Hi guys, :thumbsup:

I was approached by a friend to buy a Stagea Rear Strut Brace. If anybody else wants 1 please let me know. As it was his idea I gave him the choice as to which 1 to buy, He has gone with 'Greddy'.

Pictures attached,

This is not a stagea strut brace I just wanted to show what they look like.

Price is $250 delivered, These are Brand New. Delivery would be around 5 working days.

Please fell free to ask any questions.

OK, Had a few PM's come in. We will be able to get them cheaper at this rate.

I recently fitted a rear strut brace to my car, which has the full SK works on it: The rear brace was the most dramatic improvement in handling so far: it feels massively more stable and sure of itself... I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone with a Stagea...

For the record, I have absolutely no association at all with Jin Man: we have never met or spoken: I am just an enormously impressed stag owner with a rear strut brace :wacko:

:blink: Cheers mate,

how do u find the compromise of space in the rear? kinda defeats having a wagon if u got a metal bar across the back

I don't really notice it, to be honest... I had to work around it when I picked up the 2 toilets for the house, but other than that, most stuff fits underneath: I can still carry the mower, etc...

That said, My car is being promoted to weekend-only duties, so will no longer be carrying any loads, so in my opinion, it's more than worth it. The handling is sublime :wub:

not so much as a limited time but a limited amount. 5 got a discount so 5 have been ordered. Once they are sold that will be it. 2 paid for, 3 left. :)

Have a look at the Syline strut brace fitted to this Stagea:

No idea how its bolted on.

:P I think they might have actually drilled holes in the side of the tower and bolted it on the side. Wonder if the holes stretched over time?

fair enough, any chance you could hold one 'til this thursday?

D.

:) Done

Would love to see some photos of these actual ones installed in the back of a stag :)

Agreed. If I could just see a pic of how it would look, I'd be interested in one.

:happy:

Kind of defeats the purpose in a way. It would work far better on the strut tops!

Plus wouldn't drilling holes in the body owrk be a big no-no defect? Not to mention loss of rear space.

I guess thats a good reason why not to try and make a skyline 1 fit. :)

Hopefully when the first people receive theirs they will generous enough to show pics.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
