Hi, i bought a Stagea and found out that gtr-registry.com calls my Stagea series 1.5 instead of series 1. i don't really know and cant find what that means tho, anyone know? does that mean that i could possibly have a ecu that can be fit with nistune?

Other than that i read in the thread for buyers that Stagea got keyless entry, i don't even have a key fob, just a regular old key without any buttons or anything.

thanks for answers :)

Some C34s have a key with two buttons for remote locking. . S1 had the R33 Mitsubishi CAS but some later S1 had the R34 Hitachi CAS . Has your car got the Neo engine that featured in some late S1 cars?

S1 ECUs are OV300, OV301 or OV310 and are not able to be Nistuned.

S2 ECUs have numbers like OV811 and can be Nistuned.

Hi, 

I also have a S1.5, mines a 25DE Neo. The ECU I have is a Hitachi and is not tubable. But yeah you should have a key with the two buttons on it to lock/unlock. Seems as though the previous owner may have lost that key and got a standard one cut or something?

Your Hitachi ECU is not tunable but it is capable of being fitted with a Nistune chip and then it can be tuned - but no point really on a DE.

My stagea was produced 1997-10 according to gtr-registry, but i don't know if it has a neo engine or not the enging code says it is a RB25DET.

where is the ecu mounted, i could go and check what ecu i got, and hope for the latter s2 ecu.

Is there a way for me to buy a keyfob and program it to my stagea?

Interesting, but S1 ecus cant have a nistune chip? and I'm able to have a nistune chip fitted because mines a S1.5 or neo correct? 
But yeah no point in doing that on a DE... just interesting on the ECU difference I guess.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
