G'day Mates, Wtb Stagea

[GroceryZilla]

Hi guys, Matty here.

Been reading for a few months but only joined recently.

Unfortunately had my stagea s2 rs4 manual written off and am looking to buy another stag asap.

Love the car to bits and I will be parting it in the next month or so.

ATM I can only find series 1 stageas for sale, and the one I am looking at is pretty clean. Wondering whether it's worth doing a manual/engine changeover to the neo/manual from my series 2?

Please let me know what you think and hope to be cruising again soon.

That's bad news.

Nope. Don't do that

Wait till a series 2 comes along.

Hey Ben.

Only reason I had considered a manual conversion was the one I'm looking at has the r34 front conversion done and it's a pretty decent price. Automatics just hurt my heart haha.

I know there is probably a lot of work with the conversion but I have the bits available, can you elaborate a bit more?

[Ben C34]

Can't remember the guys name at the moment, he put a manual neo into an s1 and said it was a nightmare. Heaps of hidden wiring differences.

like most models of cars, it's not just the engine loom that will be different. If you're willing to strip both cars; carpet, dash, everything, yes it can be done quite quickly. You will still need to do some cutting of the loom, whether that may be engine engine bay dash body etc. The other way is to start cutting, but most people do this who have done it before or have wiring diagrams.

I can tell you first hand, once you have found one problem another will pop up.

Could always sell the neo for 1-2g and put your manual into the 34 fronted s1. Then later on wire in a stand alone to tune.

[GroceryZilla]

Yeah I'd assume as much.

Did he post anything about it on here?

I have a power fc ready to go and a few other bits and a perfectly good neo hence why the question about the change.

Is the series 2 manual gearbox compatible with non neo rb25det?

There just doesn't seem to be any series 2 manuals that haven't hit 200xxx clicks.

Cheers for the heads up though mate.
