hey guys i have an 97 stagea and im wonderig what the norm is for idleing on the highway? at around 100 to 110ks mine sits on 3 grand.... just seems to high.... feels like the auto needs to drop back.

have had it to the auto shop and hooked it up to the scanners. everythings doing what it is supposed to. was told that it could be the tps switch that might need adjusting. adjusted it in increments to no success. weird thing is it has an open centre in it?? thought it would run an lsd???

any other ideas.???

also the 4wd doesent work. havent even looked into this problem yet. where do i start????

Yeah at 100kph I sit on 3100rpm. But mine is manual, and yes I have it in 5th :(

And how do you know the 4wd doesnt work? Also are you sure you have a 4wd model or a rwd model?

do a search in the general automotive section, I remember seeing a DIY in there about reseting idle and it had something to do with an air bleed on the plennum.

Mine (was) at 2500 - 2600 at 100kph and I have 17" on 45 series and a stock as a rock auto.

thats a real worry - has the attessa pump got any fluid in it?

It may just need bleeding, but I would have a close look at it if I were you. Running the pump and/or transfer case dry (if that is the problem) can get very expensive. Usually, the only way to get a stagea to run in RWD only is to drop the front driveshaft out - the old "just pull the 4WD fuse" doesn't really work and can actually cause damage if left like that.

Mines auto and sits just on 2500. Worked out it does just on 40k/1000 when the converter is locked up. Am running 17"

225/50/17 Federal595'

Just a further on this.

I got wacked twice for "exceeding the speed limit" but concluded the checking methods were suss. No charges.

I run a general rule, 10, 20, 30, 40 kph/1000rpm in 1st, 2nd 3rd OD. Around the Mountain (town) I now popthe OD to OFF.

Keep to 2000 and no dramas. Thats what I do.

It is interesting to see that there is quite a difference between various owners. you would have to check on the final drive ratio

and the actual diameter of your wheels to see exactly where each vehiclewas at. And if auto that the converter actually does lock up.

My old RMR30 (used to) did 50k/1000, locked up. Couldn't get her started for her final triptoday. I think she knew.

She used to peak about 4250. But the RMR30 were a very slippery vehicle and had one of the lowest coefficients of drag

factors of most cars of its time. It is what made them fast, not quick, fast.

So there are a lot of factors that govern the revs/km. All aspects have to be taken into consideration.

Owning a NIssan is such fun. I have five. Well four after today.

      Hey @sycotixwhere did you get the spark plugs replaced?  was that somewhere in Hoppers crossing too?   I’m planning to go to Backlash Automotive in Hoppers when my clovers come but if you found a decent garage on this side to do spark plugs, I’d be interested too.    PS: also been reading the drama with the car at the start. Glad you got that sorted

      I thought you were remarkably coherent and made the most of the inane questions you were given to work with. I love the thumbnail shot with dust blowing up from the diffuser.

      2000 R34 Skyline 4wd (ENR34), auto transmission, RB25DE swap to RB25DET from 1996 Stagea

      By VancouverR34 · Posted

      Hi, I have a 2000 Skyline ENR34 (4wd) with an automatic transmission that I would like to convert to RB25DET. I have access to a 4wd, RB25DET 1996 Stagea with auto tranmission that is being parted out. Please, help me get the part list needed for the swap. I was planning on just getting the RB25DET engine with the turbo, manufolds, intercooler, piping, downpipe and ECU but was told that the auto transmission in ENR34 that doesn't have the "manual" +/- gear selections is the weakest of all and needs to be replaced too. Thus I might be buying transmission too.  So, I would like to ask those who know this stuff to comment please before I cash out for parts I might not need. Is that auto transmission in ENR34 really that week that it's better to replace it? Would a 1996 4wd turbo Nissan Stagea have a NEO6 engine or it is pre-neo6 engine? If it's a pre-neo6, is there much difference to neo6 to question this swap if I should do it or not? What is better - to add turbo/manifolds/piping/intercooler/ecu to RB25DE leaving the originalengine with the head and auto transmission in the car as is or swap to RB25DET and possible transmission swap too? If I swap the transmission to that from 1996 Stagea, would I still be able to use/keep the trim/shifter from Skylne and would it have the same gear/ratio to work with the rear diff from ENR34 or if I'm putting a Stagea transmission then I would need to match it with the rear diff from Stagea too?  I know that's lots of questions but I would rather get prepaired before the work starts than start and make mistakes as I go to be figuring them out after it's too late. Let me know as I don't want to miss this part-out DET 4wd Stagea as they don't come too often in Canada. Thanks in advance!
