So my Stagea 260RS (R33 GTR drivetrain) has a dead starter. It was replaced 3 years ago by a mechanic. I rang the guy and he said he would have fitted a cheap Chinese one (hence the 3 year failure). It would have been nice to have been asked whether I wanted the cheap option or the Bosch option. In any case, I've now rang Ashdowns, Repco and Autobarn and none of them have a listing for a replacement. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I pulled out the old starter and found it had JAS printed on it with a part number. So I rang JAS and they had one in stock at the local store for $220. That'll do me for now. Hopefully it doesn't crap itself in 3 years (no doubt it will). For anyone else looking, the part number was JAS SNB015 1233

Anything from a 25, 26 or 30 will suit as they have reduction gearing and starter length is the same.

The 20 doesn't have reduction gearing, starter is longer (clearance issues) and also might have trouble cranking the bigger capacity engine.

Pinion tooth count on all is the same, as is the flange to the bell housing.

    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here.
