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.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
