The front might be a little low but i reckon if the coilovers are height adjustable, they will still be fine? Correct me if i'm wrong though.

The shocks are quite different lengths, plus the springs rates are much high for GTR's (and GTS4's) due to their higher front weight.

Cheers

all skyline RWD = all four eye type coilovers

all 4wd skyline = front-eye type rear-fork type

with regards to the topic if they are same rwd it will fit, but the height to weight ratio of 33 and 34 is a big difference.

Wrong

R34GTT, which is 2wd, has forks on the rear shocks.

4wd (GtR and GTS4) front shocks are much shorter so as to make clearance for the front driveshafts.

Ok im just tryn confirm this issue aswel, ive got sum hks adjusties coming outa my r33 coupe and planning to go into an r34 gt, so an rb20 not a gtt. so going on what ur saying r34 gt will be eye type? also will i come into any length issues in the shocks between the two cars? i guess it will be overcome by adjusting the collars anyway. cheers for any help guys.

Thanks for clearing that up..

Don't suppose anyone has a set of used R33 Gtst suspension. coilovers preferably.

Just need some to get me by for a few months.

      I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
