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

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
