Hey.. Just looking up coilovers, i'll probably go with the BC BR's for my R34 GTT but just wondering if anyone has heard anything about these Emotion coilovers - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EMOTION-SUSPENSION-COILOVER-DAMPER-KIT-F-R-NISSAN-SKYLINE-R34-GTT-1998-2001-/120940699640?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c28a09ff8#ht_1310wt_922

Cheaper by $125 so i know i'd be best to go with the tried n true BC's but just thought i'd ask.... Mainly want coilovers to lower my car a few inches and also stiffen the suspension up for street use and the occasional track day. Cheers.

I'd been searching coilovers as I've just stuffed my rear ones in the GTT, could get them rebuilt but I think I'll just go to the BCs... The link shows they are from a warehouse type place which means tech support or warranty if anything goes wrong is probably limited, also doesn't mention if they are able to be rebuilt etc..... I would suggest sticking with the tried and tested product ;)

Yep, BR's mate. You'd be crazy to get the V1's for the sake of $100.

And that price that Matt found, that's crazy stuff!

Yep was about to order at $1299 and then did a last minute google which led me to a Scooby forum and then onto Pauls website! SCORE!

I love them

Did you have other coilovers in the car prior? For a comparison? I've been running Teins and I was told they are similar.....

Ive ran coilovers in other cars, the gtr was upgraded from good old stock vspec suspension. And ill tell you on half dampening stiffness, these BC BR's are more comfortable.

I was also in my mates 32 with teins and far out they were stiff as f**k

Mine aren't too stiff, it's just the rears that shat themselves.... Really looking forward to these now.... Is there a recommended dampner setting? I read some are stiffer in the fronts?

You won't regret it man, the BC's have a really good range of dampner. On full soft they are really comfortable, bit stiffer than the old King springs that used to be on mine. On full hard they are rock solid, but not as hard as the Tein's wound all the way up.

I was told when setting mine up to have the dampner at the front a little bit harder, to compensate for the weight of the engine. So I usually have my fronts on about 22, rears on 15. I soften them up a bit when I go to the track.

How do you work out what spring height adjustments before you install them, or is it a matter or adjusting them in the car?

The way I did it was I had a basic idea of how much further I wanted to lower it when I installed them, then I set them to the same height as my old springs and then lowered them by how much I wanted. That was with everything out of the car. Then when I lowered it later I did it on the car. Takes about an hour or so to do on the car, so it's no big deal. Just getting all four corners the same can be a bit tedious.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      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
