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 just had a quick look at the bottom of the suspension on my car, they have the eyelet connection on both front and back.. Which doesnt look like whats in the picture of this

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 ;)

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
