From what I know, the GTt and GT coilovers should be the same. GTR's different. So if you've got a GT and can only find GTt coilovers, they should be fine. Even four door and two door, they should be the same if they're both GT/GTt. If you've got a GT4, either four door or two, you should get GTR coilovers.

Correct me if I'm wrong guys.

Edit: Don't listen to what I just said. It's wrong... :)

So u guys reckon GTT using the same shock/ coilover as GTR 33/34?

Im new to R34 GTT sedan

They will fit, but they won't "work". With close to 200 kgs more weight over the front wheels R33/34GTR front spring and damper rates are just not suitable for a 2WD. Then you have the rear, a 2 door coupe is hardly the same as a 4 door sedan.

Cheers

coilovers for gtt's are different to the gt's. the fronts will fit ok but the rears require different length. If you cant find set of coilovers for the gt, maybe speak to SydneyKid about an altenative setup

lol sorry I just read that SydneyKid said similar thing

The R33/34 and Stagea S1 and S2 rear shocks are all the same length as are S14 and S15 Silvias.

The R34GT has bushes at the lower mount on the rear shock like R33GTST and S1 Stagea autos

The R34GTT has a fork the lower mount on the rear shock like R33/34GTR, S2 Stagea manuals and 260RS

What about the 4-Door, Can some one sum it all up...

IE.

R34 GT-* (2 Door) =

R34 GT-* (4 Door) =

R34 GT-t, GTR Ect. (2-Door) =

R34 GT-t, GT-X (4-Door) =

I Guess the Q I'm asking is are the 2 & 4 Doors the same; also are there any differences between RWD and AWD?

The R34 GTT 2 dr & 4 dr has the same suspension setup. However for the R34GT (Na) they uses a different one probably a R33Gts type for the rear only. The reason is one of our mates has the GT NA and he has to get a different type than the GTT.

R34 GT (2 Door) = Eye Eye

R34 GT (4 Door) = Eye Eye

R34 GT-t (2-Door) = Eye Fork

R34 GT-t (4-Door) = Eye Fork

R34GTS4 (2 door) = Eye Eye

R34GTS4 (4 door) = Eye Eye

R34GTR (2 door) = Eye Fork

The spring and damper rates are different for 2 doors and 4 doors, as they should be.

The 4wd's have shorter front shocks to fit the driveshafts in.

Cheers

Im looking at getting coilovers for my r34 GT (2 door, non turbo).

So following this information, the GT-T coilovers wont work.

Does anybody know where abouts i can get some to suit a GT, as i only seem to be able to find them for the turbo model.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
