What are you going to do regarding the engine harness? The question is, IS the stagea plug the same as a R34 GTT?

If need be, use a R34 GTT harness

There is one for sale at the moment for $400

When my 2 Stagea's get here in approx 3 weeks, I will be able to compare my S1 and S2 side by side, and also have my R33 GTST to compare with if need be.

Also my importer mate has 2-off S2 Stagea Neo engines with "manual boxes" attached coming this week, so I will be comparing them aswell.

i Spoke to John at UAS yesterday, he can supply, fit and dyno tune a power fc onto a S2 rs four s stagea for $2200

Bozidar, who i work with for saikoogarage.com can do an installed an tuned pfc for 1800. You'd probably get change.

And he can sure tune em - he built a 180sx w/ SR20DET up that does 11.3 quarters.

the next thing of course is which specific model FC to get? as there are a few different ones available?

if anyone has a specific part number/model number would be a good thing to go on.

would make life easier when searching the net or shops for prices etc.

Thats really does suck, because i do believe well in my case anyway that it is a waste of time and money going manual, i would just be better off buying a 260rs which im not going to do as of yet anyway, or just going back to an S13/14/15 manual standard from factory.

If you want manual buy a car manual from factory, conversions are always a pain in the arse.... and that is from experience

but for the guys who bought their stags a while back when manuals were up around 30k self import and autos were 15 to 20 grand still a cheaper proposition to go manual via a conversion and also with the ratios of manuals to autos it far easier to find a car with everything you want and the colour you want for a good price than a similar manual

my 2c

I fully understand what you are saying, and i give props to anyone who has done or is going to convert to manual.

Basically my point that i was trying to make was its a shame they dont make auto pfc, as i dont intend on going manual, well in the short term anyway.

And im sure a lot less people would go manual if they new they could get pfc for auto.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
