I'm pretty sure they're the same fitment as R33 GTSt, but the valving will have to be changed for the extra weight of the Stagea

Whereabouts are you, Brad? If you're in Sydney, contact Heasman's Suspension and Steering.

Im in Adelaide, though my mechanic ordered a set of shocks for my s2 rwd stagea, the front shocks came and the fronts where for a RS4 and the bilstein S.A rep said his listing on the 2wd stagea front shock was the same as the RS4, and he does not know what shock is in the 2wd..

Does anybody know the part number for bilstein shocks that go into the front of a S2 stagea RWD. And which model nissan match these shocks..Thanks for any help

This is an email response I got from NZ when I was looking for front shocks for my rwd s2, I found someone in Brizzy who will order them in for me. So I'm gonna do that as soon as I get my tax back biggrin.gif

"Hello,

Yes bilsteins are a excellent shock absorber, I just spoke with my product manager and he said try contacting Sydney shock absorbers as they also deal with Bilstein.

The part number to quote them will be BE5-2590

Could save a lot of hassle, time and money if you deal with them, if you have no luck with them then by all means contact me and let me know how you get on and I will try my best to help you out

Far as I know from what I've read and people have told me on here, the only thing that will swap direct is from a c34 Laurel. S14's fit apparently but you have to adjust them as the stagea is much heavier.

I know it's possible order Tein, bistien or nismo for direct fit. But I don't think it's a shelf item.

Have a read of the Suspension thread.

Cheers-

That part no. is for a 4wd stagea, I have been talking to my suspension mechanic and Bilstein do not make a shock for 2wd stagea they did not know that the 2wd has macpherson suspension.

This is a photo of a 2wd stagea shock does any body know what car it could be like???????

If you have a look on this site there is a listing for the Nismo suspension for 2wd Stageas. I know that the Nismo branded suspension on my awd WGCN34 is a rebadged Bilstein unit but I don't know what the 2wd Nismo unit is. There is a picture and a Nismo part number:

Thanks Guys, Bilstein Australia made some front inserts for the original 2WD shocks cause they don't make any for The 2WD. Cosy little more but the car is still legal with good quality shocks....

    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
    • That's some good input mate. Nice.
    • So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
    • Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on
    • Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
