these shocks still around??

i bought some bilsteins a few months back, fitted the fronts, just got back from holiday and was planning to fit backs... but went under to check it out and i need shocks with a U shape at the bottom, not the circular fittment like the front. Thought i had wrong shocks, and went down to JMS to confirm i had wrong shocks... only to find i had the wrong cradle! a GTR cradle I assume??

To the point... are your rear shocks going to fit mine (shocks have U shape fittment) and are they in ok condition (what do you mean by they have to be rebuilt??)... if so would you be interested in selling just rears or doing a swap for gtst rears with me??

my shocks are 2nd hand, but hardly used by the look of them (got them off bbenny)

PS- any pics?

thr rears are in good cond and yes they have the U shape fitting. 400 for tham and you get urself a spare set of fronts that you can re_build:) I dont need anymore as ive got a 200sx now Cheers Matt

    • OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.
    • Nah. You buy a kit that has shorter tubes.
    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
