do bluebird struts go into 1200's? i know a dude here who has a set, he says they will....? they are out fo a series 1 bluey

Cheers

Not to sure but I'm after a TRX diff with disc's to go in my wagon, and if the struts go in I will make that up grade as well. It will make the fitment of my 300zx wheels alot easier.

I wonder then if the Bluey struts are the same as the Pintara struts???

i got told bluey struts are very similar to the stanza struts but with bigger springs?..... i dont know how true this is, also that the bluey's came with bigger disc's?

bluebird disks : 250mm
Stanza had 4 sizes : 232, 244, 245, 253mm

converted i think they are im using the discs of pintara and calipers! but i dint check out truts that would be good if they did fit... anyone checked it out?

I doubt Bluey struts will fit as they have a kind of offset ball joint design on the lower arm. The bolt spacing is the same as 510 etc so they would bolt onto A10 or Sunny B310 steering arms but the diameter of the locating ring is bigger so you would need to make an adaprtor. The spring diameter is too big as well so the spring cups would need to be cut off and either smaller ones fitted of converted to coilovers. The hubs have a lot of outward ofset and would work best with a FWD offset kind of rim much like S12 Silvias and Gazelles use. I had S12 hubs on my 510 with Bluey callipers and changing to 280ZX hubs brought the wheels in by over and inch.

I have some bluey struts and 1200 ones which I can take a picture of in comparison if you want.

As Eddie said, the bluey struts have a different offset and also use an offset ball joint on the bsae of the steering arm to produce negative offset geometry.

To get the correct scrub radius ( distance between centre of tire and interstection of line between top of strut pivot and lower ball joint) on your rims, you need to use the bluey or skyline s12 style rims to get the contact patch in normal scrub radius territory.

If you use normal rims with this setup, they can feel shakey and a bit stiff on turns.

hey datsik do u know which year stanza's had the different sized discs?

the bigger ones more importantly?

stanza stuts you will want are on the stanzas with twin square headlights, also these ones can be recognised by their girlock calipers (says girlock across front of caliper) others have a diffrent brand smaller caliper

could be 1980+ but i could be wrong about that year
