I have about 30 sec to get stuff out before it falls unless the ground is really flat.

Mine are labelled as 'STABILUS'

Both side look identical, but the part / serial numbers are different.

Left side:

1804RD 1125N 006/03 H16

90451 A0 010

Right side: 1896RA 1125N 013/03 E16

90450 A0 010

No idea if that helps at all.

Anyone know of a way to make the glass door stay open? Several times it has come crashing down on my head...its quite painful!! Really affects the usefulness - particularly if its windy of if you're parked on a slope.

My rear door struts seem ok at the moment, but the ones that lift up the boot floor are shot.

I normally use a mob called Strut Re-Gas. They're Syd based and mobile, but I'm sure there are others. Normally around $40 per strut, amd the use nitrogen, not compressed air like some less reputable guys. Last ones I had done were still great 7 years down the track. They can also reduce the pressure in any strut to accommodate things like Carbon/fibreglass/alloy bonnets that don't need to hold a lot of weight, or increase pressure to allow for spoilers/wings that drop the bootlid on your head. I'll have a look for the number of my local guy and post it up.

Cheers, Dale

The 25G ones dont open fully, so am looking for replacements.

At Supercheap they have all sorts of struts. Amgoing there tomorrow.

Hugh if you don,t have any joy at S/cheap there is a mob on the Gold Coast who service the marine industry and they re-gas struts at a reasonable price, should be able to find them in Yellow Pages.

I had the bonnet and boot struts regassed on my C34 years ago and they are still going strong, under $200 for the lot. I did check with nissan first, they had no more boot struts and bonnet ones were about 600 a pair.

Also be careful with aftermarket replacements, nissan use unusual/non standard upper and lower mounts (ie better engineered than ford or holden's ones). Supercheap etc only cover the local stuff

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
