Hi,

I have been told by a number of SAU members that R33 GTS-T suspensions are a direct fitment to R34 25GT Coupe. So I went ahead earlier on in the week to purchase a set of R33 GTS-T suspensions (see attached).

However, after reading around, I am having my doubts that I have just wasted $200.00. Could someone please explain to me what I need to buy?

I also thought that the R33 GTS-T were a straight fit for the R34 GT coupe

But I was recently told that the R33 GTS-T suspensions fronts will fit R32/R33 and rear will fit S14/S15

Hmm.. Could someone shed some light on this? About to get some coil overs soon, just want to make sure before I buy them :P

I was told that R33 GTS-T fronts will fit R34 N/A but the rears won't... after being told they are a direct fitment by numerous SAU users. To make life more difficult, no Japanese Import Mechanics I have tried stock any shocks/struts readily available to fit without some sort of overpriced deposit and a weeks worth of waiting.

well both R33 GTSTs and R34 25GTs have the eyelet configuration on both front and rear struts, in theory they are exactly the same, perhaps you should take them to your nearest suspension/steering mechanic to try fit them?

the shocks and springs you have posted up there are identical to the ones found in both R33 GTSTs and R34 25GTs, the only thing i can think that could be different would be the spring rates

all the best with it, hope it works out

My understanding is they are the same as well. Its only the R34 GTT's that have the different lower joint on the rear suspension.

Jump under your car and have a quick look to confirm.

Then go back and laugh at the wrecker...

I had a look under my car, it seems to be the same as those I purchased (pictured in OP). I hope they're the right ones... really edging to get them installed ASAP once received :banana:

Guys, just to let you know I had these put in removing the springs shown with my Pedder low rider's.

R33 GTS-T front and rear are indeed, direct fitment on any R34 GT's.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
