Just got a 4 door R34 (non turbo), and the stock shocks seem pretty shagged...especially the rears, bottoming out fairly often, rough ride...etc

so am up for replacement, but just wondering what brands / type i should be looking at?? ive been told monroes / pedders will be a waste of money, and to go for kyb / koni or IF i can afford it , some sort of coilovers...

not really sure which way to go, but dont wanna spend TOO much on it, the car is daily driven, but i wouldnt mind if it handled a bit better ! >_<

cheers

I'm sure most people would recommend KYB's/Koni's over Monroe's or Pedders products. When I was searching last month for new suspension not many companies had replacement shocks for NA HR34's. From memory both KYB and Koni didn't have have anything for HR34's and I'm not sure if there will be any coilover options out there either with HSD, ISC catering for ER34 but nothing listed for HR34's.

My advice, search through the suspension company websites product lists, send e-mails or make phone calls to them. Another option is to search the For Sale section on SAu and see if something come up.

You have to remember reggie you have a GT-V model which means you can buy any suspension meant for a GT-T.

Also yours should be an ER34 as well. I ran mine through fast and it came up ER34.

yeah i know chris, mine comes up as ER34 on FAST also. I just didn't want to confuse him with my car being NA but with turbo spec suspension fitted from factory.

No worries mate.

Darkmoon what type of sedan do you have? tried running it through fast?

      Original window sticker?

      By Celticsfan03 · Posted

      Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
