hey all, ive got a gts4 which seems the suspension has gotten quite sloppy over the last year. all stock stuff im guessing as it was never great and defo not coil overs or anything. theres a fella on here selling some stock gtr springs/shocks which he says is in good condition which im hoping to purchase this weekend.

now ive read how itll fit from the suspension layout, but im wondering the type of specs the gtr would have over the gts4? after searching and reading a lot, i only really worked out that a higher spring rate is stiffer, and too stiff is bad for the road, as my car is a daily driver.

if the gtr stuff going to be stiffer? lower? better in general?

i guess anything would be better then my sloppy stuff at the moment..

cheers, shaun.

The GTR suspension should be fine in your GTS-4 mate. I've got some GTR coilovers to replace my old worn out Nismo ones and they're not stiff at all. Should be alright as a daily. They're not lower either.

How much you paying for your GTR suspension? Just to give you an idea of how much they're worth, I bought the whole set (4 GTR coilovers) for $150. They were in good condition.

Make sure that the rear shock lower mount is the ame as what you have.

I've heard of gts4's with gtst style rear shock mounts... haven't seen evidence though..

I am in the act of taking a set of gtr suspension out of mine. Seemed ok for a daily, not rough or anything.

Threw on a set of kings lows springs, don't match well with the gtr shock rate, will bottom out easily and not control the bound / rebound very well (on the fronts, the backs don't have any damping left at all, just bounce). Going for koni adjustables as I quite like the spring height and rate. Also doing adjustable castor bushes, both front tie rod ends, and pineapples. Should be lots nicer to drive.

thanks for the responses guys. adam, yeh the price is a bit lower then yours. im under the impression most gtr guys take them out to put in new stuff and have noone but us gts4 guys to hand me down to :P im just after some not so shagged suspension to replace my sloppy stuff. im not much of a boy racer, just dont like being throw about on bumpy roads :P

and ive never heard that that heller. good luck with the koni's though :rolleyes:

shaun.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
