Standard R33 GTR suspension, selling due to upgrade

Theses are great if your reverting your car back to standard for RWC, compliance, defects etc

They sit pretty low for standard suspension, not sure why as springs look standard. It's not to low to get you into trouble, still legal height but doesn't look high like its on standard springs and shocks.. even though it is? They ride great, really firm but comfortable for daily driving, still feels great for some spirited driving as well

No leaks, clunks or damage, they do what there meant to do

Pick up only, not willing to post. Some pictures below of how it sits on the car with 18" rims all around

Thanks

No can do man

I am fairly sure the standard GTR shocks have lowered springs in them but no markings to identify what brand they are

Thanks

Just wondering what the diff would be detween those and the stand r34 gtt suspension would be are they much lower and harder? or just as sloppy and high?

GTR suspension/shocks would probably be a fair bit firmer, I know these are a lot harder than my standard R32 GTST suspension was, with the lowered springs it sits a bit lower and rides more firm

I wouldn't say its high, but then again its not low.. its a reasonable height and car handles fairly well with these, especially since there just standard suspension

The VSPEC came out of the factory slightly lower than the standard R33 GTR. Your exhaust will probably still sit at 65mm though :)

Mine is a V-SPEC as well but from my knowledge the V-SPEC had Bilstein suspension that was 10mm lower than standard GTR suspension. These aren't Bilstein though, although they are marked with GTR so they are definitely standard GTR suspension

I've got a 3" cat back on my car and as you can see in the picture above its got more than enough ground clearance, certainly legal

Thanks

Reasonably flat man, it handles pretty good

They are quiet firm for a standard setup

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
