Are they The same as RS4's.Cannot find a post about the RS(2wd) struts.Can any one help?

No, the fronts aren't the same, the rears are though.

The 4wd uprights have the shocks mounts higher up, to clear the front driveshafts. So the shock bodies are shorter.

Plus the front spring rates are higher to handle the extra 180 kgs in the 4wd's.

The Stagea section is always better for Stagea specific questions.

The sticky "Stagea Suspension" answers most suspension questions.

Cheers

Are the stagea 2WD front & back struts the same as R33's then.

Like R32/33/34's Stageas don't have struts, they are double wishbone. So they have spring/shock units in a coil over layout.

Shock wise, the same dimensions yes, but same valving no.

Spring wise, same dimensions on the front and similar rate. The rear has totally different dimensions and the spring rate is different.

Cheers

So if I got a pair of R33gtst coilovers for front

They will fit OK.

S15 coilovers for the back with harder spring rates

Nope they won't fit, the S14/15 rear springs are the same dimensions as the R33's. The Stagea springs and tops are different, smaller, to make the load space larger.

Gary does the Stagea RS 2WD have the same sway bars as the RS4??

Nope

If you are serious about getting your Stagea to handle without destroying the ride comfort I suggest you try the Group Buy thread in the Stagea section, it has lots of responses from Stagea owners.

Cheers

Do you recommend the same swaybar sizes for the 2wd and camber,caster settings.Gary never seen the circlip idea, how does it work?...If I ring white line would they know the part numbers for the 2WD cause they would be different to whats on the thread..Is the group buy with a certain dealer we only have agents in S.A,and sorry to be a pain do you have there details?

Gary have you heard anything about ISC coilovers. They are used in drift cars in the Australian circuit.

Do a search on here mate, there's lots of reports...

You'll also read what people do with them once they replace them.

No the 2wd swaybars are different diameters to the 4wd bars and different shapes. Plus the Group Buy bars are unique to Jamex (they paid for the enginering), they are often in unique sizes and have extra adjustment. We don't make them for anyone else, the swaybars we make for Whiteline are their standard catalogue line. Bars ordered today are shipped tomorrow, orders over $500 are freight free to anywhere in Australia. PM me for further details.

The Group Buy Bilsteins have additional circlip grooves added (they have 2 grooves standard) so you can set the height you want before you fit them. There are 6 grooves 8 mm apart and I can tell you the height that you will get from each groove.

      R34 Headlight lense replacement

      Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
