Hey guys just after some proffesional clarification as I find this a tad confusing. I have an 2000 model R34 non turbo that is 2 door but AWD. A mate of mine beleives it is a GTS4. Now from reading this I understand that i need GTR suspension? is this correct? or is there R33 suspension that is suitable for me? Basically I just want to lower my car and stiffen the ride and have been told that coilovers are my best option. Its not a track car or anything so it doesnt have to be brand new or top of the line gear.

If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

Cheers.

Unfortunately R34GTS4's are not the same as anything else. So you can't just grab a complete kit, it's a mix and match exercise. Being a 4WD the front shocks have to be the short style, like an R32/33/34GTR. But it doesn't have the same weight on the front (no turbos, no intercooler, smaller gearbox etc) so you need a lower front spring rate and lower spring free height than an R33/34GTR. At the rear the R34GTS4 doesn't have the alloy rear hubs that R34GTR's and R34GTT's have, it has cast iron hubs like an R33GTST and R34GT. That's why an R34GTS4 needs the rear shocks with the eyes (like an R33GTST) not the forks (like an R33/34GTR). The rear springs in R33and R34 all models are the same.

A summary of what you need;

R33/34GTR front shocks

R33GTST or R34GTT front springs

R33GTST rear shocks

R33/34GTR, R33GTST or R34GTT rear springs

Cheers

Okay so i have a sedan 1999 R34 25gt-v.
What are my options here?

It is an N/A but i'm almost one hundred percent sure that a gt-v has the exact same suspension set-up as a gtt.
Therefor giving it the eye fork set-up i guess.
I assume from the previous posts i cant transfer coil overs from a coupe into my sedan?
Are there any previous model skylines ie. r32/r33/ coil overs i could purchase that i could just drop straight in?

Any help would be much appreciated :)
Cheers Tony.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
