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 ).

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 was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
