Is it possible that the front 3bolt spring hanger is offset and has been fitted from the wrong side? My nuts are on the inside not outside like your pictures, just a thought

From the picture you have with the shackle missing and the spring mount against the chassis it appears the spring is to long. That mount should be closer to that position when the spring pack is almost flat not when it's not holding the weight of the car. It looks like if you had the shackle in and compressed the spring the shackle would actually fight against the spring when extends its length during compression.
On all my datsuns the rear shackle is almost vertical and is not far past lining up with the chassis mount and they all sit with the springs not far from flat with the weight of the car resting on them. It would be my guess that they are not the springs for that car.

Hi Guys
I pulled the Leaf and checked the verticle space between(please check the attached Sample this is not the real image ) leaf top and center bolt it is just 2mm below to 8 inches, how about that ? , if i increase that will that be a solution ? when it is fixed to the car with car weight it is almost closer to horizontal

no, increasing the camber or arch of the springs wil not fix it. Al that wil do is raise the car up higher - the spring will still be all wrong for the car. Get a pair of 120Y springs from a wrecker, or get a new main leaf made up the correct length.

These are the numbers I get measuring along the underside of the spring with the tape measure end hooked over the center bolt:
530mm center bolt to middle of front eye 650mm center bolt to middle of rear leaf eye That adds up to a bit longer than the listed spec because the tape measure is hooked over the center bolt and the tape could not be right against the spring because of the base plate. Plus the error in judging the center of the spring eyes. But it's close enough for these purposes. You can view topic.
