quickdraw Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I'm looking for either a full set or illiuminas for the 280z or a front pair (bz3012) and a pair of the 280z rear glan nut and spacers. Alternately, I may go coilover since the tokico line is hard to come by. So, if anyone as a set of coilovers laying around they're not using let's talk.

NewZed Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Somebody seems to think that they can get them - http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=10&_nkw=tokico+%2B+%283015%2C+3016%2C+3012%2C+3013%2C+3038%29&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=m194&ssPageName=ADME:SS:SS:US:1150 eBay just popped out this notification a few days a go. Get the 3013 and don't use the spacer for the front. Edited September 25, 2014 by NewZed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neotech84 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 If you do end up with an extra space let me know! Otherwise I will be fabing my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

datASSun Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I've got tokico illumina's on my car and couldn't be any happier with them. Those struts with suspension tech springs (again hard to come by) make a great combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickdraw Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 You do know that you still need shocks when you buy "coilovers." Embarrassingly, I'm a little fuzzy on this. I spoke with Mckinney today about their megan setup and he indicated it came with cartridges. I assume by your comment that this is not always the case?

Get the 3013 and don't use the spacer for the front. Weird. I spoke with wholesaler today who indicated these were on backorder through January. He didn't believe any retailers had them in stock. The few I spoke to confirmed as much. I talked to the ebay seller and they swear that they have them in stock...we'll see. Thanks for the heads up. I'm rocking a pair of the 240z bz3016 which is how I arrived at the WTB ad. I was attempting to determine if the bz3016 would work on the 280z (link) which apparently it will with the 280z spacer and glan nut. But If I buy the 3013 that get's me the spacer I need but I think that means I'm still short the glan nut. Right? Any recommendations on tracking down the 280z glan nut?

johnc Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Coilover refers to a suspension setup where the coil spring encircles a shock or strut tube and the lower spring perch is part of the shock or strut tube. Technically its just the spring and the upper and lower spring perches. JDM marketing now sometimes uses the term to describe a parts package that also includes the shock or a fully assembled strut/shock combination or just the spring and perches. Make sure you know what you're buying. Take your stock gland nut and slip it over the 3016. If it fits over the shaft, does not rub on the shaft, and seats squarely on the shock body you can probably use it in place of the Tokico specific gland nut. You can make a spacer out of an 1.5" OD length of tube of pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismosilvia Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 If you have a welder you can make a coil over easily and use any strut or shock you want. Ground control and eibach is a good way to go matched with tokicos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
