Nice work JelloBello.
A word of warning though.... You may be up for some hasstle with the regard to getting the rear struts out....
From the factory, Nissan put this massive 'nut' sort of thing on the top of the strut. It's hard to describe, as i have never seen anything like it before and to me it seemed to serve no purpose. It seemed to just be there as a lock nut of some sort, which is completely unnecessary.
Anyway, it looked sort of like a door knob, but you needed a 17mm (i think, from memory) allen key to get the mongrel off... Without getting this stupid nut off, you can't get the strut out.
Obviously i didn't have a allen socket that big, so we masked off the interior of the car and ground a notch into this 'knob' with my 4" grinder. From there we used a cold chisel and a hammer to undo the stupid bloody thing.
If you are lucky, someone might have replaced the struts in your car previously and thrown these 'big nut things' in the bin.
We discovered all this whilst replacing the struts and springs in my little brothers Series 2 SSS.
Be sure to let us know how you go!
Has anyone else ever come across this?
Dan.
