Hi everyone,

as the topic states i'm new to SAU. I have owned quite a few heavily modified cars in the past, but have always wanted a GTR.I purchased a lightly modified R33 GTR V-SPEC about a month ago. The person I purchased the car off had let it go a little and I've just about got it back to a respectful state now. It has the following modifications:

black & red leather interior

Nismo 320km/h dash

various interior gadgets nismo shifter nd handbrake etc

Greddy front mount intercooler and pipe kit

Greddy lightlweight pulleys

N1 roller bearing turbo's

Apexi pod filters

3 1/2 inch turbo back exhaust

candy apple red rocker covers

R34 GTR wheels

I have big plans for the car, as i suppose as everyone does when they first buy one, but im currently trying to make a decision on which coilovers to purchase, as that is first on the hit list. Shortly followed by a new alarm system.

Hi Shannon.

Looking Nice indeed.

Since you mentioned coilovers thought it couldnt hurt to get some help!

Depending on your plans - you will need to go different set up from word go. If you are chasing BIG power you will need something fully adjustably. Camber/Caster/Toe.

Reason being - Big power application will obviously struggle fro traction (no tooo bad in 4wd though). So by adjusting toe out just a touch and a good small amount of castor, you will get the car to hunker down under accelaration & actually be straigtening the wheels for awesome straight line accel.

If you want something OEM feeling and just plain versatile, a set of Nismo S or R tunes are the way to go. A little bit set and forget, but nismo just get things right!

Best of luck

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
