1984 300ZX 50th AE shocks

[Zygy]

Hey everyone,

I am looking for replacement shocks for the front and rear of my car.
these shock absorbers are adjustable from the inside of the cab, and I am looking for new ones, or somewhere that would rebuild the old ones.

If anyone has any info, please share, hoping to get this repaired by spring time.

I have had experience with this problem. Nissan has deleted the O.E. shocks. Here's how to fix this. You need to purchase or get good used NA suspension tops. The adjustable shocks have a diameter of apporx 3/4 inch and the aftermarket only makes shocks for approx 1/2 inch. Your upper spring plates have the larger hole so the after market shocks will fall right through. So you need to buy the NA stuff and then you can get a wide range of shocks that will work. If you need some more info just call me @ 519-756-7499 and ask for Rick.

I had the same issue with my 86 Turbo.
Tire Rack to the rescue with their KYB Conversion kit.
Installed it with KYB shocks and it rode nice and night.

The conversion kits placement says rear, I hope it's for the front I ran into the same problem this weekend
