Thanks dd, if only I was in the states. They wont ship shocks outside the US as they can be sent normal freight, due to the pressurised gas.

However can get stock shocks through nissan
56210-H1825 Much easier when you enquire with part number. But $290 each and 4 - 6 weeks wait as ex Japan.

Repco have their own option at $249 for pair.

Yet to try Koni

But might ring Pedders for some more info on there option.

Cheers

Yikes they charge a lot. Nissan USA only $65 each.

For $250 I would expect fully adjustable.

I have been running the non-gas Kpni adjustable shocks............don't remember what series but they are the bottom and twist to adjust type. They must be over 20 years old and are rebuildable, I've been very happy with them. And as they are non pressurized shipping them won't be an issue regardless of where in the world you find them.

I have a pair of low mileage (kilometreage?) red konis sitting in my shed. They did about 5,000 km after I fitted them new to my 1200 coupe. The coupe is long gone and I don't anticipate getting another one (got an SR20 Sunny coupe now )If you're interested, I'd want $250.00 for the pair and I reckon they might be a better bet than a pair of Repco shocks.

Take a measurement on your existing shocks of(overall length)full bump and full rebound,also what each mounting end looks like.Take this info to Pedders(convenient)and have them go through there computer comparing your numbers to what they have and for what vehicle.You can then make an informed decision based on the vehicle there from with regard to hard/soft/sporty etc.
I don't believe anyone makes a crappy shock these days for road use it's more about how many thousands of K's they will last for.

I am a big fan of Konis mate.

Pull a shock off and drop down to your favourite suspension shop. They will be able to compare them to what's available and find you the right option.
