Okay so I've been looking everywhere & can't find anything anywhere about 300c rear shock absorbers :confused:

Does anyone know if you can use another models or not? They're really starting to scare me D:

Welcome to NICO!! I can't say I've ever heard of the Nissan 300C, I don't think that was ever offered in the USA so you'll be digging deep to find info here on that. It certainly looks pretty similar to those year Maxima.

Ooooh, I like it!

Styling certainly looks very 810/Maxima, but being a Y-chassis it's probably a lot bigger (and it looks it, too). I notice it's 5-lug where the Max was 4. But considering how Nissan's platform design was back then, I wouldn't be too shocked if at least some 280zx or Maxima suspension components fit.

What's under the hood of that thing? L24?

If it has the Y chassis, it's probably a European export of the Cedric/Gloria.

You can probably source shocks from several sites in Japan by looking for Cedric/Gloria parts.
