I don't know of anyone else using these struts in their 1200

As you can see, I'm not alone

Taking about availability of Datsun parts not only in Belgium but in nearly hole Europe, it is = 0
All Datsun and Toyotas have been sold to Africa regardless of rust, engine damage, missing parts. Africa took it all.
Only way to get a Datsun is buy one where they are still running for exemple PORTUGAL. You can compare it a bit to California, US. Much sun, few humidity, no salt against snow. Even better are cars from the isle of Madeira. That is were I bought my 2 B110 2door and 1 510 4door.

So if you need much parts for a conversion/swap you take it from another cars you bought before or you just buy a new ones.

You're right I had 910 still as NOS in my warehouse.

move the cup 5-10mm up the strut further, to provide some spring preload...see where the ride height has settled. If it's ok, remove the struts and complete the welds


This Is a fine description of what I was worried about. If the ride height is not good, if I have to lower the car a bit more.....what happens to my spring?....not enough preload! As I will work with height ajustable spring perches Open in new window

I could use a helper spring to give enough preload at full suspension travel. But before using a helper, you have to choose the right main spring. That is what all this topic is about.

And don't forget I will use a SR20DET, so a 1200 aftermarket sport spring will compress to much under the more weight of the SR20DET. At least that is what I suppose.
Butr at least I know now that I have to start with 240Z shocks.
It seems that Tokico Illuminas are preferable to the Koni's as I read on the 510 mailing list.
Thanks to all,
Chris
To all 910 strut user keep the forum updated about your experience
