Cool project! I live in PA and good ground clearance and suspension travel are a wonderful thing. I had a few 240Zs in the 80's. You need to put oil in the strut tubes to conduct the heat from the shock to the outer surface of the strut tube.
Interesting, I never knew that. I've done the cartridges on my 300ZX and they were rusted solid in the strut housing so this was at least a pleasant surprise to take them apart without hammering and a torch.
Now to get ultimate traction and ride play with your tire pressure. Don’t be afraid to try around 25psi as the tires are rated for a higher load than your car.
I'll have to try that out. I did go lower to 30psi, where my normal is around 35 and it worked pretty well. Next time I take it out I'll try it 25 and see how it goes.
Looks great so far, love the Safari look. Looking forward to part 2!
Thanks a lot!
