No problems mate. It's one of those things I want to do, just can't really justify it yet.

Plus it kind of worries me ordering parts from a bunch of numbers!

Hey Jase, yes the thought of ordering from those part numbers is abit of a worry, imagine it rocks up and its the wrong colour or something, i'd not be happy.

Yep that's exactly what I'm worried about.

I think I'll have to look into getting this FAST software myself..

Yeah, but even with Fast, you'd have to physically see the car whose VIN you're using to verify that the colour was the same... Actually, that gives me an idea: I hope there's a 260RS coming on the qld meet....

Good thinking Micah!

How many different coloured interiors are there?

I know in a series 2 the gunmetal grey plastic trims are slightly darker than a series 1

Micah,

The trim I have is out of a series 1 260rs, which would be the same as the series 1 RS4.

As far as I am aware, the parts that have been quoted for the console parts should for a series 1, as the people who have ordered them all own series 1 cars and have not complained about any colour differences.

I am the only series 2 owner that has converted on here, but luckly I picked up a s/hand series 2 console.

interesting point darrin, you got me thinking.

I have s1 converted with s2 manual parts and I spent some time starting at it today. Both the colour and pattern are very slightly different between the s1 bits and s2 bits- but you would never notice without staring and myself and no-one else have ever mentioned noticing it.

Guys don't worry about the part numbers in the thread. I was also worried (of course) so double checked them all and they were fine. I ordered directly from the list and got exactly what I needed. Also all parts are the same colour so nothing to worry about. The trim on the centre console does not match the s1 interior, not a problem for me because I retrimmed in leather.

Couldn't have put it better myself Duncan :rolleyes:

Took quite a bit or research on FAST, and a lot of triple checking to get the right numbers, and yes I was very anxious when I ordered the parts, but it all turned out sweet. And I'm glad other people have benefited.

As other people would know, there is only two interior colours available with the Stagea, the Z & J, so if your not sure, get your VIN FASTed.

I have, i got the blank plate for the cup holders and the blank plate for the auto indicators on the dash. I had problems with stock not being available, but as soon as it was, it took 3 days to get to me from Japan.

Yeah I know, I saw your car after I ordered the parts. I don't need 4 cup holders in the front though, 2 is enough for me.

4 cup holders? :P I don't need 4 either..

If I use the part numbers in this thread will I get 4 cup holders?

the manual console has the cupholders in the console. the auto stageas has them popping out from under the climate control. if you leave the pop-out ones in, and install the manual centre console, you get 4.

    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees. 
    • I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.
