Anybody out there got a Nearside Rear shock absorber for sale.

Mines decided to explode so looking quite urgent......

You will need to specify Jap or UK spec - they are different ;)

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Check Nissan with the part no. I seem to remember someone claiming the import shocks were really cheap from Nissan UK as in less than £50each whereas the 2 position Europe types are about £130 each.

 

Oh and they are the same either side.

 

Willie

I know times may be hard etc but I really find it difficult to understand why people would want to buy secondhard parts that wear out so quickly, like shock absorbers (and brake disks etc)

 

Peace

You're spot-on there Andy, especialy as safety could be an issue here....

Dave

If you decide to go for a 2nd hand one let me know. I've got some for £25 each.

 

Thanks

Just to add to the Group Emptying of your wallet, I wouldn't replace only one - always do an axle at a time.

 

Dave

Get Koni adjustables instead :D

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

Dont go to Nissan. I was forced to today with same problem I paid £98=vat each!.....I was done.

15quid for a rear uk or rear jap (used) or 25quid for both.

 

I'm around M40 J4 / M25 J16.

 

I wouldn't advise replacing just one, although I have an odd set here (jap/uk)

 

Jez.

Speaking of Koni Shocks. How much are they?

Stuart,

 

Done a search on the old forum - £425 delivered was the group buy price... not sure how much now though ;)

 

HTH

 

CheerZ,

 

Andy

....and worth every penny !!!!! :D

Dave

or KYB's adjustables for less than £330 delivered from the states (inc taxes).

 

Vijay

Thanks for the replies.....

 

You've talked me into a pair so come on guys the moneys waiting.

 

Forgot to mention that the Z is a 1990/91 2+2 Jap standard suspension.

 

Would like to upgrade but a 60,000 mile service on monday has left me potless at the moment.

 

Looking for some quickly at the moment as it has exploded and left half the Iraqi oil reserve on my drive. Travel 60 miles a day so Jez or Andy please reply ASAP.

 

Sorry took so long to come back, all work and no play makes Jack a sad Z owner.......

 

Had the immobiliser unit die on my auto this week also, left stranded in park with no ignition. Nice.....

 

Does anyone know a way round releasing the gearbox to allow the recovery vehicle to pull my Z onto the higher plain..

 

Guess its been a s**t week for us both so all help with the shocks will be greatly appreciated.

If you would like them email me your address or come to pick them up.

 

Tell me if you want one or both.

 

Price will be + postage.
