Tw1ch Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I Thought i would start this to help all of us that own RWD Stageas... It would be good to keep it only RWD so it can be an information source for people that need help with part and other bits These are some things i know so far I will edit as i go to fill in the gaps and if there's new info that would be great Upgrades can be listed as well as stock part Front Brakes: -Calipers = Unknown Upgrade:GTST r33 - Rotors = Unknown Rear Brakes: -Calipers = Unknown - Rotors = Unknown Suspension: -Tension/caster rods: 300zx,R33, R34 (and many more i think) -Tie rods and ends = S14,S15 -Other rods etc: Unknown -Front Springs: Unknown -Front Shocks: Unknown -Back Springs: Unknown -Back Shocks: Unknown Gear box: -Auto: r34/s2stagea Edited August 25, 2013 by Tw1ch Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/430785-nissan-stagea-rs-s2-rwd-whats-what-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS-V AREO Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Dont quote me on this but i pretty sure most suspension parts are s14/s15, from what i have been told.

rb26stagea Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah, they are: Myles (GreenGhost) just bought and fitted a new set of HSD coilovers, and the fronts were the same as S14. Bonus for him was adjustable camber tops: My RSFour set didn't get them... FYI: he also managed to get R34 GTT front calipers to fit with a little bit of fiddling.

Tw1ch Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Bendix pads for stock system.db1696 front db1399 rear and what rear suspension (ie coils or springs )??

rb26stagea Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Rear suspension is the same on both 4wd and RWD, as far as I am aware: Told Myles to get his lazy self back on the forums and give you as much info as he has: give it time - He'll get around to it.

GreenGhost Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 r33 front brakes and rotors will fit with a wahser/spacer to line then up rear brakes r34 will fit straight up rear shocks are the same as 4wd fronts shocks are s14 gearbox is same as r34 ottomoto do coilovers for s2 rwd and are awesome Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/430785-nissan-stagea-rs-s2-rwd-whats-what-thread/#findComment-7001000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tw1ch Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 sweet thanks.. guess that means s14 low springs will fit stock setup?

rb26stagea Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I'd be careful about the spring rates: the Stagea is a bit on the hefty side...

Ben C34 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Another RS S2 owner signing in. All I can add is that an RB30 will drop straight in with no drilling of mounts using stock manifold. Cant fit the strut brace on without spacing it up, or perhaps a non traction control throttle body would give a little more clearance.

KiwiRS4T Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Unless the 2wd has an entirely different suspension to the 4wd all he will be adjusting is the angle of the shocks - not the camber. Yeah, they are: Myles (GreenGhost) just bought and fitted a new set of HSD coilovers, and the fronts were the same as S14.

It is mcpherson strut, strut towers also look different.

Ben C34 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Can also add that the whiteline rear swaybar does fit, but you need to slot out the u brackets a bit and make some spacers (about 15mm per side) to straigten up the links as the rs rear end is wider for some reason. You can get by without the spacers, but the links are on a crazy angle and I wouldn't recommend it.

Ben C34 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Another addition, as the front suspension is different, the info for s2 brake conversions doesnt apply to rs. The mounting holes are 12mm, so the same options are a direct fit as for an s1, eg r33 brakes. I wanted to use 34gtt brakes, and made new inserts for the callipers with an m12x1.25 threads rather than drilling out the knuckles as some guys have done. If anyone wants a photo or info let me know, but if you look at the callipers its pretty obvious Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/430785-nissan-stagea-rs-s2-rwd-whats-what-thread/#findComment-7090816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR_31GT Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 WHile this is an old thread by 2+ years. This is what i have found out about the rwd stagea, - They use the McPhersons strut front suspension setup of the S15 (Bottom arm, 5 stud hub, shock etc) - They have a 2 pot brake caliper and 280mm S14/S15 rotors - The rear has no hicas - Has an S15 rear subframe/arm setup (S15 hubs, S15 style subframe I Have measured this. - Uses an R33 internal drum handbrake with an S14 style single pot sliding caliper - Diff 4:1 VLSD Other stuff I found out: - 296mm R33 GTST Callipers/Rotors bolt straight up which means 33GTR Brembo's/350z Brembo's will too - R34 GTT callipers/rotors WILL NOT fit, unless you drill out the hub as the calipers use larger bolts - S14/15 adjustable rear arms etc all fit - Uses S-body/R-body suspension bushes - Tension rods are S14/15-R33/34 - Tie rods and ends are S14/S15 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/430785-nissan-stagea-rs-s2-rwd-whats-what-thread/#findComment-7678967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
