Hi all,

I tried to go to the introduce yourself section of this forum but it comes up with an error msg. So seeing I joined to talk about & find out about Stagea's, I thought I would introduce myself here.

I once owned a 93 Skyline R33 sedan and loved it but it had some issues (bought it from a dodgy import dealer) so I got rid of it, then after the next non grey import and too much attention from the fuzz I got into four wheel driving to slow me down etc. So after a long time my love for fast cars has come back & now I'm a dad I needed something practical like the 4x4 but something to still enjoy and admire. Enter the Stagea....I just bought a low km series one auto Stagea RS4 AWD with Hicas :unsure: (Already looking at Hicas lock out bar)

So I have a few questions that I couldn't find exact answers too:

1. My Keyless entry doesn't work?, (I replaced the battery as I'm the first owner of this car in Australia)

2. Where can I get a workshop manual in English? (PDF format is fine)

3. Do these cars have a factory immobiliser?

4. Do Stagea's use OBDII diagnostics as I have a Scan Gauge II from my previous vehicle?

5. Where is the plug for the above?

Thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated.

Welcome, you will find answers to most of ur questions if u use the search function, just have to do a bit of reading. Just saying this cause ppl usually get flamed for asking question that hsve been answered a million times before, the answer to ur keyless entry should be in the stagea diy section

Welcome, Nice stagea, The Stagea's always look the best with the dayz front bumper.

I like this body kit, the side skirts are a bit damaged though by the previous owner from Japan.

Hi

should be able to find workshop manual on ebay, no factory immobiliser.

I wouldnt put a hicas lockout bar on unless you get an aftermarket ecu as it will cause the stock ecu to think that your hicas is failing and may cause more ecu issues than its worth.. Thats the advice my mechanic gave me and he should know as he had a Stagea and did so with his...

Thanks, I'll check out Ebay for the manual & thanks for the info on the lock out bar, but I already bought one.... Now I'll have to sort the ECU out, it never ends with modifying does it :rolleyes:

Just ordered the manual from ebay, thanks bjd. Where should I get a immobilizer fitted in the SE Brisbane area? I want to search the DIY section, but each time I get an error or it kicks me out back to the main forum page.... Moderators help needed!!!

A lot of info seems to have got lost/become inaccessible since the last revamp of the Website.

So far as I know the workshop manual has not yet been translated. There is an owner's handbook available. You can find R33 manuals online which take care of most of the mechanicals.

Does your central locking work? There is a tutorial on how to tune your key to the car but maybe the receiver is faulty.

The ecu is accessible via Nissan Consult not OBD - there are a number of aftermarket devices such as ecu talk

http://www.ecutalk.com/

that give you access mainly on a read only basis. The plug is behind the coin holder to the left of the fusebox.

HiCas delete should be the same as for the R33 so have a look in the skyline section (hopefully that is not broken too) and there are tutorials on getting rid of the hicas.

Thanks Kiwi,

I ordered a CD service manual off eBay today...

It's a shame all that info isn't accessible as its one of the reasons I joined this forum. Is it going to be fixed?? The Hicas lock out bar details have been explained to me. I will try searching the Skyline section for the other issues... Thanks again!

make sure you check the threads for the latest qld Stagea meet: confirmed for Sunday 24th June: would be good to have you along...

Thanks for the invite - I'll try and make it, but the day before the Stag is in the workshop getting coilovers, tie rods & Hicas lock out bar fitted. So hopefully it all goes to plan!?! Edited by Troppo

I'm in Brissy & have Nistune consult cable & software, I can come round & give you a hand if you like?

Thanks RB Bluey, if I can't get the central locking working I might take you up on that offer...

consult won't help with the central locking

it has probably had an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser installed at some point and they may have cut something

i'd be getting an adr compliant immobilizer fitted anyway as justcar won't insure you without one and most places give you a discount if you have one fitted

technically not correct, they will still insure you and take your money, but if it's not installed and you try to make a theft claim they will turn around and say no because it's one of our conditions that it is fitted. i really should get round to installing one in mine someday. :unsure:

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      im sure mine stays in gear and wont shift unless i shift it? and for sure it wont go back to Auto mode if its put in manual mode? if i use paddles but its still in D then of course it goes back to auto mode. but yer if its in -+ and i use paddles it will not auto change gears what so ever and i have tried this. it will gear down if at a stop though which is kinda nice but goes back to 1st gear not D. i think it used to be like this with imports aswell i dunno if its really like it anymore like when i got my R33 it had alot of JDM options which local cars didnt have. Now local cars have kinda caught up even the lower models. but yer transfer rates and other things makes it almost on par.

      Very decent bit of kit. Definitely black it out I reckon.

      PRP RB26 cast block + head prototype running

      Because people who want that are buying euros. The people with the money to buy the aftermarket heads and blocks aren’t interested in efficiency or making -7 power, they’re making well over 1,000hp and pretty much only drive them at full throttle  best way to way make money is know your customer base and what they want and don’t spend money making things they don’t want.

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      It's not, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity regardless. For example, what if the cylinder head was redesigned to fit a GDI fuel system? It's worth like two full points of compression ratio when looking at modern GDI turbo vs PFI turbo. I'm pretty reliably surprised at how much less turbo it takes to make similar power out of a modern engine vs something like an RB26. Something with roughly the same dimensions as a -7 on an S55 is making absolutely silly power numbers compared to an RB26. I know there's a ton of power loss from things like high tension rings, high viscosity oil, clutch fan, AWD standby loss, etc but it's something like 700 whp in an F80 M3 vs 400 whp in an R33 GTR. The stock TF035HL4W turbos in an F80 M3 are really rather dinky little things and that's enough to get 400 whp at 18 psi. This just seems unwise no? I thought the general approach is if you aren't knock limited the MFB50 should be held constant through the RPM range. So more timing with RPM, but less timing with more cylinder filling. A VE-based table should accordingly inverse the VE curve of the engine.
