Guys

I've just put a deposit on a 2000 model DAYZ RS4S (ie manual) in black. Currently its only got a catback, but i have a bunch of stuff to go on it.

I'm moving from an S1 C34 auto (RWD), and I feel this is a decent minor upgrade

Seems I cant find heaps of info on this model though. I'm wondering about stuff like clutch upgrade, and whether these can be nistuned like all other Neo's. How much power can the stock clutch and gearbox take? (I have parts floating around for about 270-280rwkw). Do they have LSD in the rear?

How many of you guys have RS4S'? What do you think of them?

Thanks in advance for your replies

SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND. But im nice so here ya go.

Clutch upgrade is the same as skyline. Recommended first mod the stock clutch has zero clamp force and won't even hold the stock power.

R34 engine = type 4 nistune.

People are making 300+ with stock gearbox

Front and rear LSD.

There is lots of rs4s owners on here.

hmmm, my clutch is holding out 220kw, no slipping, unless i dump the clutch at 5.5krpm and above in 4wd mode, then i get a slight slip.

clutch is 30k km old.

but they are def a fun car to own. just make sure you do some decent stability mods, they handle pretty bad.

Ok so i just took delivery of it. Drives great except that it crunches into 4th gear, so i'll need to get that looked at

Regarding suspension, I've already got the following ready to install

Tein coilovers

Cusco Castor Rods

Whiteline swaybars

Adjustable front upper arms

Cusco Adjustable rear upper arms.

Alloy subframe lock kit

Is it worth getting a hicas lock kit? I'm not a big fan of letting the electronics decide what direction I should be going so i'm tempted to do that

This thing is a bit slow compared to our other stageas. I'm sure the 3076 i'll be installing on it shortly should resolve that issue though :)

Are Dayz S2 RS4S in black a common thing? I dont recall having seen one before

Also WHY NO CUPHOLDERS!??!! There must be a reason they decided to install a blanking plate on the RS4S' rather than the cup holders under the stereo.

There are two small cup holder recesses in the centre console.

I would be interested to see how you how you with a GT3076. The manual stagea is a big lump to get off the line and I think it might be a bit docile down low but will haul once a few revs are onboard.

The stock clutch will hold reasonable power. Mine was FUBAR'ed on arriving from Japan and wouldn't hold decent power on the dyno. I went through two cushioned button clutches. The first had issues from the date of install and was replaced soon after. The 2nd one was a pain in the arse to use on inclined roads in traffic due to the weight of the stagea, it bogs down so easily with a button clutch or you need to launch it.

The current NPC clutch is so much better for the street. NPC higher clamp organic clutch is a gem.

The reason for no cup holders is you wouldn't be able to pull them out when your in 1st, 3rd or 5th

Pfft, they're fine where they are. Mine's a converted car (s1 with R32 GT-R box), and I can still use the cup holders under the stereo while driving.

Im curious as to why you would want cup holders anyway, that's what legs are for. After driving classic toyotas for the last 8 years I haven't even considered cup holders to actually hold a drink of any kind, my cup holders in the stagea hold the bolts that don't fit anywhere/fall off and my garage door button.

Not a bad example of a stagea.

Ok i'm going to stick some cupholders back in. Worst case is I'll bump the cups when changing gears.

LOL at using legs to hold the cups. You obviously aren't driving hard enough! :)

Hopefully my new stagea will have some significant changes over the next few weeks

hey mate if you got all this gear to go in your rs4s i hope the coilovers etc didnt come out of an rs4v cos they wont fit.

coilovers is the best thing i did to mine for better 'drivability' aka doesnt feel like your cornering in the titanic

rear is an active LSD, my rear wheels skip like a locked diff when turning close to full-lock

i actually like hicas and dont understand why people hate it so much

because old hicas tends to play up and get really buggy/worn/does random stuff

new hicas is good unless your on a track and know the exact conditions etc

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
