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.

    • Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
