R31 front struts

[datsunboy]

need some R31 front struts. 100mm bolt spacing type....I think these were the turbo ones?

Japanese Assembled R31 Turbo.
The Aussie spec ones didn't come with the 100mm spacing.

yes r31 turbo ones are 100mm oz ones are 90mm jap ones have backing plates,i only got oz ones spare

[MONTY]

which ones are the ones used for the nissan 4 pot conversion is it the 89mm?

[datsunboy]

it's the 100mm version.....hence why I want these lol

Hey Dan the ones in my car are jap spec r31 struts and the others Ive got for dads car are oz spec.
I checked the spacing today and they are both the same even the part number on the side is the same on both as well Monroe (54303-j7101) 90mm spacing. I use the datsport kits to mount r32 GTR calipers im thinking about getting the brackets locally made

i scored a set of dr30 front struts a while back.
they have the same size brakes and discs etc as the r31 turbo ones.
they also had the separate disc and hub setup too so the 4 pot type disc slip straight on.

they are the 100m bolt spacing too, but the strut tubes are maybe an inch longer than the r31 turbo ones,
and run the same spring perch size as a 510/610.

came out of a non turbo FJ powered sedan. maybe another option to find some...

dont make the same mistake i did...
i got non turbo z32 4 pots, which strangely have 27mm thick discs and also have a narrower slot in the caliper, but everything else is the same.
had to buy replacement discs which retail as $220 each. lucky i had a hookup!

make sure you get 30mm thick discs and calipers. they're cheaper and easier to source!

cheers guys i couldn't quite remember which is what either way i need some struts that aren't the right spacing for the nissan ones

[datsunboy]

the 89mm (or 90mm cant remember) is the standard spacing for all the older Nissan's, it's this spacing that the Hilux 4-spot callipers will bolt on to.
100mm is for all the Nissan 4-spots
