not as far as i'm aware. i'm using an R33 series 2 ecu so i can plug a powerfc into it.

how do you get around the 4wd issue when using that ecu?

Good work, Darrin.

Looks the same as the one in my car, which is apparently (according to Beastien) the series 2 console. It looks like it has the glvebox that opens both ways - either towards the driver or the passenger.

wow I just read that whole thing

there went my day ,

I do have a idea with the surround for the shifter, friend of mine had a guy do some custom plastics work for him in his liberty for his foldout head unit ect. was 100% mint work * ill dig the photos up later *

anyway . I’m thinking personally ill ditch the cup piece at the back . and have him put in the slot for the hand break and edit where the auto went to put the piece under there for the gear boot.

stuffed if I’m paying 2k for it all :)

I havent pulled mine apart yet. but how is it under the auto peice. ie, is there enouf room to mount the handbreak gear. is there much junk under there the auto shifter sits ?

Yeah there is not too much stuff under mine, and there is more than enough room for the handbrake, just make sure they weld yours in properly..... mine was held on with 2 or 3 tack welds that were done by an eplieptic monkey, so one day they broke, I havent got it fixed yet, not much use for a handbrake here in Rocky :)

Yeah I am going to go for 4-5 big high tensile bolts and then weld them to the floorpan, that way it aint never coming off :)

So when did you buy a Stag, did you get rid of the sil80?

Yep . got rid of my lovely s13 :)

only so far that much power on rwd gets you eh . wanted something bigger / and more potentional . let alone something newer * s13 was starting to get a bit old * plus still have a track s13 lol

So first move is to get rid of this shocking auto. Then swap the rb25 out for something with a bit more poke :D

R33 GTS 25T Flywheel & Bolts

R33 GTS 25T Clutch & Pressure Plate

R33 GTR Quick-Shift Gear lever

R34 Clutch Pedal

R34 Brake Pedal

R33 Clutch Master Cylinder & Lines

Spigot Bush (for end of Crankshaft)

Do I need to pull my dash to drill the hole for the Clutch Master Cylinder?

So far I think I'm up to NZ$1500 in parts

    • You need the kit turbo taipan has shown you because that manifold ia designed have side feed injectors 
    • @johnnysr22 did you end up installing the little screen thingy and did it work ?>   
    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.
