Zs-ondabrain Posted January 16, 2005 Share #2 Posted January 16, 2005 I just bought 4 Tokico Gas Struts (HZ 3012) Front Cartridges and (HZ 3013) Rear Cartridges & need for someone to tell me if they would fit on my 01/74 260 Z. StaceyStacey, Stacey, Stacey, Did'nt we have this conversation before? I believe they will fit but you shold have went with the KYB's but tokico will work.I think they are supposed to be HZ3015 (front) and HZ3016 (rear) for the early 260Z's http://www.morepowerracing.com/product.asp?numPageStartPosition=1&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&strSearchCriteria=&PT_ID=1319&P_ID=2666&btnProduct=More+Detailsand HZ3012 & 13 for late 260Z's http://www.morepowerracing.com/product.asp?numPageStartPosition=1&strPageHistory=cat&strKeywords=&strSearchCriteria=&PT_ID=1323&P_ID=2667&btnProduct=More+Details but I could be wrong Dave in Marysville, Wolfin32Z Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14664-re-struts-for-stacey/#findComment-108789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
calliebrat Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share #3 Posted January 16, 2005 Dave, Dave, Dave....Yes- I vaguely remember that conversation.Just changed the distributor, cap, rotor, ignition switch wiring, upped her temp... She wasn't getting hot enough. Changed the 2nd differential mount. NOW I'm doing 75- 80 mph. in 3rd. & getting better gas mileage. How are you & Baby?

Zs-ondabrain Posted January 16, 2005 Share #4 Posted January 16, 2005 Stacey,Did you check the links? They should tell you what you need to know. But don't look at the pictures on sites like that one, they are rarely the item that they are describing. More of a brand style picture than actual product.Dave.

Zs-ondabrain Posted January 17, 2005 Share #8 Posted January 17, 2005 Be nice Carl, At least she put a decent set of Tokico's on the 280Z. I did suggest the KYB's and mentioned that the Tokico's were not that bad. But she made up her mind on the monroes cause they are an "affordable" item at this point in time.I'm sure that when she can afford them, she'll get another set of Tokico's or KYB's for the 260Z and then she'll know the difference in the ride quality. I quess it's like they say "How can you know good, if you've never experianced bad" author unknown.Dave.

Bambikiller240 Posted January 17, 2005 Share #9 Posted January 17, 2005 I quess it's like they say "How can you know good, if you've never experianced bad" author unknown.Dave.That is true. Being able to compare the 280Z Tokico ride to the 260Z Monroe ride should ilustrate that statement quite well.
