R34 Coil Over

So I'm new here, and I can imagine its been covered before on this forum. But I can't find a straight forward answer.

The rear suspension in my R34 25GT has gone, and I can easily replace it for roughly $600, but I wanted to put adjustable coil overs in eventually any way, so that is what I'll be doing.

I was going to put Pedders Sports Ryder eXtreme XA Coil Over Suspension into it, But the bloke at Pedders seems to think they will fit onto the rears no problems, but might not fit onto the front for some reason.

Also he is doing a really crap job at getting back to me with an answer, which is why I'm asking here.

Now, I can buy a full set of these for $1520, what I want to know is, will these fit onto my car? (year is 1999 in case that makes a difference) Or is there a better product I can put on there in the same price range? (Can't spend anymore than $1600)

I know I can put on normal suspension for cheaper and it might be better quality, but I'll be putting on a body kit and new rims in less then a year (hopefully) and I don't want to have to change the springs again when this happens, which is a good reason why I want them to be adjustable.

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance

Rears come in 2 sorts. Eye or fork lower mounts. Fronts are the same for all R33's & R34's regardless of variant. Tbh I would be going somewhere else and probably getting something a bit better than pedders. Entry level teins, Silk roads etc.

Apparently I must have eye lower mounts, I'm not using my car for any sort of drift/racing so they don't have to be the best,

How much would it cost for tiens or silk roads? And are they adjustable coil overs?

I don't know much about cars in general so sorry if I sound like an idiot haha

Okay, so I've looked over a couple of other forums posts, and I've narrowed down my search for my price range.

These are what I've come up with

http://www.pedders.com.au/products/52

http://www.isc-coilovers.com/coilovers.html

http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=18623&cat=422&page=9

http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=20209&cat=422&page=9

The last two are the same product I'm pretty sure. Its just that one is a fork type and the other is an eyelet type. I think the 1999 25GT has an eyelet type (If someone could clarify on that it would be great)

Could someone please tell me which of these would be the better one to buy? As I really want my car back on the road ASAP!

Thanks :)

I put bcs in my 33 the other week. Seems to be going ok at the moment.

Get them from street to track. They'll be about $150 cheaper than justjap.

Exactly what i did :thumbsup:

I've got Tein SS on my 34 now, the rears got noisy and collapsed, this is why i am trying the BC's :)

Why don't you get Fulcrum Suspensions in Queensland to rebuild them? TEINs are much better than BCs ;)

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
