New Zealand Datsun Club

As per the subject line.

After a pair of 240z rear lower control arm spindle pin locking cotter pins. 55565-E4100

Probably no one has any as I don't think any other Datsun model uses these but the 510 guys might so worth a bash.

Cockram say $40 each and 6 weeks. Courtesy Nissan say $16 each plus $10 USPS.

If nothing here, shout out if you want some of these as may as well bring a few sets in.

Cheers and Merry Christmas

James

You should be able to get it machined...

Yeah but by the time you pay for that, the get them plated, much easier and more than likely cheaper getting them in for that money.

I'll take a set James, can you still get the pins that these cotter pins lock in place that the bushes go on? I could be interested in them too.

Yes you can still get the spindle pins.

I can tell you that getting your old ones out is a major. While your at it you may as well replace the bushes which normally require burning out, then attacking with a hacksaw to remove the outer shell. Probably the worst job on a S30.

Pressing them out is impossible.

What year is yours?

Found this.

But not from Courtesy Nissan but Motorsportauto in LA. MSA tend to buy from Courtesy from what I gather. I'll flick Courtesy an email re spindle pins.

Spindle pins are 55540-N3701

Courtesy Nissan came back with $22.34 per spindle pin, but made a mistake with the original shipping cost. They won't ship via USPS so the cost is now $75 just for shipping. All in US$.

You may also have seen my post on ZClub. Mike is checking his shed for lock pins so I may not be bringing these in yet as the shipping cost is madness.

If Mike can't find his, I'll see if I can ask a mate in Colorado if he can sort something to ease the pain.

Let us know how much will it be in nz$ for the kit.
Cheers

Do they ship free within US? I have a mate heading over to Carolina for Christmas.

the cotter pin bolts, get the measurements and look on ebay for vintage bicycle crank cotter pins, its what i did for the 620 king pin wishbone ones,i picked them up for a couple dollars and 5 shipping
