As far as i know, yes, it will fit for you. There is one guy that is using an R33 kit.

Though, dont go ahead and cut a hole in the chassis too quickly, its easy to get a defect. Do what humble will do and use the kit/cooler etc, but get one pipe made custom to go under and then up to the cooler, like my pipes

we fitted a 600x300x76 cooler to our stagea.

used a r33 piping kit with some of the standard stagea bends.

fitted up pretty well.

had to cut out sum of the support to make the cooler fit, but overall it wasn't that hard to do.post-25826-1141479214.jpg

we had the same problem with the drivers side, passenger side was easy

yea no need to cut a hole under the battery.

it took us bout 3 hrs to figure out which bends would go where on the drivers side for the best possible fit with no cutting needed.

only thing we had to do was chop some of the standard plumbing

don't have any pics at the moment but I could get out in the next couple of days and take a few for you.

was not that hard when we sat down and thought it out and then tried and tested several ways til we got it spot on.

Have 90% finished installing my cooler today. I bought an R33 kit from just ja[ for $499 (bit of a bargain if you ask me). Still need to trim the fan then it will be complete.

I didn't bother cutting too much out of the support bar at this stage as I don't think I will really need it yet. Further down the track I will probably open it up again and chop away.

Only problem I had was the AC fan not fitting with the core there. I decided it will just be easier to buy a smaller thermo fan from the wreckers or something. AC isn't essential so I will worry about it later...

and some photos...

hey mate easiest option is to chop the front support bar abit to alow it to come forward and therefore keeping the air con fan etc in place. its not visable from outside with bumper on so cops cant defect u or nuthin, and its strong as hell and only holding the bumper.

I didn't do it that way because then the brackets won't line up. Just easier to get a smaller fan.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
