Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Same with ford fairlanes like my daily. They had an rear airbag setup to level the car once a trailer/caravan was placed on the tow bar, Since it was $1000's to fix it once it broke most people replaced it with coilovers once it died.

yeah, factory 'yota bags are pretty average, especially at this age, while its mad fun droppin the ass and liftin the nose on hindley street, theyre pretty useless really. dampening sucks. you can buy 're manufactured' bags from an american company called 'arnott industries', but they have a fairly short life span apparently. hell, you can even buy air struts with bilstein inserts through them. pumps you can find second hand, but even then theyre crazy expensive ($1000 private, up to $2000+ from a wrecker). just get coilovers.

dont be put off by the rather high spring rate you tend to find for coilovers for these things though, theyre heavy beats, so 15-18kg front springs tend to be the norm.

:edit:

pm sent dude, also check this out, stance in the us, theyve got 5 types of coilovers, from your base model stuff all the way to remote reservoir racing stuff, thats a link to the GR+ which is 1 step above entry, 18/10kg springs, which is normal for 'yota gear. enjoy.

then theres; HSD TT Series, HSD HR Series, ISC N1 (says its only available for 97 on though, might wanna check with ryan), and racing logic.

lol but can those stock airbags be modded easy to get the wheels bouncing off the ground?

nope, for a start the air lines and valves are WAY too small, along with an asthmatic compressor and tired pump, theyre pretty useless, takes forever to lift and drop. only way youd get it bouncing (or moving faster than youre average snail) is a very large airtank, one pump per axel, upgraded compressor, 1/2 inch or bigger lines, and suitable valves... and you know, new struts.

oh Dave some people have no taste :blink:

haha, yeah, its pretty ordinary...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
