Hey all,

I recently put some Tein S Tech springs (http://www.tein.com/products/s_tech.html) into my otherwise standard R34 GTT Sedan (apart from 175kW atw with nistune on 10psi EBC), simply for aesthetics as it sat waay too high.

The lower 46mm in the front and 35mm in the back, the car sits nice and level and looks respectable (almost what it should look like standard imo).

OK, problems;

Almost straight away it was obvious that the shocks weren’t up to it, felt like riding with choppies (you could feel the spring, but apart from no double bounce you couldn’t really feel any shock absorption, if that makes sense).

So if anyone can recommend a good shock absorber to suit, something firm but comfortable (but the car is a daily, I have another car for track) and where i can get it that would be fantastic.

Next is rear camber, its quite visibly obvious that they are way out, and it has definitely having more issues with traction. On top of that the rear bounces and clunks on traction loss (and i can replicate the banging by just popping the cutch without throttle in gear, is it bushes??). I know i need some sort of rear camber adjustment, but is that all, or could rear toe be out as well?

Next is front, visibly its fine but steering is lacking, lost front end grip - loves to understeer even a sweeping corner at a tame speed.

Idea's?

Just want it perfect for street, I'll be upgrading sway bars too - also not sure which option is ideal...

I'm pretty cluey with engine mechanics, just never cottoned on to suspension apart from the basic's...

Cheers,

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
