Standard R34 Gtt Spring Rates

[Jap_Muscle]

hey guys just in the process of putting together some custom shock/spring combos and wanted to know the standard typical 10yr old r34 skylines had in terms of spring rates.

Sydneykid who is a well informed being when it comes to suspension has recommended ideally 2.5kg/mm but no more then 3kg/mm spring rates in the rear if possible.

just trying to see if this would be TOO soft for the once a month trip to the milkbar for some maxibons **nom nom nom**

cheers

no one knwos the standard spring rates?

If you can measure the spring dimensions you can calculate the spring rate. See SKs sticky, or there are some online calculators.

yeh i saw that the only issue is the springs are still on the car =[

[MrStabby]

That's just means its a little less convenient, but it can still be done ok. Check the details of what's required in the thread.

i was under the impression that sydney kid used 3.2kg for some reason

i think SK drives a r32 GTR in which you would want a bit more stiff to keep the front end on the floor for the AWD. cant confirm this or anything because his MIA.

I'd like to know this too, anyone? For R34 GTT specifically.

I just got some King Springs that apparently have the following rates:

- Front: KDFL-101 X: 205 lbs per inch

- Rear: KDRL-61: 175 lbs per inch

I'd like to compare these to stock rates before putting them on the car (R34 GTT sedan).

Thanks

In metric these are:

- Front: KDFL-101 X: 205 lbs per inch = 3.66 kg/mm

- Rear: KDRL-61: 175 lbs per inch = 3.13 kg/mm

Still haven't found rates for the OEM springs.

Ok, I'm on this issue also.

I have a GTT and I want to figure out a good spring rate for grip racing. I thought any decent "FOR TRACK" R34 GTR coilovers would be fine but the GTT has slightly different requirements that I've found.
