Lo all ...

possibly thinking of getting a stagea in the comming months, need a car with more boot space and passenger space, the r33 just cant cut it ....

anyway, i cant stand autos, just somthing personal to me, so would be looking for a manual version, i know they are limited, or manual conversion ...

so, the questions is how much should i be looking to pay for a '97 (ish) rs4 v manual V a manual conversion ...

thanks for any input ...

97 Stageas (series 1) didnt come with the option of a manual transmission - straight auto only - so conversion is your only go there - check the manual conversion stickied thread for info on that.

However for a Series 2 (10/98 onwards) tiptronic Stagea your looking at mid 20 thou to 30 thou depending on years and kms and condition. A manual series 2 seems from auction prices to have about a $3-4000 premium on tiptronics - if you can find one that is.

Hi

Not trying to be picky but I am looking at exactly the same thing.... From the research I have done I thought that the Stagea RS4 'V' spec was an auto and the Stagea RS4 'S' Spec was the manual???

Brazen was nice enough to give me a ride in his stagea and I loved it.... Almost exactly what I want.... if it was manual it would have been my perfect car :)

Yep - as my post said - series 2 has a manual option, but not series 1... if dollars is a factor - then the cheapest way into a manual stag is definitely a series 1 with a manual conversion - coz you not only save the $3000 premium over the tiptronics that appears on manual series 2's, but about $5-$7000 on the difference between a series 1 and a 98 series 2 auto...

The real price difference is, for instance (car yard prices):

Series 2 RS Four S (manual) = $32,000 (or thereabouts)

Series 1 ($20,000) + conversion = $23,000

So yeah - even cheaper if you import yourself - saw on geoff risbeys emails this week a Sereis 1 Stag for $16,000 landed and complied!

But if no ultra-strict budget - then find a sereis 2 manual and go for it! I actually want tiptronic so was no drama for me - and if you've got moderate $ then i cant recommend the Neo6 series 2 enough - love mine!! :)

:P

yeah, would be taking the gtst back to stock as much as poss for the sale .... i have pretty much all teh stock parts laying around ....

still making my mind up about one at teh moment ... trying to persuade the wife to get a 4x4, which i think she has made her mind up to get one now, if she gets one, then will have no need to swap mine for a more sensible shaped car ... woohoo

just that my wife is pretty short, and i have visions of her looking like a pea in a whistle driving a huge land cruiser or similar ...

(chuckles)

thanks for the offer SK, will let you know !

      TPS voltage RB25DET

      By BASHERnissan · Posted

      Hi guys my TPS voltage is reading over 2v at idle.  My Haltech ECU is reading around 40% throttle position at idle also which is really strange. Note the actual throttle position sensor is brand new…    anyone have any experience with this or know how to calibrate it on Haltech ?

      Cas issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The OEM disk will not work on any AEM ECU, you need to use the one they made. You shouldn't have to flip the CAS or whatever you were describing, if you set the ignition sync offset correctly it can't backfire. Make sure you're using a spark plug lead on coil 1 instead of the timing loop to avoid weird issues with the timing light. Double check that your timing settings are actually correct, like is the 24 tooth configured correct or should it actually be 12 teeth for 1 crank revolution? I also found this: 305817248-AEM-Undocumented-Settings-v1-2.pdf

      Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.

      Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.

      Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).
