[Bis-e Bee]

ahh damn!!! ok ill find more shit you guys dont have in your povo packs

Jealousy is a curse, I'm thinking you won't find a *great* deal of difference between the RS / X

Our cars are just more sporty! Where as yours is a crossdresser, oops I mean crossover

is that a rare thing??

mines got that

mine didnt even have the stickers off it when i got my car

[Bis-e Bee]

I must admit that it sucks when you find out everyone else's Stagea has something that yours doesn't!

It's like ripped off majorly!

If I come across any during my gogglie's searchs etc I'll let you know iamhe77

*chin sinks into chest*

* face sinks into hands*

Guess it has nothing to do with the "Aero selection" as they say.

I would say that it may have been something Nissan introduced in 2002+, but my mates M35 doesn't have them either!

hm...well mines a 2003 model..

Mine is a 2001 model, given the marks and wear etc. I'd say they were there from factory.

Maybe they were an option, though FAST didn't say anything??

Anyone fitted an ARX LSD to an RS or RX? Straight forward?

My RS has an lsd...

Might be more common than previously thought. Seems to be varying spec levels across the different models, i.e. leather, 6 stack BOSE, nav, etc.

No reason why this couldn't apply to diff, esp. if there is no ratio difference.

What's the easiest way to check incase mine does have it?!

Besides planting it in the wet lol

Beat me to that question.

I have planted it in the wet (determined to get it sideways).

U-turn (or U-bolt for all the NSW peeps) at about 15kph, then planted it 3/4 of the way through.

Rear end slipped out a little (turned the wheel to between 10 & 11 o'clock to correct) and fronts immediately gripped and I was at 100kph in no time.

How would an LSD or lack of LSD change this scenario?

Jack one rear wheel off the ground, with handbrake off, rotate wheel. If wheel turns, no lsd. Friction from lsd will prevent you from rotating wheel. Good luck, hopefully more free lsd's will be found!

[iamhe77]

hmm will have to try tonight.

Could be interesting since the fronts are on ramps at the moment (and have been for the past week! )

also dont have an overdrive button.

[andy65b]

also dont have an overdrive button.

If you want a boost gauge, you need to fit your own but it is very easy.

The 5th gear is the overdrive, if you put it in triptronic mode it will start in 4. Then you need to change to 5 if you want a taller gear.

2003 RS FOUR here, with the guages in the centre (except my boost guage is broken - barely works - 99% of the time it sits on full vacuum even under heavy throttle when i can hear the turbo spooling).

no "stagea" on door sills, no leather, no heated seats, no rear air-con vents... you guys suck lol

but hey...i do have guages...even if only 2 of them are working (but the volts one isn't very interesting and i dont drive fast enough for the front torque one to move much either).

no overdrive button - but then s2 stageas dont have one either. no real need when you have tiptronic.

[zei20l]

give it a hit in the wet around a corner and youll see the torque gauge move

ive actually worked out how to get the stagea sideways in the wet!!
