Terry, Edde, Listers
The fork oil weight used for any application depends on the orifice sizing
in the bump and rebound valves of the shock. Most Datsun/Nissan struts have
remarkably similar orifice sizes for the four cylinder sedans and sixes. The
only variation is the oil weights used . The GTS 6 cylinder struts with
electronic damping adjustment (DR30, HR31 & R32 & R33 GTS) use a 5 weight
oil and change the orifice sizes using an electric motor to rotate a central
strut shaft that changes the rebound valving in the strut base. Bump rates
can only be changed by oil weight changes or soldering the original and
redrilling the orifice.
These struts can be manually adjusted and make a good external set of
adjustable struts for varying conditions from street to race conditions. The
only problem is that the struts are gas filled and this can add a $200
charge for re-gassing if adjustments are made to the oil weights.

Eddie,
I dug up a pic or two of the 100A on the web last night - there are a few of
these floating around Aus but they're private imports. Interesting body
style but being FWD they wouldn't have sold here in the '70's as most ppl
wouldn't have a bar of it. They were called E10 and F10 and were
predecessors of what we call a Pulsar N series.
On the fork weights, stock road motor cycle oil is ~7wt, hd is ~10wt-12wt,
racing stuff is ~15wt which is what I recommend for you to use especially
for a FJ/510 as the last thing you want is a 510 that wallows like a boat.
regards
Terry

Cheers Terry,
The 100A was sold as a Cherry in Japan and here. I'd love a 120A....crazy
shape and looks like it should be mid engined. Always thought a FWD maxima
VG30 (transverse) would be cool mounted in the back of a 120A :-) There was
an ice racing Micra, might have been from Finland (not sure) I saw a while
ago that had a mid mounted transverse VG30ET which pumped out
450hp....scary!
Here's a pic of a 120A ...

in Aus or NZ at all?
