with pictures and questions later, I'm guessing it'll probably be the morning for you guys hehehe.

Chris

Ty all and Gezza I'm from the area near Hemel Hempstead originally (the place where the fuel depot exploded) but live near Gloucester now. Think I've got some info and mods for guys with S2 stag's regarding the dash and climate control lighting but I'm waiting on parts to verify things and make sure it all works as planned. Could save some hassle for someone and may be applicable in part to the S1's too. Hopefully I'll get to post pics and get myself a thread going sometime soon but between long trips to see the folks, keeping the kids amused and my split shifts (2 days and 2 nights, 10 hours a shift) I have very little time to work on the Stagea or get online and even less time to get my Prelude back on the road as it's at my folks place still. Of course the weekly rape of my wages with tax and more tax when I buy or import things doesn't help, not sure on the exchange rates but we're on about £1.41+ per litre of super unleaded at the moment, not wallet friendly lol.

I'm off to try and route a pipe for my new boost gauge before work now and think I'll be on the heavily caffinated "energy" drinks tonight, fingers crossed the bulbs turn up tomorrow and I'll get some pics and info up asap. On that note if any of you guys have an electronic copy of the stagea workshop manual either in english or japanese I'd love a copy for reference and possibly to get translated if I can convince some friends of friends to do mates rates hehe.

Thanks again for the warm welcome and you never know I might get to travel back to Brisbane sometime, just need to win a stack of cash first :thumbsup:

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
