510 / 1600 STRUT CHANGE

Post by hsepwr »

Its been a while since i done my strut conversion on my 1600 and ive almost forgotten all the ins and outs of changing struts into a 1600.

I currently have 910 struts with z32 discs and 4 pot brakes but im wanting a strut to convert to coil over that will do the same job that i can either put the 910 hub setup on or that has a hub and i can bolt the z32 disc to.

im unsure if the likes of a r30 s12 280zx has the same stub as my 910 so any help would be great. I have some R30 struts and im unsure if the 910 hub will fit unless i start pulling it apart.

Cheers

I have used 280z struts on my 510 and they have a bigger stub than the factory 510 one.. Dunno about the other struts you mentioned

Craig, see Daniels coil over setup where he had struts made to slide over and weld to the cut struts you already have in the car.

Struts fresh here:

R31 struts can fit the 910 hubs using r31 inner bearing and 910 outer bearing.

I think we need to see a few photos of this Mahony Datsun 510

I have a set of 280zx struts and hubs any strut with a 19mm outer bearing will fit 910 hubs .
The 280zx hubs would let you run more dish on your wheels . im not using the 280zx struts or hubs so if your keen ??
