on the left is standard in the middle is the section removed and last but not least is the shortened strut with the nissan pulsar inserts  .... please note u will need to remove at least 2 and a half coils from standard spring and use the original tube nuts because pulsar have a diffrent thread also u will need to file out the top hole approx 2 mm bigger to let the larger shaft through and your good to go with  175/60 13 on 6 inch rims it should sit about 20mm out of the gaurd not a bad ride hight at all ..

why don't you try getting sunny or stanza strut tops to use,instead of modifying the standard ones.they come with a larger hole
for the bigger shaft,& larger studs in the top,so all i had to do was drill the holes in the top of the strut tower out slightly.

i have done that for my other ute i am running 240k struts with shorter inserts but these are on my 1993 lwb ute and i didnt have the heart to swop em besides they have great brakes and i have all my own gear to do it only took me 2 hours ,out ,mods and back in and the inserts where cheaper then standard 1200 ones go figure

That would be the hole in the strut top.

I think he means filing 2mm out of the hole in the large nut on top of the strut tube that the long shiny bit you can see there passes through.
