tooleyrs4 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hello Guys, Thought i would drop by and say hello as there is alot of good info on this site I will be using this as my daily / tow vehicle for my S15. Car was stock when it came over from japan. So far i have fitted my ebc and a fmic now running at 0.8 bar. Got r33 front and rear calipers to fit. LPG conversion. I put my Advans from my s15 on the stag. Going to swap for my spare 350z alloys though as I dont think it suits. Now just need some masa wings so I can crack on with the r 34 conversion. The intercooler was an easy fit to be honest just needed to cut away some of the bumper beam. The pipe work used the original wing mount openings.

ChrisB Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 What LPG conversion with a Turbo? Hows it running? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401917-my-series-2-stagea-from-the-uk/#findComment-6387252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooleyrs4 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Quite a few have done it over here. Mines due to be one in a few weeks. Turbocharged engines take well to it as long as the temperature is kept intact. Ie upgraded spark plugs etc and a good remap.

KiwiRS4T Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Pretty sure there are a couple of LPG powered RS4Ts in Aus. here's one: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/226938-lpg-stagea-rs4-series-2/page__hl__lpg%20stagea I think your car will look better with the 350Z rims - haven't seen a three spoked rim that I like ever! Have seen a few Stageas with 350z rims - they go well.

tooleyrs4 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 New wheels fitted the Advans are back on my s15. I'm going to have to lower it now arnt I ?? Some inspiration for me ! After my s15's roll cage is in I need a masa r34 conversion Im also having some Fuel cut issue's I have done some searching on here and i think i need to unplug another sensor. I have an EBC fitted and every time the car boosts to my set level of 0.75 bar it drops off then fuel cuts Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401917-my-series-2-stagea-from-the-uk/#findComment-6469625 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiRS4T Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 You are going to have to introduce some tunability. nistune is the simplest and cheapest . Unplugging sensors is not the way to go!

tooleyrs4 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Started the R32 GTR brake conversion on the stagea the weeked. Calipers arrived before bank holiday so I made a start. Started the R32 GTR brake conversion on the stagea the weeked. FYI BnQ stock the 14mm od tube £3.94 for 2m worth. I tried every metal place then called to BnQ on a whim and result. I also bought longer M12 Bolts. After you remove the caliper on the S2 you will find this issue. So use the 14mm OD tube and the longer M12 bolts to fit the calipers. Cut the pipe and slot the insert into the S2 knuckle. I will update with the finished pics tonight. I have not started on the single pot rear's yet. I will take off the stock S2 rear caliper tonight and see what needs to be done. Lets hope it bolts straight on......

tooleyrs4 Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Didn't have to trim the front shield but did on the rears. Looks like when I get the big brake upgrade for the front I will need to trim them. R32 Gtr brakes fitted front and rear! Finally !!! Will give the car a clean tomorrow and take some pics with the wheels on Pics with wheels on! Just need to get the big front brake disc conversion and paint the Nissan part I the caliper Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401917-my-series-2-stagea-from-the-uk/#findComment-6567699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoomzoom Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I reckon a trans cooler is a good idea in general, especially for towing. The stagea seems to lock the torque converter under narrow cruising conditions only.

jet_r31 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 S.2's stageas lock the converter whenever it is in drive..put it in tiptronic and they unlock cheers darren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401917-my-series-2-stagea-from-the-uk/#findComment-6569854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiRS4T Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The S2 has a pretty adequate trans cooler - its a good upgrade for the S1 (which has a pathetic one ) or you can buy aftermarket.

tooleyrs4 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Fitted some bc coilovers today! Not a lot of adjustment in the front shocks. They won't go any lower. Will need to raise the back a bit to level it out. Anybody else fitted these? As for the ride they are brilliant Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/401917-my-series-2-stagea-from-the-uk/#findComment-7417411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
