Hey there, it's 1inthefront here. I would like to buy my husband - 3intheback - a rear swaybar for the S2 for his 40th birthday in October.

Is the group buy still on? I cant quite afford front and rear bars, but it seems that to replace the rear is the best place to start.

Thanks for your help, this will put a big smile on his face and also to minimise the impact of hitting 40!

Absolutely, no problems, PM sent with details.

:ermm: cheers :O

hey gary, im looking at getting a set of shocks for my stagea, however the rear shockies on my s2 rs four s appear to have the fork style bottoms rather than the eye style that other stageas seem to have, can you get these aswell?

hi SK

your pm box is full.

i received the swaybars but i can't find the pineapples. i thought they might have been slipped into one of the swaybar boxes but it's definitely not there.

in addition are the sway bars supposed to come with new pin rubbers? (the D-rubbers were in the kit)

Oddly enough, my car ALSO pulls to the left!

Nothing major, but if you let go of the steering wheel, it eventually starts turning left... i presume i just need a wheel alignment?

Both you, alex, AND leshy (terminal) said your cars pull to the left??? so does mine!!! It was more than a year ago since you two posted that, have you got it sorted now???

i just received shocks and coils and the subframe al. kit from SK (thanks greg thats awesome), so will be fitting them when the car comes back from the smash repairs. Did you fix your settings? ill see how i go after having suspension fitted and re-aligned...

as mentoined in stagea discussion i just fitted sk's suspension kit, was really impressed with quality and ease of fitting[bars shocks & bushes] everything went together as it should and the end product is now a comfortable good looking super handling stagea, and no fiddling around to find rattles & squeaks. great product great VALUE, thanks again gary for all your help, leigh

I am off to Bathurst tomorrow for the 12 Hour race, the race team is running (not a Skyline) and I have to do my Team Manager thing. I will be back on Tuesday, so please excuse the slow responses to posts and PM's.

:pirate: cheers :ph34r:

Gary,

When installing the whiteline rear springs - i had to go to the third highest circplip groove on the strut before the spring would even touch the top hat. Is this normal? ie I had to go to the second highest circlip groove to get a better height.

Adrian

think about it

when you only have preload adjustment (which is essentially what it is)

if you want to lower the car, you have to move the spring lower since you dont have a threaded shock body to screw down, and not effect the spring tension.

so yes, it would make sense that it happens...adn will also damage your shocks over time due to reduced stroke travel, they have hte possiblilty to heat up too much from the short strokes.....

After racing dirt bikes for a few years know - i know a bit about suspension setup. Just wanted to know if others had the same setup with the kit. As you can see i from the pic i added to signiture i was going for a standard just lower than standard height setup as i will be towing bikes etc.

Does someone know of a replacement tie rod end to suit the Stagea S1. Think i read elsewhere that some one had used a s14 equivalent. is this true or am i best ordering one thru nissan?? When putting the suspesion in i found one tie rod end with some play (102000km) . Would like to replace this before taking it for a wheel alignment.

Thanks in Advance,

Adrian

the rear uses all s14 rods, diff, adn subframe bushings (if you want the metal ones liek i have)

front uses skyline and s14 stuff...skyline gtr front sway, s14 everything else

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
