Hi Guys, really need to sort this out, I have 1994 GTS4, I have tried to get standers GTS4 suspension wihtout any luck. Both my front and rear suspension has "EYE" fitting, so can I fit front GTR and rear GTST suspension in to my one (GTR rear suspension got "FOLK" fiting)? will it work fine?........if not please tell me a combination that will work...

Its allmost imposible to find origianl standers suspension for R33 GTS4 :)

i have a mate who has the exact the same problem as you do.... if you work it out, PM me!

i've heard various stories, one of which, is that you'll need the stagea front end??? not sure if theres a difference between the stagea and GTR, but i suggest you throughly research this before making a decision....

good luck!

GTS4 has been doomed from the begining :O , One thing for sure I know is 95% car mechanics/suspension workers think GTS4 is same as GTS or GTST when it comes to suspension, which is so wrong!!!! make sure when you go to a meahcnic to inform him this is a GTS4 4WD, not a GTS or GTST.

Well at the moment thesea re the finiding I got.

1.KYB, Pedders, Monroe or Koni doesnt make any suspension for GTS4 or GTR model, so there is no hope

2.I found Blistein has got some for 4WD, GTR but when it comes to GTS4 rearshoskers mounting is different(EYE), so has to use the shockers for GTST rear.

3.Immpossible to find stock R33 GTS4 suspension

4. coilover is the only anwer to this? :rant: .........cant be,,,,,cant be.

5. dasladmv told me that in his R33 GTS4, he has used KYB R32 front and KYB R33 GTS rear, and for the last 18 months he didnt have a trouble with it. Im yet to confirm with him the exat details........................maybe this is the break through I've been waiting for :thumbsup:

thats all for now, let you know more details when it comes.

Guys,,

Thanks to dasladmv, he confirmed the following.

in his own words he said

" ive got the r32 gts shockers in the front and r33 gts ones in the rear. Im not sure if there is anydifference between gts and gtst shockers though...Im not sure what the spring rate is. When I was looking for king springs they told me I could get

a) standand height ones

b) springs which were a little lower while maintaining some comfort

c) super low springs which were a pretty rough ride.

I went for the springs which were a little lower while maintaining some comfort and Im pretty happy with them. Handling is improved and the ride is comfortable enough for daily driving."

Hope this will be a eye opener for the rest of R33 GTS4 owners.......

dasladmv thanks again buddy.

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
