R33 Gtr Suspension In R34 Gtt?

[SKiT_R31]

Hey all,

This weekend I put some Tein S Tech springs in my R34 GTT (sedan) to bring it down to a more reasonable road height without making it uncomfortable. Anyway, I've decided the shocks aren’t cutting it they don’t double bounce or anything but definitely feel doughy - that just-chopped-out-2-coils spring feel.

Anyway I've got some low KM factory R33 GTR shocks in storage (collected from a different car) which from memory looked the same (rear fork, shortish front shock etc).

Does anyone know if these will bolt in (looks like they will, but I'd hate to dig them out of storage to find they either don’t bolt in, or the dimensions are different and they jack the front up an inch or something ).

Also, are they worth it (i.e. are they any good) or do they just carry the sticker?

Cheers heaps,

-Dan

I did it on the weekend, rears are the same, front sits about an inch lower, springs are the same.

My main worry with using coupe coilovers - and worse - GTR coilovers is that they're designed for a much different weight distribution than the sedan, and whilst they may fit - will ultimately result in a poorer ride than something specifically setup for the sedan.

From what I understand with the GTR coilovers on even coupes - they're designed for a greater weight over the front wheels that the GTR engine has, so are setup to compensate for that. I think this would be even worse on the longer sedan shape.

This is going on what I've read, and what others on this forum have said - so take it with a grain of salt

If you're driving on the street, that effect may not be that great

Unless your car is track car and corner weighted, i think the difference will be minimal

Nah your right, its shit.

Its actually softer than the stock gear + far too low (so scrubs on the guard) and bump stop happy.

On a positive note, at least we now have this thread here for anyone in the future who wonders whether it would work and wants to try it.

I hope you get your suspension sorted out

Worth mentioning though is the fact that nissan lists exactly same shock p/n's for R34 coupe and sedan. They also have the same wheelbase, so unless you drive with loaded boot, weight distribution is very close to sedan's.

Sorry for bumping this old thread but I create new threads for whatever reason.

Anyone know if 34-R coilovers and/or suspension bits fit on a GTT(coupe)?
