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.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
