Shock Compatability

[Roy]

I have spent a bit of money on shocks recently, only to really want to run a GTR read cradle which means my shocks would no longer be any good to me.

So it got me thinking what Nissans run the same shock? Im hoping that 300ZX shocks will fit my car if i was running a GTR rear cradle.

ie, are Z32 front shocks the same as R32 GTSt? And are Z32 rear shocks the same as R32 GTR shocks? Or do i just buy R32 GTR shocks, i just figure beign rwd that the Z32 shocks will be more suitable for a GTSt then shocks off an AWD car

In the 32 length (short) there is only the GTR shocks with the fork at the bottom, everything else I have seen has eyes. There is very little difference in the rear weight of a GTR compared to a GTST, all the extra weight is in the front. So GTR shocks would be fine. Why don't you just swap the bottom mount over from eye to fork? It's no big deal , a quick angle grind and MIG weld and it's done.

Figures, noticed that the Zeds rear was also a fork. Maybe i should stop trying to find things to waste my money on
