Daza67 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Does anyone have any decent front shock inserts to suit a 260Z for sale? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilltech Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Be sure to check the length you need - early 260Zs use the taller front strut a la 240Z, whereas later ones - probably most - have the shorter strut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daza67 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Thanks mate, it’s a 1976 2+2 with 55mm struts, there’s a lot of conflicting info on the net about which to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Quote there’s a lot of conflicting info on the net about which to use. Very true. From what I've found many suppliers are unaware of the variations across the S30 models. What they offer for a 260Z may suit a 2+2 but not a 2-seater, or an earlier car but not a later one, or vice versa, etc. C.A.R. is sure to know what you need and what's currently available and of what quality. What is in your front struts currently, still the original shocks or a pair of ageing strut inserts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daza67 Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 Yes I’ll definitely be ringing C.A.R. for some expert help. The current inserts are unlabelled other than made in USA and are a dark green colour, I’m guessing they are Gabriel. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krizza Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 For the record I replaced both front and rear struts in my 75 2+2 with 55mm front struts with KYB ExcelG inserts and here are the part numbers I used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
