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** :glare:

cheers

wanted to know the standard typical 10yr old r34 skylines had in terms of spring rates.

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.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
