Go to a motorbike shop.  Its motor bike "fork" oil that is used in front forks of motorbikes.  Should cost about 15 bucks for 1L which is heaps to replace the oil in the shocks at the moment.   Just make sure the O-ring on the damping unit is in good nick when you pull it apart or they will leak after you reassemble them which is downright dangerous.

Ben,
 
You can overhaul Nissan wet shocks with motor cycle fork oil. 10w is soft, 20w is medium, 30w and you're racing. You need around 325cc for a 11.5 shock, a bit less for a 10" shock.
 
regards
Terry
