anyone ever find a part number for these? or an appropriate aftermarket unit?

You'd be better getting a strut Re-gas guy to measure up and obtain something suitable.

The issue will be the door end, as the bracket & ball is permanently affixed.

Is there a reason yours can't be regassed?

There a few places online where you can buy custom Struts, you give them the measurements and weights and what ends the struts need and they will make them up. (most if not all the stagea's have ball joint ends, fairly common)

Im sure if we get a few people interested we could see about a group buy with a strut making company....

I processor detective work in the dark in the garage in the morning. I took the gas spring to the desktop and I did the measurements and I found using Google the UK company that produces the desired gas spring lifting force. I examine the dimensions in the manufacturer's pages and I got to the shopping cart products:

Original gas strut includes a coarse threaded ball sockets so I have to buy new ball sockets with M8 thread. Also original gas strut is 1125N and i planned to order 1150N.

Gas spring original body length is 14 cm and a stroke length of 9cm so the total length of 23cm. This means that the GS10-22-100-150 will not physically fit in the car (gas strut body strikes to strut support iron when the backdoor is closed). This means that the manufacturer's catalog contains one of the appropriate gas spring GS10-22-70-120. This product is a body length of 2cm too short and the stroke length is also 2cm too short! This place is more suitable for shorter, with larger gas strut rear door can not be closed. If we replace B10 to B11 which is 6 mm longer so stroke length difference is now 14mm. So, the end result will be the door several centimeters lower.

My friend works at the selling company that imports the original STABILUS gas struts to Finland. I'll put him in the query that he have time to work on the sidejob to take a look availabilities and prices of original and possibly the bolt-on parts.

Now a moment to sleep. Whether others found other options?

Guys, i have found the original STABILUS number for OEM lifts. They are 095303

http://www.klee.dk/en/products/linear-motion-technology/gas-springs-lift-o-mat/04095303/

for you this should be OK) near 30 USD + shipping

Can you (or anyone) confirm that these are correct? As it doesn't match exactly with what I have in my car.

Dragon92, If that is for an M35, please post up the part number.

K250-22-1135n

$35 each

(Helps when i know the guy i got them from)

I also ordered a 10mm add on otherwise the boot wouldn't open as far.

No idea if you guys have found suitable replacements in OZ/NZ for your M35 Stagea tailgate and boot floor struts but I've just managed to order some new ones from SGS engineering in the UK. Cost about £100 / approx 160 AUD for all 4 struts.

 

Will let you know how I get on when they arrive!

Hi John

Yeah I still have the invoice - the part codes on it are:

 

GS10-22-100-150 Gas strut

B10 10mm metal ball socket

B3 10mm angled plastic ball socket

 

GS8-18-100-140 gas strut

B1 10mm plastic ball socket

 

Not sure which is which strut but I can take a look if you're only wanting to order the boot struts for example.

Hi Gazman2

Did you install those GS10-22-100-150 gas struts to your Stagea? I have those same struts and I'm trying to

put those to my 2001 Stagea 300rx... How did you install those cause I'm having trouble because struts are

so strong ( seems that they might fit if there is a way to pull the strut rod inside couple of centimeters when installing )

Has anyone here actually installed those GS struts to Stagea?? Or are they simply not for Stageas...

    • 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.
