hi guys not sure if this is the right place to post tech issues on stageas and if it isnt could you please direct me but the problem i have is my poor stag (97' S1 AUTO) and started "lurching" when i get into 5th gear usually on the freeway but when i give it a little more gas and it drops down a gear it runs fine again. its almost like a rocking movement as if the gears arent quite biting properly, and slowing do to come up to intersections or round-abouts she'll sometimes stall/turn off... also when i do a full steer lock and reverse, i get a kind of faint knocking sound from the rear somewhere and its a lot louder if the snow / 4WD button is on...does this sound like my tranny is about to give up the ghost?-any advice would be a big help ay-cheers!

Hey All, :)

Had my 2000 S2 RS4 for about 2 months now, freaking love it! :D

Random question here: out of the two options MV automatics shift kit, or just plugging the box... What are the pro's / cons from each option?

Also, is the Auto adaptive? Been making the most out of 1st quite a lot lately and now it holds first for a few weeks on about 20% throttle, which gets a bit annoying when trying to be sensible :( Any suggestions would be appreciated, Will take a look this weekend and see if I can find anything.

Also: I am chasing an exhaust/turbo/other parts, so if anyone here has stuff for sale that I might find useful and they want to get rid of them :) Let me know.

cheers,

Brendan.

Never mind, going to build a 26 up whilst keeping it pretty stock, may as well do a worthwhile mod :)

SAD NEWS!! I found out Today that Steve Hobby has died. For those that knew him this is very sad news. He was a very likeable guy. He owned an Autech 260. His skyline name was Oteku260. This run on the 13th will be to his memory. I have no other details of his passing as yet. He died on or close to 5th April 2012. Our thoughts are with his family.

hi guys,

i did not really notice that the 13th of may will be mothers day.

due to this i will be moving the date of the cruise.

i think there will be conflict of interest on this day. so less people will show.

extending it for another week means that we have enough time to prepare and vacant our weekend for this cruise in memory of Steve Hobby (oteku260).

if this has been a bit of an inconvenience to you, i sincerely apologize.

i hope we can all make it on this as im really keen to put faces into names and meet more stagea owners as im new to the scene.

so here it is..

SUNDAY 20th May 2012.

time tentative still but planning for a 10 o'clock meet and leaving at 11.

MEET UP at city west car park.

city to hills run

back roads of serpentine.

mundaring weir rd.

2 stops for some pics and BBQ.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
