ok i own a 4 door r34 25gt i got some tein suspension ready to put on until i found out my rears are the fork design, even though i have read everywhere that only the turbo and the gt-v versions have the fork design so why the hell does mine? Also i have found some nismo rear suspension but they are from a r33 gtr so they will fit but would it work ok or not that well on a 4 door. only reason i ask is because people say dont get r33 gtr fronts because the fronts weigh more and it wont work. also i can get front nismo suspension so thats why i was wondering with the rear nismo items. also do you know any good set up as im only looking to lower it for street use as its my daily driver so im guessing ill need springs an upgraded shockers to go with them.

thanks in advance.

have you ever ran your VIN through Nissan FAST? you may have a GT-V

also wondering why you didn't just get underneath and have a look? it's not that hard. it would have prevented you buying suspension that won't fit.

i knew i should have looked i guess i shouldn't have assumed, anyway i got my money back as well so it wasnt that bad. oh crap i just remembered i have r34 turbo brakes would that change the suspension as well? anyway i can get some good nismo rears as i have already got the front. are r33 gtr nismo rears be ok for my car?

i cant get the nismo's now they will only drop it 10mm and thats just a waste of money also i cant get the fronts now the bastard sold them on me lol. anyway back to square one and continue my search.

ps. im a member now woohoo. :)

ok i have a r34 25gt and i went to get some suspension and found out that mine has the fork design on the rear. while every one elses non turbo r34 one has the same setup as the r33 with all 4 being the circle design. so why is mine the same as the tubo models for? also mine is a 4 door.

thanks eug. i hope i might get some answeres now because i have some more info like i know mine has turbo brakes. so would that change the suspension to fork? also what other differences would mine have if it was a gt-v is there other little things i could look at. as everything looks normal the only difference is my neo engine cover isnt in red its not coloured at all.

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
