Hi,
I tried searching but I didn't find anything specific. I was wondering if anyone could estimate how long it would take to replace the shocks all the way around on the Z32? i'm hoping its an easy weekend job, 1-2 days at the most.
I found the step-by-step which should save me a lot of time, and have all the right tools and the FSM
I recently changed the clutch out and didn't find that to be to hard, except for finding the damn output shaft seal. :facepalm:

I want to know how much time I'm going to need to block out for this.
thanks
Dan

I did mine for the first time on my driveway and it took me about 8 hours. I also had an impact gun to help me out.
The longest part was compressing the springs and top the shock nut, because I had new rubber top plates.

if you can do the clutch the shocks are a walk in the park!
