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

    • Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?
    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
