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...

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.

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

Im sure I will be making a few products, just not sure what.
The company is totally down with their employees using the equipment for personal projects/side job.
Also, T3 paid for!
Driven, want to sand blast my struts?

I can thro a set in the pile, if sandblasting 4 struts is probably as easy as 2

What is this part number? And there are numbers on the hub is it the tube numbers (I figure they are) or the hub numbers (back of the cast bottom portion.

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

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.

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?

By stripped I just meant springs, calipers, rotors, etc. removed.

Yea, for sure. I need to remove the spring perches anyways. Inserts need to go. Hubs are already off.
