I am in Auckland,NZ and very keen on a set of these.

I have front camber/castor arms as well as the rear bolts and BC Gold coilovers, but it's still a boat in the corners.

It would be great to get some control with these.

Daleo's bracing, and the Superpro compression bushes give a much more pronounced handling improvement than the sways imo. Not saying 'don't get em' but increasing the spring rate isn't going to improve the ride much, quite the opposite. I would be doing the lot...

Oh, I have. :P

These are currently not a stock item with Whiteline, but this too, is hopefully going to change soon.

I have shipped bars to NZ, generally my prices are better even once shipping is included.

I'm on the case with this, I'll keep you posted.

I have been chasing for months now; and they have basically told me that there are no plans to re-introduce them.
I presented a case to support their requirement of a minimum order, that I felt I could guarantee, but no.

I even told them that Superpro/Fulcrum are doing a bar set now; but they don't appear interested.

I have lost my direct contact in R&D, and my supplier doesn't get the kind of detail regarding supply that he used to receive either.

I'm sorry guys; I tried. I really tried.

You could go to Fulcrum, but I have no way to get good prices on their product, and they keep no stock; EVERYTHING is made to order, with a minimum 6-8 week lead time.

Thanks for trying for us Dale. For everyone looking for bars I grabbed a set of Superpro from ebay (from these guys: http://stores.ebay.com.au/Online-Performance-Autos). They took about two weeks to get them too me, was advised straight away about the delay. Haven't fitted them yet, cars in getting some work done.

Cheers

Hey Dale,

No problem, thank you for trying your hardest best. You shouldn't feel bad about it. I just upgraded my swaybar mount bushes until I find some bars. Cheers Sonny

SuperPro (I assume) on eBay at the moment:

Fronts (AU $238.50) - NISSAN STAGEA M35 AWD - 2001-2007 Front 33mm HD Blade Adjustable Sway Bar

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/191272490435

Rears (AU $214.65) - NISSAN STAGEA M35 AWD 2001-2007 Rear 20mm HD Blade Adjustable Sway Bar Swaybar
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360995089393

Would need to confirm if they come with new mount bushes too...I again assume they would.

Hi All,

Just to confirm and somewhat summarise this post from its beginnings...

What is currently the best available option for upgrading the suspension to stop the Stageas handling like a boat?

Have recently bought my 2001 Stagea (NM35) 250T RS Four and would like to sort it early next year.

Regards,

Toby

SuperPro is basically your only option in Australia now, Whiteline no longer manufacture bars for the NM35; and are not interested in reassessing that decision.

Lol... Rare!

Dale, ages ago, we did a group buy. I think it was selbeys or someone attached to that name? That's what I've got. Anyway, would that be an avenue for people wanting bars to explore again, or they out of business now?

Alex, Todd Selby was the guy I used, his business is Signature Swaybars.

He's still in business, but he moved down the South Coast.

The issue will be price IMO; he was around $300 per bar, and I'd imagine that will have increased in the meantime.

For the same money you could do the SuperPro bars. Maybe Scotty will chime in; I know he does a fair bit of trade with them nowadays; perhaps a group buy or bulk order could be placed?

I know they only manufacture to order; they don't keep stock on the shelf.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
