i have a 1200 sedan and I went to the local scrap yard and after seeing an online ad for some custom bits from a "old school jdm ride" what i found that interested me was this pair of front struts and brakes.. the guy says they came off a datsun 510 and can work on 120y's and 910 etc and should work on my 1200 sedan.

they are JIC Magic Coilovers
They have the ball joint mount and steering knuckle welded onto the strut housing (not shown in these photos unfortunately)
they have pillow ball adjustable camber plates..

I got the guy to agree to swap them to S13 4 lugs for me if i decide to buy them - so thats taken care of


I was wondering what was the mount on the top of the strut tube? its not the brake line mounts, it has some metal rods bolted to it.. i cant picture what they are for

I think i can easily cut them off, cause i think it will hit the body when the strut turns - what do you think??

just put 5 lug on your rear end and have more variety of wheel choices if the
5 lug pattern is the same as a chev or ford one.
You can either use rear billet plates conversion or just change the flanges
by a diff place by redrilling and tapping.
Whats the price for that candy? in US by your terminology but you should put a location.

thanks for the quick answer,

it looks to me like to me like it would be facing backward, so it wouldn't mount the sway bar there, but i donno..

I am going up there soon with my b110 lower control arms and front strut/hub etc and will lay them out side by side and measure the differences.

I am thinking it requires s13 lower control arms to work as the ball joint will be at different angles..

was thinking of getting S13 lower control arms and using the techno toy tuning weld on adjustable kit..

as the struts are mounted directly to the spindle, i am thinking the track may not be increased much.. well we'll see..

(the price would be the equivalent of ~$300 USD for the entire setup..)

and i'm doing all the work myself, so there is no labor cost :)

hmmm, not thinking of going 5 lug, already have my eye on some 4 lugs and have my tire shop guy hiding them in the back for me :P

(i also edited my profile, sorry i am from Trinidad and Tobago in the West Indies, we get loads of exotic JDM cars in the wreckers and scrap yards.)
