Hi to the guys and gals of SAU, I've gone and got myself an RS Four S Stagea for a family wagon and the info in it in the UK is next to non existant. I have no real idea why but so far the Stagea section on this forum has saved my ass at least once in looking for things. In regards to this if I find out any information or specifics I'll post in the appropriate thread and keep the knowledge going. For now though it's back out to finish pulling my dash apart and replacing blown bulbs, nothing miffs me more than not being able to see what buttons I need to press when it's dark (I know this is asking for trouble as I'm a) a pom and b) buttons in the dark eh? lol however I am leaving it as is :P )

Thats my quick intro for now and I'll be sure to spam up the forum with pictures and questions later, I'm guessing it'll probably be the morning for you guys hehehe.

Chris

Ty all and Gezza I'm from the area near Hemel Hempstead originally (the place where the fuel depot exploded) but live near Gloucester now. Think I've got some info and mods for guys with S2 stag's regarding the dash and climate control lighting but I'm waiting on parts to verify things and make sure it all works as planned. Could save some hassle for someone and may be applicable in part to the S1's too. Hopefully I'll get to post pics and get myself a thread going sometime soon but between long trips to see the folks, keeping the kids amused and my split shifts (2 days and 2 nights, 10 hours a shift) I have very little time to work on the Stagea or get online and even less time to get my Prelude back on the road as it's at my folks place still. Of course the weekly rape of my wages with tax and more tax when I buy or import things doesn't help, not sure on the exchange rates but we're on about £1.41+ per litre of super unleaded at the moment, not wallet friendly lol.

I'm off to try and route a pipe for my new boost gauge before work now and think I'll be on the heavily caffinated "energy" drinks tonight, fingers crossed the bulbs turn up tomorrow and I'll get some pics and info up asap. On that note if any of you guys have an electronic copy of the stagea workshop manual either in english or japanese I'd love a copy for reference and possibly to get translated if I can convince some friends of friends to do mates rates hehe.

Thanks again for the warm welcome and you never know I might get to travel back to Brisbane sometime, just need to win a stack of cash first :thumbsup:

      Rb head oil drain dimensions

      By Papichulo96 · Posted

      Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
