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

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

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

is that a rare thing??

mines got that

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

*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!

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

:blink:

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... :blink:

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.

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!

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 :D

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.

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
