what is your wheel widths and offsets?

any scrubbing with the spacers fitted?

Wheels are 9 inches wide and +30 offset

Only just put the front spacers on and have taken the ride for a burn yet, so I'm not sure.

  • 1 month later...

I had heaps of hassles with other aussie brands.

I found that it was easier to fit stagea specific wagon springs.

These items from Tein is what I used, also replaced the rear sway bar with a GTR one.

SKN78-S1B00 Nissan Stagea WGNC34 - Soft - F3.1 R3.8 (kg/mm).

These were for a S1 also available for S2 manual and tiptronic.

Note if you have a few more bucks coilovers or "Sydneykid's" setup with bilsteins is the way to go, it also pays to have a good offset instead of spacers.

Hope this helps.

The choice of spring rates has been discussed a fair bit in the suspension thread. The best Stag-specific 'upgrade' for tired stock springs is the Nismo S-Tune or TEIN as listed above (I've got S-Tune). There have been tales of 'not recommended' from Kings regarding using other models' springs in the rear (due to the potential loading), and then there's the coil-over kits you can get that are rated at 8+kg/mm which is damn stiff for a road car (M35's excepted).

Don't be too scared to ask the question regarding spring rates before you buy. Having the car look better (and they do) by lowering it 30mm is a waste of time if you get spat out of a corner backwards when you put 300kg of gear in the back...

I'm very happy with the S-Tune gear (Nismo badged Bilstein shocks w/circlip adjustment), but I'm sure a fresh set of stock springs and shocks would have made a big difference too!

been waiting a while haha.

going with them though, pretty good price

i just installed a set of these, haven't played with the damper setting much but the ride is very good. i've set the damper to half way. the spring rates are 8kg front and 6kg rears, even though they are heavier spring rates than stock i think it makes the ride much better.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
