Hi guys does anyone know if shocks made for an R34GTR will fit on a R34GTT??

also anyone know who makes shocks for the GTT?? Ive called whiteline and pedders they dont have them and bilstein only got them for the GTR.

any help appreiciated.

Thanx.

have you tried Heasmans on Princess Hwy, Sydenham in Sydney?

here are some jap brands from my hyperrev magazine - dunno where/how you could get them into australia. perhaps the online shops nengun, perfectrun, takakaira or greenline could help?

-tokico

-jam

-el-sport

I've been told that Bilstein make good ones for us, can be hard to source though cos they are slack. also just heard that kyb make some adjustable ones that fit and are good. Alistair at powerplay told me about them so I can only assume he can get them. i think they might be quite a new product for them.

Im pretty sure they fit. But anyway, inregards to shock for your 34. I got KYB replacements. $110 each. They also make KYB replacements with damper adjustable. No idea what the price is.

By the way, if you want front shocks, just tell them its for 33 GTST. Exactly the same. Rears are same as 33 GTR.

N/A® where did you get the KYBs from??. $110 each is a pretty good price

Abo bob - I called Bilstein in Sydenham and they only had them for the GTR not GTT..

I wonder if they meant they don't have them in stock? I spoke to a random one day who told me it took about 10 phone calls and 2 months to get his.

Also maybe we should tell them what N/A® just said above??? They might find they have them afterall.

I was pretty much sold on Bilsteins until I heard about the KYB ones cos they adjustable.

Bilsteins are very hard to get. Australia is the last in the chain so we basically get leftover stock. There are also 2 different spec shocks as well with bilstein. One is a Jap spec which is apparently no good for aussie roads and there is another spec but i cant remember the name of them. Much nicer on aussie roads and not much different with track work.

I tried to get some bilsteins from heasmans about 10 months ago and they wouldnt even take a deposit from back then as they didnt know what stock or when they were going to get any stock. Buggers me how a would famous shock can work like this.

R34 GTT's have 2 different setups.. easiest way is to check your rear shock.. if it looks like the rears in the pic, then GTR susp should fit.

Hi Dave is there anyway to tell without taking them out... i took them out before but I cant remember exactly what they look like...Ive got a 99 model GTT... you think the R34GTR susp will work?

N/A - What yr model is your GTT?? if its the same as mine ill just order the R33 suspension

4door GTT's do not use the fork on the back suspension so GTR suspension won't fit 4 doors.

as dave said, if your rear uses a fork then you can use GTR suspension. The only qualm about this is that apparently on the highest height setting using GTR suspension, the car sits a tad below stock height.

      Volk TE37SL 9.5J +22 / 10J +20

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Selling my TE37SLs since I've switched to smaller wheels.  They're for sale in Japan but it's pretty simple to send them overseas; USA excluded, since JPPost isn't sending there at the moment. Specs Front: 18x9.5j +22 5x114 Rear: 18x10j +20 5x114 Price: 320,000 JPY/ 3,285 AUD (current FX rate) Condition: a few scratches here and there, no bends, distortions or cracks.  Tires will not be included for international buyers, I'll get them dismounted before shipping. They're currently listed on yahoo auction and will be shipped in Japan with the tires if they sell here. Shipping costs to Aus: EMS (1-2 weeks): AUD 1,175 (current FX rate) Sea (2 months): AUD 460  (current FX rate)

      The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter

      Single Turbo Conversion On R32 GTR.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
