Hey guys! Just a quick question.

After my last stage of installments my r33 gtst is now running over 220rwkw, however im having all sorts of trouble putting that power to the ground and before I go for any more power i think it needs to be addressed.

What suspension/handling upgrades are there out there that I should be looking at for my rb25?

I know a good set of tires is an obvious reason and also a reduction in tire pressure also helps but what other ways are there so I can keep it in a straight line? At the moment under full throttle and it cannot hold grip until the beginning of third :/

Cheers!!

After some quick research I have compiled a list of things that would help address this issue and improve overall suspension. What do you guys think? Have I missed anything?

Decent tires (Kuhmo Ku36 for street use)

Front and Rear Coilovers (monovalve)

Castor rods

Front & Rear Camber arms

Adj Tie rod ends

Pineapples

Nolathane Control upper arm inner bushes

Nolathane radius rod adj bushes

Half that list won't actually do anything for straight line traction.

On stock suspension you really should not be having traction issues if you have good tyres and a good alignment. Do those first before doing the rest.

As said above what you listed will help grip or drift where corners are involvrd straightline traction almost goes oposite with softer suspension zettings working better. The adj arms are only used to correct or customise alighnment settings wben you change the geometry for example lowering it.

So just get the tyres and you should find that solves your problem espcially at 220 kw

ahhh!

i am also having the same problem, just found this post while browsing so i havnt done any research yet,

but im also quite confused as my rb25 is still stock just running actuator pressure (nothing over 9psi)

i can take off smoothly (ie. im not dunping the clutch) and as soon as i get the pedel to the floor the ass jumps around like a mofo, if i grab 2nd quickly it keeps spinning the tires till i grab 3rd

as far as i know all my suspension is stock, but the guy i bought it off did say that it was really low when he got it.

ill check the springs tomoro n hope it wasnt a chop job too :S

thanks for the advice ^^^^^ i now have a list to run through :D

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
