Done a search and I presume I should be looking for gtr coilovers? WIll the Gtst coilovers fit, have mixed reports. Some say front will fit but rear not. Some say no altogether.

Mate has a set of front coilovers lying around from a long time ago that I can have but is unsure what model they are from (gtr or gts), any way of telling or will it not matter?

You sure about that? The GTS4 has the same front suspension and driveshafts as the GTR, hence would be more likely to need the same suspension uprights. Meanwhile, the rear, it was my understanding, was the same attachment style as the GTSt, rather than being the same as GTR.

The front suspension is the only place where a GTR needed to be different to a GTST. The GTR rear is different, just 'coz.

We are talking shock absorber / spring assembly. The other components of the front and rear suspension are totally independent of the shock / spring assembly.

According to an old KYB catalogue I have, the (R32) GT-R / GTSt have the same P/N for the front shock, and a different P/N for the rear, with a special note about the lower bracket mount type for the GT-R (GT-R uses a 'fork' attachment, GTSt uses the 'eye' attachment).

The R32 GTS4 uses GT-R suspension components. If you owned one, you would know all about the differences.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
