I've already posted this in the drive line forum but thought I'd ask here as well for more exposure and hopefully some info from the gurus. Hopefully others, particularly those with facory manual Stageas find it helpful/interesting as well: Done lots of research and found lots of conflicting info and most of it fairly old so thought I'd ask specifically what I'm after. I have a RS4S Stagea (factory manual, NEO engine) and am after a good ECU to enable tuning with the parts I've collected (highmount 3076, GTR cooler, FFP etc). What I need to know is does the ATTESA (I believe RS4S is the same as R33 GTR) system use information from the engine ECU or is it totally independant using G sensors and wheel speed only? An aftermarket ECU to suit a NEO may not have ATTESA outputs and a GTR ECU would have ATTESA but not VCT function (plus wanting 2 AFM inputs). Was wanting an easy plug in ECU but it's looking like it may not be that easy.... I was thinking that the ATTESA module may use a TPS signal....

Hi all Well I have been posting lots of questions and progress of my new Stagea. I plan to do a bit of work to her as I cannot help myself even with dailies so I thought I should make my own little build thread to keep my own little record, ask my stupid questions and share my new baby, so here goes. She is a Pearl white Series2 WGN34 manual 4WD RS4-S So how I came to own her, I have been slowly progressing through the skyline range as daily drivers, the first R chassis I loved was my R31 TI which served me well, purchased of an old guy and lightly modded to my liking. Sold this for my modified 32 gtst which I bought as I sold her, fully engineered at 220rwkw. Great to drive. Sold her for my 34gtt. Purchased of a mate stock and again lightly modded. The only issue with my 34 was the fact that it was silver and auto, neither of which I preferred. Playing around with the idea of doing another manual conversion and fixing bits of the body work up, I started on the lookout for a nice white manual 34 to sell into. While I was on my search the opportunity came about to get my hands on a factory manual RS4-S white C34 so I dipped my toes into the wagon world. A car I have always admired as I have always had a want for something a little different, something not every person can name off the top of their head …yes yes, nice Volvo mate. Mmmm Manual Random as f**k sticker which was since removed. No idea what it means. Bye bye 34 I was happy to get into a manual and happy with the car overall, she drove very well, servicing was good and up to date. It belonged to one of my mechanics mates, not a huge car person but enough to look after it and spend money where it was needed. Needed one hell of a tidy up though. The stag had a full turbo back exhaust, aftermarket wheels and the rest was stock so this is how she stayed for a while and took over my gruelling 700km per week daily duties. The clean-up began as this was in much need. The interior was filthy, these picks don’t even show how grimy it was. Seats were horrible, carpet needed cleaning, a few broken bits here and there which im working my way through but it did come with a simple boost guage, auto closing rear door, cargo blind and all electrics working a treat. Got stuck into it by hand with surprisingly good results. Which got a surprising amount out You can see the difference Just in the colour of the seats, again this pic doesn’t do it justice. The interior has been steam cleaned since but needs to be removed and done properly to make me a bit happier. I will be getting this professionally done soon. I have a work contact who spend 2 days removing the whole interior basically and going over every nook and cranny, something im still looking forward to. First real change was a simple swap over of wheels, the aftermarket wheels were not my taste and also I had just fitted brand new Potenza RE050 rubber on my 34 which were great and not something I wanted to loose, also a big fan of black wheels so on they went Got stuck into the paint and luckily it’s all in relatively good condition, a simple polish didn’t bring up too many hidden issues. Again it will get a full professional details soon enough. It unfortunately does have the usual stag rust spots, these are yet to be addressed Under mirror Rear wheel arch I Tinted the front windows Decided to stay legal meaning they don’t match the privacy glass in darkness but it dint worry me too much, looked better than the dicky front windows standing out and summer approaching Luckily through a local wrecker I picked up a pearl white dayz front bar, few chips and dents but not bad, gives it that more aggressive look for sure. The original front bar was a bit simple looking. Next on the list were the headlights, The driver’s side usual yellow fog cleaned up easily enough with a headlight restoration product and a good sealant. However they passenger side was losing its seal and condensation had gotten the better of the inside lens. This was as good as it was going to get without opening it up. So I bought a replacement from Fatz which cleaned up a treat. From . . . To Muuuuch better! Also picked up some eyelids, yet to fit

Hi Guys, I think its about time I think of selling my Stagea and get a smaller car. The car has been super reliable and has moved me up and down to Tasmania 4 times (for uni, live on the gc but went to uni in Tas) but now that I have graduated I don't need the space anymore. Over the years I have owned it I've only had to do minor things as it has been super reliable. 100,000km service including water pump (all genuine nissan stuff) New stock radiator (top tank cracked like they all do after 10+ years of service) Full 3" exhaust , turbo back with 3" catco cat (cat is pretty new) O2 sensor changed Front CV boots done before last trip up R34 GTT brakes (310mm front, 297 rear) stock brakes aren't very good for a decently quick wagon Eibach lowered springs (about 35mm lower, not harsh just firm and sporty) Impul shocks (work really well with the eibach springs) A heap of the front end bushes were also swapped out for superpro bushes recently EOI Price: $14,000 Car is located on the Gold Coast Will consider swaps, but only for something turbo and 4 cylinder

Location: Adelaide Price: $15,000 1999 Nissan Stagea C34 Series 2, RS Four-S (factory manual, think RS260 minus GTR engine and brembos. Gets LSD, stronger drive shafts, and thicker sway bars over the auto versions) I’m the 3nd Australian owner. I purchased the car privately in Melbourne in 2011 with 115,000kms on the clock. It currently has 136,500kms and comes with 8 months of rego. As you can see, I haven’t driven it a great deal. Premium upgrades with plenty of receipts for parts and work. I’ve always taken it to Jaustech or Boost Brothers Performance. The most recent serviced was performed at 135,000km by Boost Brothers. From the previous owners, it has a further 6 years of Australian service history at top workshops (Holford's and Chasers). Recently tuned by Boost Brothers Performance – 225 awkw. Dyno printout available. The body and interior are in fantastic condition. One of the cleanest C34s you will see, gets many comments to this effect.

It has previously been repaired by Extensive Wheel Services but appears to be slowly losing pressure again. 3) The front left steering rack end and the CV boots need replacing. As you can see, the car has many quality brand name mods and has been cared for by fastidious owners. It’s in seriously great condition and I’ve always given it whatever it needs. If you're serious please feel free to contact me, but don’t waste my time ridiculous offers. It’s not the cheapest on the market, but I guarantee that you won't find a better example.
