Anyone got a part number for lowered rear springs for an auto s1?

Whiteline or kings?

Cheers

Rodney

the numbers I had were:

83159 Front springs

70191 Rear Springs

all whiteline part numbers and ordered through SK

does the suspension from a 260 fit onto a s2 manual stagea?

need to swap out coilovers for pits, and if i can borrow from a guy in perth and just need to make sure it fits,

i tried to read all of this thread but its full of a lot of bullshit......

Yes it will fit

Well after a week I have had a shatter (Axle Tramp)over the front left hand on power and only happen once now and than now So I had a mate look over the car and test drive the car a for a few days and say I maybe up for new front bushes.

I going to get another wheel alignment check done to the car again tomorrow from a different company as it was only done less than 2k ago just to iron out that it not toe or some thing like that's an easy fix and put it on the Peds suspension check

Well after searching for hours I cant see if for sure that the Front and Rear bushes for a S2 are the same off a R33 ?

If they are dose any know where I cant get some ASAP within Sydney as I have notice from SK and other have posted white line has part and Adj rod bush but would like to get my hand on a full front and rear bushes kit as I may as well do the full car.

Nope, fronts are supposed to be 83159, rears are corect at 70191. I am working through fixing all the listings at the moment.

If you have 83139 please PM me and I will arrange for a swap.

:blink: cheers :D

so are these a standard hieght spring or a lowered one? can anyone confirm?

I have a rs260 stagea with teins in it and need to get standard stuff in it to pass over pits as well.

You sure that series 1 manual fits?

I've read some of the forums and know that r33 gtr fits the front but not rear.

How close to standard will that make it?

What will fit the rear. I only want it in for a week at most then put my old suspension back in.

If anyone has any they want to sell let me know.

Thanks

33 gtr will fit yours - its the auto's that need gtst rear struts

the valving is different so it'll handle averagely but will get you over the pits

also, manuals only came as s2's (except for the 260rs's)

manual s2 shocks will also fit

so will the r33 gtr fit the rear or what? I've got some r33 gtr front lined up but need to complete it with rear?

yes the gtr rear will fit the back of a 260rs

but it won't handle propperly

R33 GTR shocks will be fine you prob won't notice the difference, you may find an issue bolting them in though as the strut tops on r33 gtr rear shocks are wider than on stageas. you might need to find some different strut tops.

FYI I have custom modified R33 GTR Greddy Type S coilovers in my Stagea Type S and I had custom fabricated rear strut tops as the GTR ones would not fit.

I haven't read through all 41 pages of this rich thread but just wondering if anyone with a S2 manual is using S15 knuckles?

The ER34 we used in Formula Drift was using M34 front tubs (direct replacement on the ER34) custom length S15 coilovers and S15 knuckles, etc.

Has anybody bought Bilstien shocks or similar to suit their S2 Stagea recently? Needing a full set for ours!!
Here's a set - should still be a good price even with freight:

Had a chance yesterday to put the Stagea up on the hoist for half an hour and have a look around. I will post up some pictures on Monday, I left the camera in the workshop. Some things I noticed;

The front shocks look to be the same as R33 GTR, as is the rest of the front suspension

The rear shocks look to be the same as R33 GTST (eye at the bottom)

No HICAS, yahooooo

The front stabiliser bar is 22 mm hollow, like an R33 GTR.

I am fitting a 24 mm Whiteline adjustable bar (Part #BNF27XZ)

The rear bar is 19 mm and solid, like an R33 GTS

I am fitting a 22 mm Whiteline adjustable bar (Part #BNR11XZ)

The front caster bushes are the same as R33 GTR, it definitely needs mores caster (it was getting the front end wanders at 170 kph)

I am fitting some Whiteline adjustable polyurethane bushes and adding about 2 degrees positive caster (part # KCA332).

Ours sits a little rear down (maybe carried stuff in the back a lot)

Has around 2 degrees negative camber, which is more than the standard adjusters can remove

So I am fitting some adjustable Whiteline bushes in the rear upper arms (Part #KCA347).

The front looks OK for camber, should have a little negative when I lower it.

I didn't remove the shocks to check the spring rates, I will do that when I remove them to swap to the Bilsteins. The front springs look to be a similar rate to R33GTR, the rears are different though. I will machine a couple of extra circlip grooves into the Bilsteins so I can lower it just enough.

Hope that is of some help :type:

No HICAS, yahooooo ? Hi-cas was the nuts on my 32 ! WOULD LOVE IT ON MY sTAGEA c34 , even faster cornering , if you have the C34 Jap Stag then the front wheel track is 1"narrower than the rear , my understeer even on 12" rims was horrible , 2 inch apacers to the front cured it !!

Massive increase in rear sway bar to 24mm solid helps! Also have 20mm spacers (maximium legal in NZ) on front.

Hi I got Bilsteins with Eibach lowered springs for both the front & back for my Stagea a while ago from Japan (import monster).

The front part numbers are;

Front Bilstein shocks 1199 BE52590HO

Front Eibach springs 6345001

Haven't got the rear numbers handy.

I found that I had to cut the bump stops approximately in half to prevent the front shocks from bottoming out due to limited travel with the shorter springs. The springs are about 2 inches (50mm) lowered. All good now, drives much better.

I haven't fitted the back shocks and springs yet.

You might consider coil overs front and rear - I bought a set of BC coil overs from Just Jap for my manual S2 RSFour S and have found them to be excellent on the road and brilliant on the track. Obviously they are height adjustable and have 30 settings from soft to firm. They're dead easy to fit and cost less than half what you'd pay for HKS.

I didn't remove the shocks to check the spring rates, I will do that when I remove them to swap to the Bilsteins. The front springs look to be a similar rate to R33GTR, the rears are different though. I will machine a couple of extra circlip grooves into the Bilsteins so I can lower it just enough.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
