ozzinc Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Hello I would like to know if a 72 datsun 240z has the same strut dia as a datsun 510, im refering to the front strut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 I would say "Yes", as they tube is the same, the difference is in the spring perch, spindle angle and spindle size (bigger wheel bearings). Not sure about length, but I'd say that the tube diameter is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHale_510 Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yes. 280Z struts are fatter. Shortened 510 struts with early Z inserts works, but MR2 or Rabbit inserts are shorter if that's what you are doing. 280ZX inserts are the right length for "short" '68/'69 length 510 struts, need to be shimmed for later 510 long struts. 280ZX struts with 510 or race spring perches are a popular and easy 510 upgrade. 240Z stuff is not because it has too many differences.
