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 ;)

BR mate..... A few that have them said they are worth the extra $150 up from the entry level...... They are only $1299 delivered from what i can find, unless you've seen any cheaper?

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 Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
