Anyone know the Nissan Part Numbers for the Bonnet Struts on a Series 2 RS Four S. My local Nissan spare parts doesn't even register the Stagea. I have tried giving them the part numbers that I can find on the current bonnet struts but they come up with nothing. My bonnet will not stay up by itself now, so I am in need of either regassing these struts or buying new.

Thanks

David

They appear to be both the same Stooge, '94 ~ 99 (A32) series.

You could do what I did;

Drive to Strut fitting place, find service guy, have cup of coffee, pay money (maybe $80) & leave. The struts I was sold were Maxima jobs according to my man.

I posted the part numbers here somewhere a few years ago admittedly but can't find post now. (See sig., it's a personal problem :wub: )

The service guy will run a tape measure over the originals for length of stroke & read off/work out the newton metres force (gas charge x piston D/d or something), swap over the original clips & you are done. That's for the fronts, bonnet. The boot lid struts were more of a challenge, I had to get them from Sons of Nippon.

Or maybe;

The nice Strut Specialist service guy might just ID your original struts for you so you can go buy them somewhere else cheaper?

I bought some maxi ones from ebay last week these ones:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-MAXIMA-BONNET-GAS-STRUTS-NEW-/231052942015?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35cbd41abf&_uhb=1

fitted perfectly and work perfectly almost identical except for the plastic casings on the end.

sweet, thanks for that

might grab those ones, as it looks like they have the metal ends on them, whereas the others i listed above don't

cheers mate

I needed to get the Cima boot redone this morning so I got a mobile guy out to regas them.

He quoted $99 front or rear to replace or regas the stagea ones as well.

So if you need fronts, go to ebay, if you need rears in Sydney

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
