I did the bonnet struts when the car go there - they were dead. Maxima bonnet struts fit and worked fine (sorry the guy didn't know the series they were from so I can't confirm exact model code).

Anyway - my next problem is now the boot struts are dying - does anyone know a local replacement or do I need the bloke to bring his whole collection again?

If you go to any truck or bus spare parts joint they will have them. You only need to know two important things: 1. the pressure rating from the sticker on the side of the strut - in NM newton metres. 2. the travel length of the strut.

no pressure rating on the struts unfortunately - that would have been too easy.

Also - they are L and R according to their casings, and they don't use standard ball/spring type mounts. Looks like this is going to be a pain

I think you'll find the L and R mean jack shit. I had mine re-gassed the other day and I think I remember the man saying this.

Got my bonnet struts replaced from a mobile guy that has at least heard about stageas... i.e he didnt give me the ususal 'you have a nissan what???' when looking for parts.

Can come round to you if need be. Did them for bout $80 on exchange where he gets to keep your ones... they werent any use to me so was happy to hand them over.

Have his details round somewhere, let us know if you need them.

prolly the same guy then :) he asked me "nissan what eh?" but then wrote it down afterwards....I'll get him out for the boot as well

Sorry to start up old thread, but my S2 bonnet struts are dying a slow death and will fail shortly i think. So Nissan Maxima bonnet struts fit yeah? The mobile guy should have a pair?

true that if you are unshure take your strut with you and show them so the can measure it and they will have a rough idear of the stenth if it's not ritten on it.

go to a truck supplyer or a company that manafactures truck bodies or tradsman trailers and toolboxes.

in newcastle we have ovesco. hope this helps yu out

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
