SK - I look forward to see how things go with your RS four. Long term my aim to have something pretty close to that as well (ultimate sleeper :D ).

What are your thoughts on the unichip over the SAFCII for the auto ? Would the ignition control of the unichip work (I know the E-mange won't work :D ).

there's already a dude in QLD who's bought the masa conversion kit, and its being copied at the same joint that my vertex kit's being copied at... ahh god bless fibreglass gel coat moulding.

Stagea Section

How's insurance things goin for Stagea? I lodged in mine for Rating 2 >30 male in VIC and it's $1100, which is $200 less than my R33 for the same agreed value. (Using an example of a $19000 landed RS Four from an importer's list)

Hi J, That's a good thought, I haven't tried a Unichip in a late model ECU, they are pretty well sealed though. If it can actually be fitted then it should retain the shift logic. The A/F and ignition maps are independant from the auto programming. So it will overide the "tuned" timing at gearchange time. :cheers:

Shannons is half NRMA at $1.2K for $20K. Who was you quote from rs73?

a stagea is a gtr in a wagon corect ? how much are stageas worth ?

Peter

Yes and No.

Yes - If you find the 260RS wagon which has RB26DETT (twin turbo GTR) engine and GTR AWD running gear

No - If you buy the normal RS Four with RB25DET (single turbo GTS-t) engine and AWD running gear - more like GTS4 turbo

Price is hard to say they range from $18k for an auto RS4 to $60k+ for a genuine 260RS

Have look on www.skylinesdownunder.co.nz there is a company in NZ that translates workshop manuals and they advertise there. I have their translations of the R32 manuals and they are great. If you can't find a Stagea engine manual, I would reckon a R34 GTT would do the job.

Hope that helps

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
