The hole in the pillowball bearing is too small for the strut to slide in. The threads go in of course, but the smooth top 1.25" section of the strut insert is too large to fit. I will take a picture and show you....
Also the hardware that came with the plates is obviously not going to fit anything.
In the 2nd pic the hardware on the top was the included stuff, the original 280ZX nut is on the bottom.

if you and your buddy start posting in all the forums around for 510's, I am sure someone will find it. Stolen 510's have been recovered around....
I believe most of the datsun forums have a stolen section.... if not make one.
start with dimequarterly.com , ratsun.net and the 510realm.org.
than get lojack.
I hate that some people have no conscience and would take a car.

Don't know man, my teins fit perfect. The only thing I can think of is either trying different ones. Or finding somebody with a lathe and maybe mill the strut down to the size of the bearing in the CP. If I was at home I would take some better pics, the two I have don't show it good enough.
Do the ground control coilover kit spring hats have a sleeve that the threaded top of the strut insert slide into? I saw some pictures tonight of some coilovers that had a small sleeve that protects the threads from the CP bearing, and the nut just threads on from the top.
I read in that same thread on the510realm.com that people running ZX struts have no suspension travel. I figure the strut is 2.5" shorter than the 510 strut, so I dont see how that is possible. some guys were complaining that their or their buddies 510's only had 1" of suspension travel.

I am aspiring to turn it into serious machinery. Right now it is Suh-low. My barely modded Protege would tear it up from a standstill.
'twas a joke.. I like the car!
Update:
NOt much, al of a sudden I am getting 25-28 MPG in the Datsun where I was getting 20-21 on average and 23 at best. I didnt even change anything. I Seafoamed it a while ago, but it didnt do much since the engine is only 13K miles old since the total rebuild.
An old boss of mine who I am friends with thinks he has a couple sets of 44mm mikuni sidedraft carbs and manifolds that I keep asking him to find. I think I could get them for about next to free since he kinda owes me.
That and 2.25" exhaust all the way back (~200 with a magnaflow muffler and conservative tip. at a local shop) should improve the mileage mre.
who would have thought of huge double carbs in a little 1.8L engine could do as much has they do?
