    Keioffice Coilovers (RS4S)

    in Stagea Parts Classifieds

    Posted · Edited by pipster11

    Set of Keioffice coilivers to suit an RS4s (Fork end on the rear shocks).

    Suit rebuild as one has a bent shaft. I was going to rebuild them with BC shocks, but never got that far (Pretty sure the thread is the same)

    $200 ono, located in Carina, Brisbane. Can ship but would be pretty expensive.

    What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

    Changed the oil a while ago

    Changed the thermostat last night. Was running an r33 one for the last couple of years and thought maybe running at 82° instead of 87° might be causing it it use more fuel. South a pain to change on the rb25, must the the plenum design.

    Will see how it goes, averaging around 15.5-13 l/100km

    More that I can't justify the supporting mods to make the most of one of your turbos. I will be selling in the next 6 months too so would prefer to fix up the turbo but don't want to outlay too much money as I won't recover it. And would prefer something new rather than swapping an unknown stock turbo onto it.

    Over the years I've seen a few Stagea owners searching for a similar option as the car is just a daily driver for them, surely some skyline owners would also like a core that they could throw in and not worry about exploding and run on a stock tune

    Hey Stao

    I've been out of this thread for a while but I've got a couple of questions.

    Its hard to find new CHRA's for stock rb turbos, how much would it cost to make one that fits into stock housings?

    My neo turbo is on its way out but I don't want to highflow because it would then need clutch, fmic, coilpacks etc etc, I'm happy with how it performs as it is (its just a daily)

    I was thinking the other day, there must be a few people who want a rebuilt stock turbo that won't need to be tuned afterwards.

    Would this be something you could make for a reasonable price?

    Hi Guys, I think its about time I think of selling my Stagea and get a smaller car.

    The car has been super reliable and has moved me up and down to Tasmania 4 times (for uni, live on the gc but went to uni in Tas) but now that I have graduated I don't need the space anymore.

    Over the years I have owned it I've only had to do minor things as it has been super reliable.

    100,000km service including water pump (all genuine nissan stuff)

    New stock radiator (top tank cracked like they all do after 10+ years of service)

    Full 3" exhaust , turbo back with 3" catco cat (cat is pretty new)

    O2 sensor changed

    Front CV boots done before last trip up

    R34 GTT brakes (310mm front, 297 rear) stock brakes aren't very good for a decently quick wagon

    Eibach lowered springs (about 35mm lower, not harsh just firm and sporty)

    Impul shocks (work really well with the eibach springs)

    A heap of the front end bushes were also swapped out for superpro bushes recently

    EOI Price: $14,000

    Car is located on the Gold Coast

    Will consider swaps, but only for something turbo and 4 cylinder

    Bc Racing Coilovers?

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Sorry mate don't have the full specs but I do know that the shock body length for the rear inserts is 360mm for R34 and 340mm for R33.

    Also anyone else reading this thread, I just replaced one of my rear BC BR's (insert only) as it started squeaking after 18,000 kms. I'm running lower spring rates (F:6, R:5) on my R34 sedan, not sure if that was a contributing factor. Otherwise still very happy with the ride quality.

    Thanks mate, Do you mind disclosing what that cost you? And also who you went through to organise it?

    Can someone please measure up their bc's for me?

    I'm thinking the cartridges may be of use to me to rebuild some coilovers I alread own and are pretty cheap

    Just need to know overall length of the cartridge (not really important)

    And outer diameter (outside of the threaded section) or (inside diameter of the lock rings)

    If this works i'll be super happy

    Cheers!

    Hey Guys




    I bought some cheap coilovers (cheap because the spring perches were a little damaged) and at least one of the shocks is blown



    I've measured mine up and I'm thinking that maybe some bc inserts will fit.



    Can someone measure their outer diameter (or the inner diameter of their adjuster rings, mine is 52mm)



    From what i remember replacement bc cartridges are reasonable and if i can get them to suit for a reasonable price i'll be stoked!





    Cheers, Tom




    TL:DR Want to know if BC's are the same size as my kei office coilover inserts

    Also, if you have some bc's sitting around (uninstalled, for sale, broken etc) and can spare 10 mins of your life let me know and i'll bring my inserts to compare.

    Cheers, Tom

    Yep, same, mate.

    I've always tried to follow the "do it once, and do it properly" philosophy.

    Now to decide if I wanna spend big on a new head unit with reverse camera, sat nav, iPod connectivity and blue tooth, or just update to something with iPod and BT only. I've got a pretty recent Garmin GPS with free updates for life, I just need to keep it in the car. I just hate having hundreds of different things hanging off the windscreen and dash. Would much rather an all-in-one solution and have the convenience of optional reversing camera available too.

    eonon have some ok stuff if you don't want to pay $2k for an alpine gps one (or whatever they cost

    http://www.eonon.com/Default.aspx

    my mate had one in his evo9 and it was pretty good for the price they cost (was a few years ago too)

    some of them run android now too

    in other news:

    I'm flying down to Melbourne tmrw to meet my step-dad who is kindly bringing my car over on the Spirit of Tas

    Then $300-400 of fuel later we should be back home on the Gold Coast :D

    Can't wait to get it back on the mainland and get out of the borrowed VS commodore :yucky:

    I had same problem with my td06 20g on the std manifold. I found that goin to a thicker sort of crush turbo gasket helped a lot (think it was mls). The single, realy thin stainless gaskets are rubbish.

    Also stubbled across this on facebook. They might sell 4 studs on their own for the turbo side.

    Racetune Inconel Studs now available! Pictured here is an RB20 RB25 RB26 RB30 kit featuring Inconel studs with rolled threads and stainless steel lock nuts. Why pay close to $120 for genuine Nissan junk made out of mild steel and guaranteed to break?

    Get some Inconel studs for $220 delivered Australia wide.

    Inconel is the same material that turbo shafts and blades are made out of and are highly heat and corrosion resistance.

    Message us in Facebook or email [email protected] to order.

    Pickup available from Vic.

    Those threads are cut, not rolled

    From what i've read rolled threads are much stronger (rolling work-hardens the surface of the steel)

    But i guess if the studs get hot enough it'll anneal it anyway, undoing the work-hardening process

    Not a bad deal, just check/ask about rust under the mirrors and verify that its not a cold pack model (usually just has 1 reverse light and 1 rear fog, whereas normal is symetrical and has 2 reverse lights)

    RSFour S and 260RS were the only factory manual cars
