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.

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
