M35 Tailgate Gas Struts

[Cephas]

Anyone know where to get replacement tailgate struts for the M35?

Thanks.

Haha... yeah I noticed last night that mine are starting to get a bit weak. Will be looking into it today, hopefully

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.

+1 on tailgate not staying up

just get them regassed!

i saw a pair of new ones on IM several months ago, well over $150 before shipping and taxes etc

A regas is only about $80.

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

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

my head hurts from both the glass door in the wind, and the bigger door also

Yep, will most likely be the way I go (can't see the Nissan one's costing under $100)

Now for some bonnet struts....

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

Group buy on gas?

I too would be interested.

Might be the cold weather making it worse, lowering the pressure.

They re-gas existing struts, or will match up new struts and pressurise to suit for any application.

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

[Chris Rogers]

someone get me a part number (or chassis) and I'll see what I can get them out of japan for

[Atenza]

I´m searching for this, anyone here know where i can order?? also if they ship to sweden

[nokonzok]

I need them too. All info is appreciated.

[scotty nm35]

I had mine regassed, repaired at home and only $80. Shame I didn't get the boot floor ones done at the same time.

The door has never been so easy to lift.
