I have about 30 sec to get stuff out before it falls unless the ground is really flat.

Mine are labelled as 'STABILUS'

Both side look identical, but the part / serial numbers are different.

Left side:

1804RD 1125N 006/03 H16

90451 A0 010

Right side: 1896RA 1125N 013/03 E16

90450 A0 010

No idea if that helps at all.

Anyone know of a way to make the glass door stay open? Several times it has come crashing down on my head...its quite painful!! Really affects the usefulness - particularly if its windy of if you're parked on a slope.

My rear door struts seem ok at the moment, but the ones that lift up the boot floor are shot.

I normally use a mob called Strut Re-Gas. They're Syd based and mobile, but I'm sure there are others. Normally around $40 per strut, amd the use nitrogen, not compressed air like some less reputable guys. Last ones I had done were still great 7 years down the track. They can also reduce the pressure in any strut to accommodate things like Carbon/fibreglass/alloy bonnets that don't need to hold a lot of weight, or increase pressure to allow for spoilers/wings that drop the bootlid on your head. I'll have a look for the number of my local guy and post it up.

Cheers, Dale

The 25G ones dont open fully, so am looking for replacements.

At Supercheap they have all sorts of struts. Amgoing there tomorrow.

Hugh if you don,t have any joy at S/cheap there is a mob on the Gold Coast who service the marine industry and they re-gas struts at a reasonable price, should be able to find them in Yellow Pages.

I had the bonnet and boot struts regassed on my C34 years ago and they are still going strong, under $200 for the lot. I did check with nissan first, they had no more boot struts and bonnet ones were about 600 a pair.

Also be careful with aftermarket replacements, nissan use unusual/non standard upper and lower mounts (ie better engineered than ford or holden's ones). Supercheap etc only cover the local stuff

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
