According to the threads above, the following coil-overs should be interchangeable:

R34:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R34 GTT and R34 GTR

R34 GTR and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS-4 and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS (non turbo)and all R33?

R33:

R33 GTR (BCNR33) and R33 GTS-4

R33 GTR and R34 GTT

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTT *fronts only*

R33 GTR and R33 GTST *fronts only*

R33 GTS (non turbo) and R33 GTS25-T

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTR

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTS-4

R33 and R34 GTS (non turbo)?

R32:

R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R32 GTR and R32 and GTS-T *fronts only*

R32 GTR and R32 GTS4

NOTE:This isn't my information, just collected threads with the intention of helping people looking to buy coil-overs. I'm simply trying to find what coil-overs will fit into my car (94 S1 R33 GTS non turbo), and ended up with this thinking others might use it considering i've found 16 relevant topics on the same thing, and there's alot more as I only did a few basic searches to get an idea. There's so many contradicting statements and "fronts will, rears won't", different mounting types, and the fact that the above is just based on bolt-in fitment, nothing to do valving, spring rates etc. I could ramble on, but I think you get the idea that i tried to make this as a guide for people, as per the topic description, and i'm happy to edit the post if people can add things such as "I bolted R32 GTR front coilovers into my R34 GTST no worries",and also as I get more motivated to sift through the remaining topics from more searches. But honestly, the whole thing is a head f***, so just buy coilovers to fit your car and be happy. :blink:

nice thread, ive been thinking this section needs a compatibility thread for a while now, not just coilovers either. should sticky it

Cheers mate. Any help appreciated in making it more accurate, as stated above, as at the moment it's just a few posts correlated into a list. If people could measure and post up the factory upper mount type, stud number, stud pattern and distance, as well as lower mounting description/type i'll edit that in too.

And can someone with a R33 GTS non turbo confirm that R33 GTS-T coilovers/struts will bolt in? I'm having difficulty finding any listings other than GTS-T stuff. I just want a basic street spec damper, non-adjustable to avoid getting the wrong kind of attention, that will take a 30mm King spring lowering spring. Instead I ended up with this thread. :(

R32:

R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R32 GTR and R32 and GTS-T *fronts only*

R32 GTR and R32 GTS4

well i can confirm these, 32 also fits Aus spec R31 rears.

the R33 stuff sounds right if i remember right, but my memory is too shit to say a definite on it.

R34:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R34 GTT and R34 GTR

R34 GTR and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS-4 and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS (non turbo)and all R33?

R33:

R33 GTR (BCNR33) and R33 GTS-4

R33 GTR and R34 GTT

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTT *fronts only*

R33 GTR and R33 GTST *fronts only*

R33 GTS (non turbo) and R33 GTS25-T

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTR

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTS-4

R33 and R34 GTS (non turbo)?

R32:

R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R32 GTR and R32 and GTS-T *fronts only*

R32 GTR and R32 GTS4

Ok, as I read it:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT fits R34 GTR

R33GTR fits R34 GTR

R34 GTR fits R33 GTS-4

But then R34 GTR fits R33 GTS-T.... and then etc etc for R33 gts-ts

Is that right? So R33 GTS-T fit R33 GTR, because R34 first R33 GTS-T :):down:

R34:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R34 GTT and R34 GTR

R34 GTR and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS-4 and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS (non turbo)and all R33?

Issues i see here is you say r34 GTT and GTR are interchangeable but then say GTT and r33 GTST aren't fully interchangeable but the r34 GTR and R33 GTST is seems like something might not be right there

R34:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

Yeah mate, I just went through a heap of posts and ^listed^ what I found, like I said at the bottom I don't know if any of the information is accurate, and I didn't cross-reference either. :D

  • 4 years later...

So has this list been re edited? Just looking at getting some tein coilovers for my R34 GTT but they dont offer the ones i want but they do in other skyline models. Sorry to revive an old thread or if theres a newer one please point me to it

With r34 gtt you'll need r33 Gtst front shocks and r33/34 gtr rears, see if you can just order pairs instead

R33/34 gtr fronts will also fit, but not recommended only because they are roughly 20mm shorter shocks standard with higher rates.

Not sure about those teins since they are height adjustable plus the shocks are designed to run much higher spring rates anyway

that is front n rear?

yes, both fit. Currently running a set of hks's in mine to suit bnr32. Only difference is pillowball mounts, r32 is circular, z32 is oval so may need to trim an r32 set if fitting to a z32.

edit: Pillowball difference only applies to fronts too

or get r32 mounts? if gettin a z32 coils. How about the koni shocks for the z32?

Little unsure what your asking.

The issue is the r32 circular front pillowball mounts tend to be a bit wider than the oval z32 ones (but not always so test fit beefore chopping!) so will not fit against the inner side of the guard. Thus one side of the mount needs a slight trim.

Z32 coilovers however should fit into a bnr32 or gts4 with no issues at all.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
