Hello everyone! Introduction and help request

Hi All, hope you are well!

Just getting back into the car scene, have been out of it for quite some time due to family commitments! Previously owned a BNR32, BCNR33 and BNR34.

After getting permission from the missus I am now back in the RB world, got myself a S2 Stagea 260RS. Fun cars, feels like a sport car until you look to the back.

Quick question for you guys, I have already bought myself some MCA coilovers with 10kg (F) and 5kg (R) as it will be my daily with a odd spirited driving (if i get the chance). Is there any other upgrades you would suggest? As mentioned, I have been so out of the car scene and feel kind of lost with all these new techs.

Also, sounds like I have a whining diff, what do you recommend? What is out there for the Stagea? What is interchangeable between the skyline and stagea? 

Thank you so much!

Hello - welcome to the Stagea world - have a read through this Stagea section - there is a wealth of knowledge to be had).

No you don't have a sports car but a heavy wagon so rear springs need to be stronger than the front. 260 RS has GTR running gear so most stuff is interchangeable between GTR and 260Rs.

Best value suspension mod is heavier (particularly rear) anti roll bars.

My suspension (for comparison) a set of Nismo branded Bilsteins with Tein springs:

Shocks

Front Nismo 56110-RSC45 ENP

Rear Nismo 53210-RSC45 ENP

Springs

Front Tein F - SIN78-010311-HCC

Rear Tein R - SIN79 - 010382 - HCC

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
