there are a few options... you can either:

1. find some low or superlow springs from somewhere like king springs etc or whiteline may have some and then get some decent shocks.

2. go into the groupbuy section and get the R33 whiteline suspension package. alot of work has gone into refining the setup for the r33

3. get coilovers. nice firm ride, although they are adjustable (depending on what kind you get, basic coilovers are height and damper adjustable)

wat do you want from your car? do you do any track work? is it a daily driver? mod your car for its purpose and youll enjoy it more

^^he's right but ...

what is a cheap solution in the beginning may end up being a costly one.

substantially lowering the height of your skyline with the standard shockers in place will bring about a quick death for the standard shocks ... then you will have to fork out money to get new shocks anyway.

I suppose you could lower the car then start saving for a new set of shocks to replace you stock ones when they give out.

Also you will need adjustable camber bushes minimum to correct the bad camber angles that plague lowered skylines + a good wheel alignment otherwise you will be replacing tires every 10000 k's.

Get yourself a set of lowered springs and a set of adjustable rear camber bushes or adjustable upper arms ( <--- be prepared to have to regularly check for cracks etc if you get rose jointed ones and also unwanted attention from authorities) to start with; then start putting away some coin for new shocks.

If your going real low you may want to have the gaurds lipped and pumped to stop scrubbing.

Also talk to your mechanic and explain to him exactly what you want from lowering your car and listen to his advise ...

End Rant !!! :D

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
