this works for the ke10. try using ke20 steering arms ontop of your ball joints, the spacing between the bolts on the bottom of the ke20 strut are the same as most datsuns, and do not use 1600 struts they are too long and the brakes are crap. Use 280zx then upgrade the calipers to 4spot toyota hilux late model ones for vented discs.

just remember the earlier you go in KE series, the shorter the steering arms are = more direct steering, more ackerman angle, but more sloppines if your joints are not up to scratch

i've got some s12 gazelle struts which basically came free with some rims i bought...anyway, i'm planning on using these on my ke10 as i was told they're the same as 280zx struts (they seem to have the same spring part numbers anyway)..does anyone know if this is right?

triggboy, im guessing they would be the same, you'll have to remove the spring seat because this will probably be too large to fit, i just went with a weld on coil over setup. you'll have to use ke20 ball joints (just push inplace of ke10 ones) and ke20 steerin arms.
