Hi guys, http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/23-4186 My 240z is lowered and has 15" wheels, does this bumpsteer spacer from MSA really make a difference in the way the car handles? Just putting together an order from MSA for other resto parts and noticed these. Thanks, Chris

Hello, I have what I believe to be a set of 1970s Nissan Motorsport coilovers. I am requesting scans of documents, pictures, and information of this suspension set up. Here are some of my pictures. Any help appreciated. Thank you, Darren

The box was labeled "240Z". They are blue, they are tagged F&R, their height is right for 240Z springs....what are they? They were found in a Datsun parts hoarde last weekend. I'm going back for more this Saturday. These springs have been stashed for quite a long time, they appear to be unused. The color suggests Tokico. I think a couple of older brands were "Turn Six" or "Dave Cook" that also were possibly blue. Are ther any more "seasoned" Z officianados out there who could wager a guess? Thanks

Came across these when parting out a 1973 240z. They are bilstein cartridges for the rear. Part # on the cartridge are: 062-0700 and 062-0701. Wondering what they're worth?

"Originally Posted by Zedrally The original struts didn't have "inserts". The FSM gives instructions on rebuilding them, but to my knowledge no one ever did, rather replacing them with after market inserts. For histories sake, if you have the part numbers or photo's of these factory parts or boxes, please post them" It was requested that I, "for histories sake" post pictures and other documentation that these were offered. NOS Factory Shock inserts, Part numbers 56205-E4125 & 56205-N3785.

I am working on the front suspension of my '72 240z. The car came with yellow King lowering springs already on it and I would like to keep them for now. It also had KYB GR2's on it that are now shot, no telling how long they have been on the car. I have seen threads of guys talking about good and bad luck with running KYB's and lowering springs. Have KYB's gotten better at handling lowered cars? I know Tokico Blues and Illumina's are a top choice but are out of my budget at the moment. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Working on replacing the front struts on my 72z, which i am assuming haven't been replaced in 40 years because the darn struts are stuck in the housings. I have taken off the wheel mount and have been banging away and attempting to twist the strut free of the housing via opposing pipe wrenches. any success with this sort of situation???????

Hey all. This is gonna get me back to working on the z after a long hiatus. I have the whole front suspension off. Painstakingly wire brushed and por15. Got an ES poly master bushing kit and adjustable illumina struts. Was a lot of hard work but fun. Now getting ready to reassemble. I had all my fasteners nicely labeled in bags. Around the time I started I was given a pup. I guess he saw how much fun I was having that he wanted to help. Got home to find him inside the fastener box with the lawn covered with torn bags and scattered fasteners. That stopped everything, I thought it was the end. I recovered what I could. I was surprised to see zinc on most of them even after…

Hi, before I purchase some Suspension Techniques springs I just had 2 quick questions, although I haven't seen any bad reviews, what are people's experiences with these? And my primary question is most state these are linear which I want, but I came across a mention that the newer ones are progressive? Is this true or just misinformation? Thanks!

Happy day. My 78' Zmobile was fitted with 16" Konig Silver Rewinds and Cooper RS3's today, but......... The guys at Tire Kingdom tell me that my rack "has some play", and the steering wheel will arc back and forth approx 3" each way before I feel the tires grab and start to turn. My mechanic has told me that new urethane bushings will help a lot to tighten things up and I don't mind spending the bucks for that. Do you think that will do the trick or I looking at a total rack and pinion replacement ? It is a one owner car.........me, and has 105,000 miles on it. No abuse, but I have not ever had to do anything with the steering section. Is my lucky streak over? I rem…
