Nissan King Cab

[WILD ONE]

It's been awhile but I'm still around. Things in Aussie didn't go to plan, so I'm heading back to New Zealand at the end of this month.

On my journey back to Chch, I'm calling in to see Renco5012. Somewhere along the line I've bought one of his Nissan King Cabs, my second Tamiya. It needs some parts to get it to runner status, one (more to the point 4) things it does need is springs for the shockies. I've just found the spare springs for my Mad Force, which in my expert eyes look like they'll fit.[]

My question is: Can somebody measure the stock standard King Cab springs, and or complete shock from centre top mounting point to centre bottom mounting point let me know what length they are.

Thank you

Hey Del, hows things.

I've checked out my KC and taken a few measurements for you.

The front springs are 78mm long free length, the rears are 83mm. The extended length of the front and rear shocks is 107mm measured to the mounting holes.

Good to hear from you again.

Hey John, things have been **** since we got to Aus.

The springs from my Mad Force are almost perfect, just a little shorter (by a couple of mm) but they'll do until I find some proper King Cab ones. Why did I sell all my wicked Tamiyas? Live and learn I `suppose. I'm not going to get into it has much as I did before. Yeah right!!!! [8)]

Thanks for doing that mate. When I looked at them I thought that they'd be close to being almost right. Too many years in R/C. [8D]
