Hi all,

I tried to go to the introduce yourself section of this forum but it comes up with an error msg. So seeing I joined to talk about & find out about Stagea's, I thought I would introduce myself here.

I once owned a 93 Skyline R33 sedan and loved it but it had some issues (bought it from a dodgy import dealer) so I got rid of it, then after the next non grey import and too much attention from the fuzz I got into four wheel driving to slow me down etc. So after a long time my love for fast cars has come back & now I'm a dad I needed something practical like the 4x4 but something to still enjoy and admire. Enter the Stagea....I just bought a low km series one auto Stagea RS4 AWD with Hicas :unsure: (Already looking at Hicas lock out bar)

So I have a few questions that I couldn't find exact answers too:

1. My Keyless entry doesn't work?, (I replaced the battery as I'm the first owner of this car in Australia)

2. Where can I get a workshop manual in English? (PDF format is fine)

3. Do these cars have a factory immobiliser?

4. Do Stagea's use OBDII diagnostics as I have a Scan Gauge II from my previous vehicle?

5. Where is the plug for the above?

Thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated.

Welcome, you will find answers to most of ur questions if u use the search function, just have to do a bit of reading. Just saying this cause ppl usually get flamed for asking question that hsve been answered a million times before, the answer to ur keyless entry should be in the stagea diy section

Welcome, Nice stagea, The Stagea's always look the best with the dayz front bumper.

I like this body kit, the side skirts are a bit damaged though by the previous owner from Japan.

Hi

should be able to find workshop manual on ebay, no factory immobiliser.

I wouldnt put a hicas lockout bar on unless you get an aftermarket ecu as it will cause the stock ecu to think that your hicas is failing and may cause more ecu issues than its worth.. Thats the advice my mechanic gave me and he should know as he had a Stagea and did so with his...

Thanks, I'll check out Ebay for the manual & thanks for the info on the lock out bar, but I already bought one.... Now I'll have to sort the ECU out, it never ends with modifying does it :rolleyes:

Just ordered the manual from ebay, thanks bjd. Where should I get a immobilizer fitted in the SE Brisbane area? I want to search the DIY section, but each time I get an error or it kicks me out back to the main forum page.... Moderators help needed!!!

A lot of info seems to have got lost/become inaccessible since the last revamp of the Website.

So far as I know the workshop manual has not yet been translated. There is an owner's handbook available. You can find R33 manuals online which take care of most of the mechanicals.

Does your central locking work? There is a tutorial on how to tune your key to the car but maybe the receiver is faulty.

The ecu is accessible via Nissan Consult not OBD - there are a number of aftermarket devices such as ecu talk

http://www.ecutalk.com/

that give you access mainly on a read only basis. The plug is behind the coin holder to the left of the fusebox.

HiCas delete should be the same as for the R33 so have a look in the skyline section (hopefully that is not broken too) and there are tutorials on getting rid of the hicas.

Thanks Kiwi,

I ordered a CD service manual off eBay today...

It's a shame all that info isn't accessible as its one of the reasons I joined this forum. Is it going to be fixed?? The Hicas lock out bar details have been explained to me. I will try searching the Skyline section for the other issues... Thanks again!

make sure you check the threads for the latest qld Stagea meet: confirmed for Sunday 24th June: would be good to have you along...

Thanks for the invite - I'll try and make it, but the day before the Stag is in the workshop getting coilovers, tie rods & Hicas lock out bar fitted. So hopefully it all goes to plan!?! Edited by Troppo

I'm in Brissy & have Nistune consult cable & software, I can come round & give you a hand if you like?

Thanks RB Bluey, if I can't get the central locking working I might take you up on that offer...

consult won't help with the central locking

it has probably had an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser installed at some point and they may have cut something

i'd be getting an adr compliant immobilizer fitted anyway as justcar won't insure you without one and most places give you a discount if you have one fitted

technically not correct, they will still insure you and take your money, but if it's not installed and you try to make a theft claim they will turn around and say no because it's one of our conditions that it is fitted. i really should get round to installing one in mine someday. :unsure:

      Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 🐕, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 🫡, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 🤣) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy

      I tried to get in contact before I went to QLD you didn’t respond, then I tried to contact you in r31 club.  I thought you fell off the earth or something haha.  I will grab it off you but unknown when I will be up that way

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think that might be in the question. He is going very low, and I think the standard GTR ones are simple tripod joints (like the rear NA/S chassis ones), not proper CVs (like R chassis turbo/GTR ones). Proper CVs take the misalignment better than tripods.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      By Duncan · Posted

      I haven't used the Crank Motorsport ones, but can I ask why not use standard gtr/gts4 axles at the front? They would easily cope with that power level. BTW.....sounds like quite the project!
