Thumbs up Rear shock length? Oh and going Z32 rear subframe

Anyone know the stock rear shock length/height/size?

In the process of replacing the rear end (not the bodywork..) including subframe, diff, arms and suspension. This as a result of a long modding process to get it registrered with a VH45.. Positive thing though is the Z32 shares arms with the S13 and S14 so a big aftermarket boost.

Now, i know the Z32 rear shock size (since they came with the rear end i bought) but i dont have the stock Z33 shocks, only HSD coilovers and it would be nice to actually have the stock numbers of both for comparison.

From the top side of the mount (what makes contact with the car body) to the tip of the fork it's roughly 21". Just finished taking mine off

Thanks! I compared the OEM Z32 shocks to my lowered HSDs and 21" seems about right! I should be able to use Z32/R32 GTR rear shocks with some minor drilling for the top mounts. Now "all" i need to do is cut away the Z33 rear subframe bolts and reweld them at their new locations
