SK - I look forward to see how things go with your RS four. Long term my aim to have something pretty close to that as well (ultimate sleeper :D ).

What are your thoughts on the unichip over the SAFCII for the auto ? Would the ignition control of the unichip work (I know the E-mange won't work :D ).

Stagea Section

How's insurance things goin for Stagea? I lodged in mine for Rating 2 >30 male in VIC and it's $1100, which is $200 less than my R33 for the same agreed value. (Using an example of a $19000 landed RS Four from an importer's list)

Hi J, That's a good thought, I haven't tried a Unichip in a late model ECU, they are pretty well sealed though. If it can actually be fitted then it should retain the shift logic. The A/F and ignition maps are independant from the auto programming. So it will overide the "tuned" timing at gearchange time. :cheers:

Shannons is half NRMA at $1.2K for $20K. Who was you quote from rs73?

a stagea is a gtr in a wagon corect ? how much are stageas worth ?

Peter

Yes and No.

Yes - If you find the 260RS wagon which has RB26DETT (twin turbo GTR) engine and GTR AWD running gear

No - If you buy the normal RS Four with RB25DET (single turbo GTS-t) engine and AWD running gear - more like GTS4 turbo

Price is hard to say they range from $18k for an auto RS4 to $60k+ for a genuine 260RS

Have look on www.skylinesdownunder.co.nz there is a company in NZ that translates workshop manuals and they advertise there. I have their translations of the R32 manuals and they are great. If you can't find a Stagea engine manual, I would reckon a R34 GTT would do the job.

Hope that helps

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
