Hi guys, Im looking at getting a set of coilovers for my series 2 WC34 stagea RSfour
How do I know whether I have the forked or eyelet rear suspension?

I have the AWD tiptronic 4 gear auto which makes it the RS four V? making it the eyelet rear suspenion?

Thanks heaps for any help!

hey guys a fellow stagea member is selling his coilovers from a 99 s2 AWD factory manual..

i have a 97 series 1 auto awd.... any chance the coilovers would fit? they are HKS hipersport 3's.

from what i am reading factory manual suspension isn't compatible?

I wouldnt know what I was looking at mate.

Is there no way to know based off model type?

Then Google image search the difference so you can see it yourself.

It is a big easy to spot difference

You could go by model. And that would probably work.

Bit to be 100% sure you need to look for yourself.

Who says that something hasn't been changed in the past for some strange reason.

I have been going through this thread for the last few days and can't seem to find the answer. I know it would be here somewhere but I obviously can't see it. I have a 99 RS4S and the front shocks are rooted. I can't seem to find part numbers or brand choices for the RS4S. Any help would be great cause the shops up here in Townsville only seem to want to help if I can get them the part numbers to save them doing a search or calling around for me. Need help as soon as possible cause I need to get this problem sorted. Just need part numbers/ Brands for shocks if possible. Yes I have tried searching and I am having no luck. Thanks.

Hmm, I have the 260rs stagea, with hicas, the guy at the import parts place says the r33gtr coilovers bolt right in to this car... Any truth to this? It's scheduled to be done in about 10 days.. If I need to rush other parts.. Hope I have enough time.

The front should be fine, but the rears are different and you'll also need to account for the extra ~300kgs a Stagea has over a Skyline.

Ring JustJap and get a set of BC's or similar. Once you tell them it's a 260RS, they'll tell you what's available and if they have other options.

Hey fellas trawled the thread but just confirming, I'm after rear shocks for my 97 rs4. Just standard shocks not looking to go coil overs, I see r33 rear shocks fit but are not really recommended. Are there any stagea specific replacement rear shocks about? I'm having no luck!

Cheers

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
