Stagea Suspension

[andy65b]

I had a kit made for my NM35 by Sydney Kit under the Selby brand.

There is a whole thread on the install.

Basically the rear is the same as a 350z.

Only downside is I am not sure Sydneykid is still running Selby and I am not sure if anyone is making the bar.

Cheers

no unfortunately Gary is no longer running the business (too much time helping on here probably lol), not sure who is now but Selby can probably still be contacted in Minto.

Does anybody know the part number for bilstein shocks that go into the front of a S2 stagea RWD. And which model nissan match these shocks..Thanks for any help

This is an email response I got from NZ when I was looking for front shocks for my rwd s2, I found someone in Brizzy who will order them in for me. So I'm gonna do that as soon as I get my tax back

Hello,

Yes bilsteins are a excellent shock absorber, I just spoke with my product manager and he said try contacting Sydney shock absorbers as they also deal with Bilstein.

The part number to quote them will be BE5-2590

Could save a lot of hassle, time and money if you deal with them, if you have no luck with them then by all means contact me and let me know how you get on and I will try my best to help you out

Regards,

Shane Cooper

Thanks dude, Its been hard to find bilsteins for the front, bilstein in melbourne wanted the shocks off the car cause they dont know why the 4WD dont fit...

Selby website still have M35 and C34 swaybars listed...

Search for Nissan Stagea

AUD 250+GST for each end for us M35s...

a whole heap of choices for the C34 guys..

Would the M35 units be the same as what Andy has on his car? And are they suitable for ARX and other M35 versions..

[zei20l]

$563.20 delivered in NSW for an M35 set...... Oh so tempting.........

[iamhe77]

hmm. That is $150 more than what Sk offered delivered to Melbourne.

Yes they are. He used my OEM ones to make the Selby ones. Yes, suitable for the ARX

Do it!! You won't regret the decission.

I did them before I did the shocks and it made a huge difference to the handling.

Yes, I think that will be my first proper mod, as the return on investment seems excellent. Just have to put it off for a while as I still have the unexpected Goodyear Eagle F1's to pay for this month, and I need to get the iPod kit ordered from the US and installed.

Reckon I can get these sway bars fitted myself, with the help of a set of body stands and a jack.

SK's instructions look good and clear.

So get the tyres paid for, tunes sorted, handling fixed... Then we can think about more powa... Maybe CES will be up to speed on M35 dumps by then...

hey every 1 i was wondering if i could get some advice on good springs for lowering my car, i hav an r34 skyline sedan with kyb adjustable shocks. i see places around advertising $400 to get your car lowered with king springs, is that the best way to go?

cheers

Here is a link for the Teins (sample picture below) - you should be able to obtain these locally or you could buy from TradeMe:

I've just put Bilsteins in my RS4 Stagea, got them through Car Torque here in Adelaide for a very good price, also did swaybars, still waiting on the rear to come in. Dave at Car Torque is getting some sway bars made up for the rear of the Stagea at the moment, people use the whiteline ones but the links don't sit strait and sometimes the bars don't bolt on at all. That's the problem I had.

Some notes about the shocks etc.

The shocks I used were R32 GTR fronts, R33gtst Rears

The front's come with 2 circlip grooves, the rears have only 1.

Using the heighest circlip grove on the front makes the spring seat sit approx 24mm lower than standard, the second groove is another 10mm lower again.

The rear springseat sits approx 10mm lower than standard.

Using the standard grooves, heighest on the front, the car will sit nicely but a little higher than ideal with the standard springs.

Machining one extra groove 10mm lower on the rear shock and using the lower groove on the front will have to car sitting at a better height, guard heights or 360mm front, 355 rear (approx, calculated)

I was going to engineer a set of springs to get the ride height spot on without any machining but I found that I already had lowered Tein items in there so I machined circlip grooves to suit.

That'll be me who's getting those rear bars made up by Car Torque.

See:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4621964

For all the details.

FWIW, as supplied, Nismo Bilsteins look to have circlip grooves at the stock height, and lower already.

I can still get all the Stage suspension bits, except springs, Redranger in their infinite wisdom have discontinued Whiteline springs.

welcome back!

any chance of some current prices?

An update on the C34 Stagea rear bars I've had made:

The fixed one fits perfectly - slips straight over the link rods, no angularity issues.

22mm fixed - $238

22mm adjustable - $270

Speak to Car Torque Products in Adelaide for availability, I think they have had about 3 of each made by Selbys.

I've just fitted the adjustable version to my S1 RS4. It fits like factory.

Next on the list of things to do is to modify the front whiteline bar with some retainers to stop it slipping side to side.

Good stuff, that's what I like to hear.
