Hi alll im new here.

 

I've been seaching here for days and can't find what I'm looking for so I hope someone has some knowledge they can share. 

 

In looking to +t my na neo 34 sedan.

I've purchased the complete turbo setup off a late 98 (series 2) rwd automatic stagea.  So i have the hot and cold side, ecu,engine harness and the auto transmission. I realy want to keep the car a nice cruiser that's why I want to keep it auto.

 

I'm hoping someone here can confirm I can use all this in my 34. Or point me in the right direction if I need to modify the engine harness to plug into the 34 body harness.

 

Any help would be great. Thanks guys.

Does the stagea have the gearbox control in ecu or separate controller?

A mate did this conversion and went a r34gtt ecu with Nistune and added a few resistors and diodes to ecu loom to give ecu a few fake signals and gearbox uses factory controller.

Old R34 +T thread



That setup has worked well but is all being removed for  a Link plugin and 8hp50 conversion soon

So the stagea was a series 2 neo det with tiptronic auto. (I have the transmission aswell) and has integrated tcu in the ecu. I'm hoping to use the entire stagea ecu, engine and auto harness. 

If the original NA ECU has a separate TCU then you are going to need to reroute wires that used to run between the trans and the TCU to the appropriate (1 to 1 equivalent) pins on the ECU. Other than that, it should work.

Look up posts by @Kinkstaah on the subject.

@GTSBoy totally unrelated but I am unable to message you privately. Do yoy know if the r33 turbobox and r33 na box have the same tailshaft yoke? Can I use a 34 na shaft in a 33 turbo box?

You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come.

They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.

Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue. 

Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?

 

Cheers guys

Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
