My questions are :

1. Were these factory fitted to all R34 GTT's or were they an option?

2. Is it possible to lower my car say an inch and retain these coilovers? and implications of this.

3. simple question, from your knowledge are they any good? e.g. how do they compare to the whiteline bilstein gtt package?

Thanks again fellas,

Howie

Hi Howie, from memory the R34GTT Nismo Bilstein option was 15 mm lower than standard, similar height to an R34GTR. You can have the additional circlip grooves added (same as the Group Buy) if you want to go a little lower. I would suggest 3 grooves at 8 mm apart as a maximum. That will give you the potential to go down 24 mm from where they are now (ie; 39 mm lower than standard). They handle best around 350 mm front and 340 mm rear (ie; 30 mm down from standard). So the second additional groove would be the go.

If you want to go that low you will need camber kits, so please keep the following in mind when lowering yours. This is what is usually needed for each height increment, note that all measurements are centre of wheel to guard;

Standard (new) height is 380 mm front and 370 mm rear

360/350 mm needs only the standard rear camber adjusters

350/340 mm needs 1 front camber kit and 1 rear camber kit

340/330 mm needs I front camber kit and 2 rear camber kits

:( cheers :(

Hi Howie & Sydneykid

I am looking for the exact shocks for my GTT for quite sometime already but i don't have the part number for it. Any chance of checking them for me cause my local distributor is kinda lame & don't cater much to Skylines. Heard that with matching Eibach springs the car will handle better with the Bilstein combo shocks.

Many thanks in advance mates...

I can arrange a set for you through the Group Buy at retail minus ~15%, freight is free to wherever you want. Some things you need to know:

1. There is no "off the shelf" kit for an R34GTT

2. There is an "off the shelf" kit for the R33GTR and R34GTR

3. You will need a spring change to the R33/34GTR kit to suite the R34GTT (I know what rates to use)

4. The shock valving will accommodate the spring change (I have checked it on the shock dyno)

5. There is no stock in Australia, they are airfreighted in from Germany on payment of a 100% deposit

6. The springs used are made by Eibach for Bilstein (they have Bilstein signage)

7. The R34GTT springs are Eibachs

8. The kit is not cheap, especialy when you add the costs of the R34GTT Eibach springs

The above is why your local distributor is not all that interested.

PM me if you want to proceed or would like more details.

:( cheers :(

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
