Parts for your 2003 Nissan Pulsar-Gas struts

2003 Nissan Pulsar gas struts — what they do and when to change them

Technical sources confirm gas struts are indeed used on the 2003 Nissan Pulsar hatch (N16). The Nissan N16 factory service manual’s body section specifies gas-charged “back door stays” for the hatch, while showing a simple prop rod for the bonnet. The Nissan FAST electronic parts catalogue lists a “Stay Assy—Back Door” for the N16 hatch, and major catalogues (e.g., Monroe Max-Lift and Stabilus Lift-O-Mat) carry rear hatch lift supports for 2000–2005 Pulsar/Almera hatchbacks.
