Exclamation so i bought...

my first "aftermarket" parts for the 240. i just got the strut bars for it,i bought all three, the struttower ones and the undercar one. my question is did these really benifit you guys ? i havent intalled the one underneath yet , its too f'n cold out there! bein as im still pretty new to 240s im looking for any advice and all the guidance you guys have, what should be my next purchase? i know the rest of the suspension is very costly,although im not really big into drifting, im trying to go towards boosting the car and just haveing a respectable street car , i know im talking in circles now, ill stfu

since your not into drifting but more into boost, i would suggest purchasing a vlsd in the near future.

VLSD, subframe bushings, motor mounts, brakes, TC rods, suspension, etc...

Get the chassis/brakes sorted out first before you pour any power into the car. Doesn't matter what you want to do with it, those are always important steps in any project.

those u MUST use the axles that's coming along with the diff.
U should look for 6 bolted ones. It's basically 3 tabs with 2 holes.
What you see on the link you posted is 1 tab with 1 hole. They will work though. Just more work involved.
You can find VLSD sold on TR nissan forsale section sometimes, or call up local custom shops, such as Driven Concept, or XAT, or JDM Market

go ahead and get it.
You can easily find one locally here for nearly HALF of what you're looking at.
Shipping isn't cheap for those things, especially when the item weighs 80 pounds.
