Yep they are the same as GTR 4.111 as is the RS4 manual version from Aug 98. Most other Stageas are very slightly different at 4.083 (don't know why) with the one Stagea at 4.363 (RB25DE AWD auto)

On the highway at 110kph my car is doing 2500rpm that just seems too low for 4:1's. also when I went down the quarter mile a couple of months ago it ran a 13.2 @ 101mph crossing the line at 7500 in third gear.. Maybe the gearing has been changed by the previous jap owner!

Its possible. At 110km/hr my car with 4.1 GTR diffs and an R33 GTR gearbox (theoretically same as yours) is doing 2700 rpm. My tyres are 245 40 17. If your tyres are similar to mine you might have a pair of Tomei diffs - I hear they made a set halfway between the 4.1 and 3.545

To check your diff ratio without pulling it apart: jack the car up and put a chalk mark on the driveshaft at bottom dead centre. Drop it down and putting another chalk mark on a tyre where it touches the ground or using a valve position drive or push the car forward one full wheel rotation and then jack the car up and look for the chalk mark. If it is just past bottom dead centre you can assume the driveshaft has turned 4.1 times. If it is not visible (on top of the driveshaft) that suggests 3.545 (R34 diff) and if it is visible half way between top and bottom (before bottom dead centre) that would be the Tomei ratio (not sure what it is exactly).

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
