hey

not sure wether its the same but on ours we had a knocking sound when going over bumps turned out to be the sway bar link arms and if thats what the prob is northshore prestige are good for parts

i dont want to put that rubber rubbish back into it. its weak and will do the same thing again, was looking for more a replacement nolathane etc?

are the front arms on the stagea similar to anything else nissan have? xtrail 350z etc?

sway bar Links to the lower control arm?? could be right. they did however look to be ok. but i am getting the same noises as you describe.

would like it fixed so its perfect for the next buyer if someone ever does come along to buy it

I had a knocking noise in the front end when weight cam on and off the front left corner.

turned out to be a loose nut on the swaybar mount that holds the bush. It felt tight and even with a bar would not move but put a socet on it and tightened it and no more noise.

worth a check before you spend money.

thats the bit that was our prob not the best pic shoulda got 1 from other side to but you should be able email nothshore prestige if it turns out that is ur problem about $75 per side

and if you have a pedders near you $14 for a full inspection and they will tell you exactly whats wrong

Mine makes all kinds of suspension noises when driving up driveways lol.

She's heavy so i put them down to weight factor lol

Nissan havn't tried to sell me any expensive arm set-ups or anything so I'll assume it's not something major that they could profit off, or they would have taken the opportunity!

On that note, the old girl goes in for a 100,000km service at Parramatta Motor Group on Wednesday.. woo hoo! happy birthday

On a side note, I'm planning on treating her to a beauty treatment at Seven Hills Detailing Centre as part of her birthday present.. I was umming and arrring due to the front quarter panel (p plater incident) and the drivers door (some c*n# with a key or something similiar in a carpark), but decided it might bring the rest of the paint up quiet well and will keep her looking good for a few months.

Anyways, my rant over :yes:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
