hey guys

i have being reading around the site about lowering the stagea but they are all the rs4 versions, see i have a rs (RWD)

just wanted to know if the front springs are off the r32gtst would fit??? i have some sitting in the shed off my r32, being that it is rwd i thought i might be the same as a r33gtst front suspension (apparently r33/32 gtst have the same front springs).

plus what are the rear springs off r33 gtr or something.

cheers kenny :D

I'm no expert but I've been doing a lot of research on this subject lately. I got a rwd rs too, and yes the suspension is different. As far as I'm aware you can't use any skyline gear. Apparently it is possible to use modified sylvia shocks.

There are several brands that make aftermarket bits for the wc34 rwd's, s-tune, tien, kyg. I have contacted several people in Aus and I'm looking in to getting some bilstiens from the aus supplier, failing that I will order from NZ.

Apparently a laurel is the only thing that will bolt directly in. But that doesn't really help with availabilty.

Hope that helps

That makes sense since the Stagea is a C34 Laurel wagon.

You can FAST the OEM parts and then use parts master to see if there is any factory interchangeability - you never know what might turn up to be compatible.

    • 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.
