hi all, currently rebuilding my front strut setup and have some queries for those that have done these conversions before.
start with what i've got-
shortened stanza strut with a koni sport insert. coilover thread platform with home machined lock/spring mounts. coil over spring and vb commodore adjustable strut tops. This was pre setup before i bought the car but the struts fell out of the towers when i was replacing the steering so time to replace.
started out just going to replace the tops with new nolethane tops(already got them) but realised the inserts were shagged. so i went to pull the insert from 1 strut but no go, super tight!
(had to cut 1 in half to get the insert out) i now have 2x200b struts to make fit. my questionis if using the coilover setup the insert should have enough throw left to support the spring at the lowest point without bottoming out, and wen fully raised on the coilover thread should not compress the spring...to much?
That would make sense to me but then im no suspension expert. what height should the struts be to fit nicely? my modified setup is 560mm. in theory i could raise it up but the strut insert is fully extended and the platform is at the bottom..

for 130 plus freight i'll take a mild steel one. pm me with the details. cheers

i wouldn't mind one too, given they clear the sr. keep me posted

pretty sure its a r31 tank, they use an internal efi pump so you can stick a high flow in them where the std one goes, also eliminates the suger tank issue as they have a swirl pot/baffle in built. bigger capacity, 65litres i think. a few guys on here have prob done it have a search around. check out the forums.

bosch 044 is prob the go but if its not going to be too serious i'd go with the vl turbo 070 pump after the surge tank, i'm using a carter black pump as a pre pump. you could do the skyline fuel tank upgrade tho?? i'd do that in a ute.

It was an abitious project by last owner, full rollcage, removed center of firewall, part brake upgrade/conversion(gemini disks unfinished)has a standard diff sitting in it but a commodore 28spline has been cut down for it, (prob sell it seperate). if anyone intersted let me know. body pretty sound other than the firewall chop,front apron cut for the old i/cooler. stripped interior. someone needs to drag this 630kg thing!!
I'll work on the photos
cheers
