LMStaples Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Does anyone know where I can find the nuts mentioned on page 8 of the service manual (RSU) when removing the rear coil spring? Closest I've managed to find is: https://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/genuine-nissan-350z-03-09-370z-09-20-rear-upper-shock-nut.html But that references a "Rear upper shock nut" rather than "Rear lower link mounting nuts".

ZMANALEX Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 You only have to remove the outer bolt and nut to remove the spring. I have plenty in stock, however, these can be reused many times over despite what the service manual states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMStaples Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 Okay, I assumed they needed replacing as they were like nylon locking nuts or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMStaples Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 Managed to get through to "local" Nissan parts department, said the same as @ZMANALEX that the nuts only need replacing if they are perished.ZMANALE X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMStaples Posted November 8 Author Share Posted November 8 (edited) Haha, yeah the guy initially misunderstood me and tried to source a new set of rear coils from Japan but couldn't get any. I think the reason they say they need replacing is because they have stops on the nut stopping you from tightening them too far, guess they can wear away. Mine looked okay though, bit rusty but I ultrasonic cleaned them and they look brand new now. Edited November 8 by LMStaples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
