Re: Jacobs goon build
Ok, I got my 280ZX struts. They are a bit rusty looking, so I need to spend some time with them. But correct camber ftw.
Didnt order the T3 stuff... I asked for an invoice since Gabe said he would knock $20 off since I wouldnt be using the top hats that come with the coilovers. He never sent me an invoice. Ill call tuesday probably.
Last day at my current job is Thursday. I start the new job next Monday. I should get my final paycheck Thursday (that is ORS law) and Im not sure if I get paid for my vacation time or not (2 weeks, but its dependent on what the work handbook says), if I dont then I didnt play my cards right with requesting time off...

Re: Jacobs goon build
Because eBay coilovers come with super strong springs and to buy springs that I want is just going to put me in the ball park of just ordering from T3. I have researched coilovers for the past few years, I just can't get what I really want.

Re: Jacobs goon build
Well, since you will be doing machine work now...
Can the rest of us get the coilovers you want?

Re: Jacobs goon build

The company is totally down with their employees using the equipment for personal projects/side job.

Re: Jacobs goon build
I can thro a set in the pile, if sandblasting 4 struts is probably as easy as 2

Not sure if it will help Adam but the part numbers on the 280zx strut I have in my truck is this:
As it looks on the front of the tube:
NISSAN 54303 P9100
TOKICO 2 2 10
As it looks at the bottom of the strut on the back. On the casting part where the tie rod bolts below the tube:
113-2 (nissan symbol) L
H
The only numbers I see on the hub are like this:
2 (stud here) 3
These came off of an '82 model.
Sorry for the TJ. Hope it helps

Re: Jacobs goon build
There are a few that work... Mine are:
NISSAN 54303 P9100 drivers side, NISSAN 54302 P9100 passenger side. Cant imagine the tube being a different part number from the cast spindle...

I just have the one in my truck right now so I dont know if the other one is 54302 like yours or not.
The number on the back of the spindle I'm not sure what it's for. The spindle doesn't have a different part number that I'm aware of. I was just posting all of the numbers I could find on it.

Re: Jacobs goon build
You can drop them anytime between now and then. Just leave them in front of the shop door. I assume they're stripped down and degreased?Laecaon wrote:Saturday is a great day for me!DRIVEN wrote:Maybe. If you aren't in a hurry.

Re: Jacobs goon build
By stripped I just meant springs, calipers, rotors, etc. removed.

Re: Jacobs goon build
Yea, for sure. I need to remove the spring perches anyways. Inserts need to go. Hubs are already off.
