Have you played with the search function on the forum yet?

It may yield you some answers from old suspension, shock and strut posts concerning the J30.

Welcome to NICO!!! I think you're our very first member from PEI.

I have family in the Maritimes and have driven many times through there (mostly NB and NS) and have only ever seen one other J.

yea i am haveing aa realy hard time finding parts here in the maritimes!!!! closest i got a hit for used parts was quebec and ontario!!!! thats why i want to know what i can use for after market springs!!!! i was told a 240 sx has the same suspension seet up as the j30 ut i looked at one at the junk yard and the size of the springs look fine but the front coils on a 240 have four coils the j has 5 and the rear on a 240 has 9 coils and i think my j has 8!!!!???i want springs in a bad way any help would be apriciated i was told diamond j already did this but have got no response as of yet!!!! thanks kevin in p.e.i

Your only option for suspension components for the J30 are Nissan OEM. Keep in mind the J30 is much heavier than a Nissan 240 and even a 300zx. The coils make look the same but the tension at which they are wound is diifferent. Your other option is custom, but that is more expensive.

I don't know what your proximity is to O'Regan Infiniti in Halifax. They may be cheaper to order from or the Infiniti dealer in Newfoundland (I believe they're located on Topsail Rd in St. Johns).

If somebody came out with an aftermarket strutt kit for the J30 that was good and at a realistic price they would have a goldmine ,I DESPERATLY need my struts replaced but cant afford it .900'ish for the kit .. Outrageous

[kccake]

yea i know i there was a company that would pick up the j30 as a car for some after market parts like struts,under drive pullies,sway bars,rear end gears,ect they would have a gold mine even now that the cars are around 15 yeeras old!!!! well hopefully i will find an other option i was told that this diamond j3o guy had maxima front springs and custom in the rear!!! but still no response from him and he removed his car from car domain!!!! was sent a link to it but its no longer there!!!! and yes i already talked to oreagans in halifax and they cant cross referense he tried !!!! any way hopefully someone will come forward and tell me what they did to lower there car ect!!!!

howdy sorry for the delay.ok,springs are a tuff one.mine are made local per my specs.all i can really say on that is find a local spring manufacturer.places that service big trucks for springs and such.the company thta did mine mostly does big truck work.gitts spring in kent wa.i wouldnt mail away for custom springs.j30's a *****.well at least with super strong springs cause they are way shorter'i dont need a spring compressor to take mine out.lol.mine are 2.25 in front and 1.50 in back to set on the tires.i got two fingers clearance above tire.and rarely tap it.unfortunatly quickor suspension closed up shop.thats were i had the sway bars made.i let them barrow my bars to make for others and they kept them.drag,or id send anywhere for you guys to use as protos.a good sway bar maufacturer takes a day if you bring your car to them.wish i knew anyther one but i dont get out to ask questions now.darn.struts bars.i know nothing about.i use nissan sport rear gears,436.to do that i went to the place the dealership farms the work out to.told them what i wanted.they got back and said nissan sport has them.i forgot what it cost.between 1200-1,4,omething like that.i got new bearings and everything.they take them and put back together a few times to make sure nice.puts the car over ten mph.pretty much climb anything without it downshifting.better mileage.turns about 2750 rpm at 60.been awhile i forget,lol.close.for struts i use koni yellows up front for a 96 maxima.man i wish i could find the part numbers.i so confused now days.bigtime.for the back i use custom made koni's.spendy.well as you can see.takes some dilagence to mod this car.lots of hair pulling.wish i had an easy answer for you.but thats how i went about doing mine.easir just to cut the spring and keep oem struts just for the look.probly take out some body roll too.be alittle stiffer.problem is having a tuff spring.they will have thier way with the struts.bouncy bigtime.my 58 belair been rolling on hella cut springs for over 20 years.was bouncy till they came out with gas drop shocks.lol.its like if you want to do it right for awsome handling and stuff its going to be a chore forsure.for a cruiser poser id just cut them.i dont know where to cut infiniti's,just chebys,lol.sorry i took my car down off site.i was depressed looking at it.lol.i focus my attention on my 58 now.between being sick and my infiniti i was drowning in depresion evryday every year.figured i need to have happy thoughts.so far so good.much easier to be around now.got to get it started so my grandson will have it for later.been ordering sheet metal.hehe.im off to ebay,later and good luck buddy.diamond
