Hi there,
thanks for the info.ok will the 240k top mount fit on the 260Z strut tower.i can get
any parts for 240k here so i can get the top mounts in aussie.
what about the bottom end.will the 1600 ball bolt rite on onto the 260Z strut and the
steering rod,where the tie rod fits,are they the same.
cheers
Mohit.

The 260Z brakes are the same as Datsun 240K brakes. However the strut from
the 260Z is smaller in length. The top mount is a different design and wont
bolt straight into the 1600 strut tower. You could build and adaptor plate
to fit the 260Z struts to the top mounting location.
The Z springs are small in diameter and do make it possible to widen the
wheel rim width inwards, as well as locating the top mounts futher inward
and to the rear, giving more negative camber and caster.
The 240K struts bolt straight into the 1600 strut towers, are approximately
the right length, and hence hight in the car, (and have the same brakes as
the 260Z).

I'm informed on the OzDat forum they're R31 Skyline...makes sense since
it's bolt spacing matches older 240k struts.
Am I correct in describing the Sumitomo as double piston i.e. single
opposed one each side and is this providing better braking that the R31
with a single piston?
