are R33 rear camber arms the same as the stagea?? just put my rims on and ive got inner rim rubbing on the coil overs so i neen some adjustable camber arms

i hope so ive just ordered a set

I'm using cheap no brand ones on the back.

(These ones: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-241703763.htm )

people who sell Cusco will tell you that the cheap ones will break, welding is no good etc but there are plenty of cheap ones being tracked and not breaking. i guess you should have a good look at them when they arrive and decide whether they look sturdy enough. I was lucky to get second hand cusco castor arms for the front for $150.00 (like this ...although i don't know if R32GTR will fit Stagea??

just ordered a set of the $125 ebay specials, hopfully they are ok, my cars sitting at the tyre joint at the moment getting the rear guards rolled, they couldnt get enough camber adjustment from the stock bolt so gotta get the adjustables, he said the the cheapo ones can seize up somtimes, he had a set there at the moment that were soaking.. any other guys have issues like this??

what ones did you order?? are the cheap $100 ones ok?? i just cant justify spending $280 on second hand cusco ones when they look the same..

yeah i just got some cheap ones, when you look at the photos of the different brands they all appear almost exactly the same.

has anyone fitted front camber arms? my front camber is -1.5mm, is this too much as far as uneven tyre wear is concerned?

Your front camber is not that far off. Cusco arms can seize up too. I put mine in the vise and unwound them completely and cleaned up the threads.

Yer i had my Cusco rear toe arms sieze on my s13 just put them in a vice and unwound them n cleaned them as you said also helps if you put some "antisieze" on the threads helps to stop them binding up from a build up of shit in the threads...

On another note has anyone tried to fit R34 Gtt coilovers to a 99 s2 RS4 before (i know the argument is that normal shock valving is weak but u would assume aftermarket coilovers wouldnt be to bad)... found out a friend has a set he is selling n was thinking of seeing how far out the fitment is for the stag's cause i was thinking of getting them for the missus...

apparently my cusco coilovers came off an R34... i only put them on 2 weeks ago though, seem to be ok so far..

does anyone have a part number for rear wheel pasanager bearings ? Allso im a little pissed off with bilstein at the moment, leaking shock after only 9 months, but its being covered under warranty so its not too bad.

Auto RS4 has eyelet bottom on rear shock

R34 GTT and Manual stagea RS4 S has fork bottom on rear shocks

R33 or S14 rears will fit an RS4 rear

Hey man

yours auto or manual/rs4 or 260rs ?

you fit them yourself i take it, they fit up/bolt holes n stuff all lined straight up ?

got any pics of the coilovers ?

were the rears an eyelet or were they the fork style on the rear ?

Auto RS4 has eyelet bottom on rear shock

R34 GTT and Manual stagea RS4 S has fork bottom on rear shocks

R33 or S14 rears will fit an RS4 rear

Cheers dude thats clearer now i see it written down ive read so much in this thread since we got the car 2 weeks ago i dunno whats what now :) will see what happens if i can get them cheap might just try em out can always sell them on if it dont work out haha :D...

well mine ere eyelets, so im assuming they didnt come of a R4 then, thats what the dude told me, dont know too much about the 34's. mine is a s2 RSfour,

Just replaced my coilovers in my s2 rs, with reco'd teins. I think they're superwagons from what I can tell, the code is dmn-81.... the closest match on the websiste are jap spec superwagons which ar dsn-78... not sure if I'm reading it correctly. Can anyone confirm?

Turns out I did have NISMO coilovers in there! Pitty they were shot, I think i'll hang on to them and wait and see how the teins go. Anyone know what sort of quality the nismo one's are? They must be half decent.

Was a super easy job,

front-three bolts at the top and two at the bottom. undid the lines and swap. May be slightly different in an AWD?

back- two bolts at the top, and one at the bottom. Just used a scissor jack to line the bottom eyelet (correct term?) up under load.

too easy!

Just put it in for a wheel alignment, but the ride didn't seem jarring (which is what others on here have warned with teins). I could definately feel the road more, but the ride was fairly smooth.

Sory for the pic overload, I know they're not the greatest shots. But I think this might have helped me when I was trying to see how if I could do it myself.

Cheers,

Dave-

i know this might seem a bit strange but what are the colour of the factory springs on series 1 rs4? i ask this as when i was under the car the other day the rears were green and the front were black.

Whoa, now I see them in both posts... I must be going mad :thumbsup:

thanks Dave for the how-to. The jack under the rear shock is clever... no spring compressor (hate those things)... but is where you've got the stands supposed to bear the full weight of the car? Guess it's ok?

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
