hey all.. im new.

i bought surfstagea's car yesterday and am looking for some info already...

ive been offered some coilovers for my car but they dont look right.

the front and rear are meant to have the (O) shape at the bottom?

the ones ive been shown have the (O) at the bottom of the front and a upside down U shape at the bottom of the other two...?

are these to suit the stagea?

everything i search for seems to come up with dead ends

thanks in advance

Ash (another happy stagea owner)

p.s. looking forward to chilling around on here a lot more

ok mate the rear shocks u mention with the fork ends (u shape) are for a gtr, or a stagea 260rs which has the gtr rear end, so they wont fit a normal stagea. u need the gts-t style o holes and they will fit front and back, though the weight difference in the stagea wont be very suited to gts-t shocks. :O

hope it helps

I believe these will fit the Stagea.... after having my mags put on Friday, I had a good look at the suspn, and Im sure these would do the trick.

hey mate those will not fit a stagea rs four. front end no problem, rears have the fork style ends and the stagea rs four have the o shaped holes. unless u put gtr rear hubs/brakes/diff/ custom length axles on like mine they wont fit.

gtr = fork end rears

gts-t = o ring rears

stagea rs four = o ring rears

stagea 260rs = fork end rears

just to clear things up abit :(

cheers

Nope, the fronts are eye (O if you prefer) same as the rear. I have NEVER seen a Skyline R32/33/34 or Stagea with a fork front shock.

Front shock

PS; all of this info is in the Stagea Suspension thread, which is a sticky at the top of the Stagea page.

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
