Well I know I've asked this before .....but I've never really got an answer, just hoping there is someone new here who can help, here goes....

I need to find out if the front struts in aussie delivered R31 GTS are the same as the Japanese R31 GTS????

I've called Nissan, importers, wreckers etc but never been able to get an answer....... there must be an R31 expert lurking out there somewhere. I'm trying to find out because I need a set of Aussie R31 GTS Struts and can't find any but I know I could probably bring in some from Japan if they're the same!!

A thousand thank u's in advance

MIK

If you can get hold of some, I could sell at least 5 sets today.

If you have contacts, and would like to look into a group buy, let me know and I can line up some buyers. :D

Um, well we know that they interchange, we have an R31 Ti in the driveway with a set.

I also had a picture of three different rotors sitting side by side, but I can't access it while the R31 website is down. ;)

Stock (tiny!) the GTS/import rotor (medium) and a GTR rotor re-drilled to suit 4 stud.

Pic of GTR brakes on an R31 :(

Cool, thats what I wanted to hear....coz until someone actually says they have done it themselves or has a car with them fitted you can never be that sure. I'm chasing them up at the moment...i'm onto one yard in japan that has meant to have a bit of GTS-X stuff so I'll see how I go. Its a bit hard getting an answer out of them sometimes........Q: are they standard struts or GTS struts A: yes....thats what I'm dealing with at the minute!! but there have to be some around somewhere!!

but the standard aus r31 to gts jap r slightly different but can be interchanged

It's the 'slight difference' that permits the fitting of bigger rotors/calipers, .... hence the amount of people interested in the struts. :D

Yeah Slip I'm starting to think the same, the only reason I was originally going to use R31 GTS stuff is because I thought it would be an easy bolt in but as I've now realised it aint so easy when you can't find a set in oz. Think I'll just get some big DBA disks and make up the dog bones for the calipers. Only prob is I haven't found any decent inserts for the R31 struts either.

What about s13 or s14 struts ?? does anyone know if they are close to R31??

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
