Re: Struts, what fits what?

[thomas grant]

Hi Nat, R30 skyline struts with aussie model R31 rotors and calipers. I put them in my 1600 the other day everything else is standard. Only thing is, the hole at the bottom of the struts that fits over the steering arm is larger than on 1600 struts. The bolts hold the strut in place though. probably a bit weaker just relying on the bolts. I think I'll get the steering arms things (what's the proper name?) from the R31 too, and I suggest anyone else should do the same (R30 steering arms will hit/get in the way of the calipers unless you swap the struts to opposite sides so the brake calipers are in front of the axles. Oh yeah, was it you who needed 240k hubs?, complete 240k struts came off my car from the upgrade I just described. still want them? Thomas.

Nat, i know with R31 struts
in a 1200 you need bluebird control arms
to use R31 struts as they have same bolt spacing at the bottom
of strut.
