DGilmer Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 How do you deal with the electronic dampening that is connected to the shocks on a 91 SE model? I want to replace with either Rancho or Bilstiens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You remove the old shocks and install the new ones then tape off the factory connector... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 cut the wires off on the old shocks to preserve the connector holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) You guys mean, like I can just unplug them? Edited February 28, 2012 by nismothunder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizer92Pathfinder Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 How do you deal with the electronic dampening that is connected to the shocks on a 91 SE model? I want to replace with either Rancho or Bilstiens. You take the Old shock out and I would put Some rtv sealant into the connector and then Put in the New shock. Then ENJOY.

silverton Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not sure if there are any aftermarket replacements, or if factory replacements are even available. But you just disconnect the electronic plug from the shock and unbolt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Factory replacements are still available. I think like 120 per shock.... I just did this on my 94 SE. Like everyone else said, take em off, seal off the connector, put on new shocks and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not sure if there are any aftermarket replacements, or if factory replacements are even available. But you just disconnect the electronic plug from the shock and unbolt it. I looked for a while, and even found some shocks that claimed they were compatible. But when I looked in the box they were regular style shocks with instructions on how to unplug the connectors lmao. New ones would be worth it from Nissan if you're restoring one of these IMO.

DGilmer Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks All for the the replies. I'm ordering new upper A arms and shocks and never delt with this electronic dampening system before. I can't tell if it currently works or not (I don't notice a difference)and at 142000 miles, these are the original shocks. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
