I know most Stag owners will regard this as a retrograde step. But at my age auto is the best for my wife and me.

I am slowly rebuilding an RWD motor for the S1 Dayz.. The drive front shafts are out. I suppose I could use the 4WD box but

wonder what to do with the box front output. Can a cover be fitted to keep the crud out?

So I am looking at fitting an RWD auto box. Is this possible? What type will slot straight in..

So I wtb an RWD auto box Would prefer Brisvegas pick up.

The motor going in is an RWD motor, so want an RWD box.

Yes I get that. But the car is 4wd right?

so you have a 4wd box which will defiintiely fit and work. It just has a hole that needs blocking.

Thats the easiest option.

Strictly it doesn't even need blocking - it has a seal and anything that does somehow get past the seal is just going into the now redundant transfer case.

And the auto box is a heavy item to lug around - save yourself the bother!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
