Well my 1997 RWD Stagea isn't looking too good after someone failed to stop at a stop sign. . . Just after I had almost finished modifying it :(

So I bought another Stagea while i'm waiting for Insurance to be sorted out. Its a 1999 4WD (I think the registered year is wrong as it seems like a S1 to me) that needs a bit of work. I'm going to get a GTR gearbox and do a manual conversion, I've been told that its not good to try and convert it to RWD so i'll just leave it as is and might +t it later.

I had some questions but have now forgotten them, i'll post them when I remember :unsure:

Blonde moment maybe but i'm definitely not blonde,at least the last time I checked I wasn't lol.

I think Bob answered some of my questions on Skylines Downunder, he said its not really practical to change to RWD.

I can't decide between +t, +tt or a supercharger.

With turbos would I have to change anything like injectors etc? And how much can a RB25DE handle?

I'd never turbo an N/A motor. Don't get me wrong, you can do it, but it won't be long before something goes pop

If you want boost, do an engine conversion.

If you want something different and don't need your car reliable for several months, go charged
Otherwise you could stroke it?

Ok, maybe i'll just wait for a RS4 to come into my partners work and do an engine swap. They don't come in very often though and i'd like to manual it ASAP.

Have a read through Build Thread: Adam's Nissan Stagea C34

It will answer some questions regarding a manual conversion as well as all the differences and work involved.

The time, effort and detail he has put into the thread is really impressive.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
