Nobody makes aftermarket shocks for a J3O. you're stuck with OEM only. Try our sponsor:

Tell them you're a NICO member.

You can also do the diy setup that swimshark has done. Check in on his thread. That's what l am currently doing. S13 coilovers,s14 abs spindles, s14 tierods, S14 endlinks, and evo 8 camber plates. S14 lca aswell.

The coilover route is definitely an awesome one, but for a decent set of coilovers, camber plates, and a set of 5 lug 240sx knuckles with abs, you will be into it for upwards of $1000. If you saw my post awhile back you would have seen that I did my entire car for less than what you will pay for one oem strut. If you are willing to pay the shipping, I am more than happy to make you all the spacers necessary to fit the 300zx strut inserts since I have all the necessary parts sitting on the side of my house right now.

I have only replaced the rears w/240 struts.
I'll dig up the old thread that shows how to fab the front end struts.

I need a set to do my car. PM me please. Or if you could give me the specs on how to do it , a local mod shop that specializes in Nissan & Infiniti will do it. I would love to be able to run 300ZX struts in the front.

What year 240ZX struts do I need to get for the rear? Also, it is an exact bolt on swap with no mods?

Do you know what thread you mentioned about the fab for the front end struts?

================

Never mind I see all the threads on the struts now.

By the way the 1984 Nissan Maxima also uses the same rear strut as the 1981 280ZX.
