Yes, which strut is that? Front or rear? In the front is a bearing about 40mm OD in the rear is a hard rubber disc with the same dimensions

Yeah, I wondered if you had. I don't spend much time there

amazing cars. like this.

Definitely the JDM one. My 12/70 looks just like the Captains.

My 12/70 #17770 has the black unlit switch.

I havent seen this posted anywhere on here: Carl B, do you have in on your VIN records?

@Pat Horne Good luck.

The front struts have a bearing under the isolator. Part #53 in your picture. I assumed that this was about the rears because no bearing was shown or mentioned. Anyway, some good leads to follow.

I have one of each type, this one is from #6521, 7/70 And this one is on #957, 1/70. Hard to get a good pic when it's still installed. Both have the Hitachi logo.

Actually the picture and part number is from the front suspension parts microfiche that is on carpartsmanual.com. If it says Pathfinder, it's because they used the same part on it.

bump. I am still making both the magnet and the bearing retainer

Bump. I am still making the retainers and the magnets. Bearing retainer are for electronic pickup distributors from 1974 to 1978 and matchbox distributors from 1979 to 1983. They are slightly different. The matchbox distributor was used longer in Europe than in the USA so you may fid a matchbox distributor in a 1984, 85 86 vehicle overseas.

I accept paypal. at chaug@bis.midco.net. 30.00 for the bearing retainer that goes in the breaker plate. I make them for the 74-78 electronic pickup distributors and for the 79-83 matchbox distributors. Both come with 6 new ball bearings 35.00 for a stator magnet. 60.00 for both as most distributors need both the retainer and the magnet. Free shipping to lower 48 USA I will know what the money is for when it is sent to paypal. You can also email me, or text me at seven zero one-471-fifteen thirtyfour.

Part 13 is below the insulator. It is small. Part 46 from SteveJ is a large part, apparently for a Nissan Pathfinder. Not sure if he's recommending an alternative. ??? There are aftermarket bump stops. But they are placed aorund the sliding strut shaft.

@Yarb I just cound't tell if was sand or rubber like.....maybe more sand. This came from under the top spring perch not above like the spacer and insulator. I was thinking more along the lines of a bump stop? Was there Bump stops? Thanks for the input.

Part 49 49 ASSY-INSULATOR STRUT 54320-E4100 And still available from Nissan. https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/parts/nissan-insulator-strut~54320-e4100.html?vin=&make=Nissan&model=Frontier&year=2024&submodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=(r=1686)

What is the purchase procedure?

Might be the "spacer". Part #13. I actually bought a pair for my car from Courtesy Nissan long ago. Not sure if you can find them now. It's just a hard rubber ring. Datsun Z Rear Suspension (Strut,...Datsun Z Rear Suspension (Strut, Shock Absorber & Transve...

Need more of a descriptive finding. Does it crumble in your hand like sand or is it old dry rubber?

While at a car show this past weekend, had a very interesting conversation with a gentleman. His parents opened a Datsun dealership in Moose Jaw, Sask. The year was 1966, he said that the family home was on the same property and he grew up working in the shop. He remembers the day the Datsun Training trailers pulled into the yard and all of the mechanics spent a week going through the courses. He gave me three of these plastic bags, he says he has lots more Datsun stuff . I am working on getting a chance to go shopping through his collection.

Installing new shocks in my "72" (KYB) and am wondering what this is that came out of the top spring perch? See picture. Was this just caked in dirt or remants of something else? Thanks!

Hi Charles, I started a thread a while back on hybridz in their EMS/Megasquirt forum: https://forums.hybridz.org/topic/136053-76-280z-microsquirt-project/#comments It has been a journey, so far no regrets dumping the AFM/Bosch ECU etc.
