Datsun 260z shock absorbers

Post by 1200 Koozer »

Hi guys have been to bnt and been given the wrong shock inserts for my 260z. Im just wanting a standard replacement shock. Can anyone confirm they have used a kyb 361002 front and kyb 361003 rear shock??

The KYB catalogue confirms those part numbers, what's the issue?

Front or rear? Rear vary depending on if it is coupe or a Station Wagon. Coupe ones are shorter.

no no oil in with the fronts, the fronts are a sealed unit requiring no extra oil
