You can check the fuel pressure by getting a fuel pressure gauge and hooking it up between the fuel filter and the fuel rail.

As far as the rear suspension goes for us, we're supposed to be different from the coupe/fastback. In reality, it doesn't matter. So say you're buying new struts for the rear, just buy what you can find. I have had a set of KYB AGXs on my car for nearly 3 years now and have not had any issues.

Nissan has different part numbers for the struts and stuff for vert though, but I don't see much difference. You will see 'Except convertibles' in many online shop catalogs, but people say just ignore it.

if anything the stock suspension was jus a lil stiffer due to the weight being more towards the back when the tops down prolly

Vert weighs about 100lb more than coupe IIRC.

yeah but the weight will b shifted to the back more cuz the whole top is now behind the rear seat and over the rear tires no? i may b incorrect in the location of the extra hundred lbs and the weight of the top but it seems kinda heavey and would b a lil different from top up and top down
