most coilovers for stagea are just gtr ones with s14 rear top plates and they dont work PROPERLY. i wouldnt suggest stock gtr shocks either as there is alot of difference between a coupe and a wagon. chase up KYB with the part number stamped on the shocks. if that doesnt work you may have to get a set of stockers refurbished. id suggest teins or genuine nismo stuff as its the only shocks made to suit stagea.

What's the problem with the function of the majority of coilovers Ray?

called KYB aus distributor today, straight up NO on anything JDM. Im thinking ill just leave it for now and figure something out another day when i have some spare cash or when something pops up cheap. genuines were quoted at $190ea front, $330ea rears and that's trade!

You need to go to a better distributor, i got genuine KYB replacement shocks for an r33 off the shelf from a distributor in brisbane. I would guess they could get stagea ones if u have the part no. off them. If ur interested i'll look for the name.

Not so much function, as the setup doesnt suit the application. Out of the ones ive tried the rears are just never right. Ive spent alot of time and money changing springs and making adjustments which amounted to very little. The valving of the shocks on a wagon are not the same as a coupe, so the gtr rears dont really work. But its really relative to use. If u never carry anything in the back or go to the track u prob wont notice the inbalance. Your better off spending the money on a set ofcoilovers designed for a stagea. Rather than a cheap generic set adapted to bolt into anything.

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.

      They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)

      Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
