There could be BIG issues with this car to get it complied

S1 were never manual

May all depend on how well the conversion is done, in regards to the firewall, gearbox tunnel hole for gear stick and handbrake mount.

Super cheap price but.

My S1 was Y450,000,and it has no front Stagea badge. Thats why she thinks she is a Volvo, or an Audi RS4.

Mine was grade 4, and in nearly Excellent condition. Original colour,VGC>

With the normal price drops that go on as time goes by and more S2 with lots of goodies come on the market, S1s will probably be unsellable except for spares.

Personally I have never liked resprays,they can cover a multitude of sins.

hey alex as said above i think the initial exclusiveness of the stageas when we purchased ours over 18 months ago and the lack of cars to choose from made the caryards be able to say a purchase price they want as if u dont like it u simply dont get one.

series 2's are now making series 1's cheap as hell which isnt good considering they are pretty much the same except the neo engine and a few cosmetic changes.

that black one with the "photos available after purchase" is pretty rude in my opinion and that just shows there is things they are trying to hide in the couple of pics supplied so be wary.

series 1 front ends look 100 times better but and i reckon more series 2 owners will want the series 1 grille and thats about all thats better on the s1's.

does anyone know how many autech stageas were made by any chance? i read 100 but there are about 10 or more in oz ive heard and read about i doubt its only 100 and more like 500 or more?? im sure jake32 would know?

    • From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.
    • Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.
    • Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.
    • Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)
    • Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
