BC BR's. 1200 from JustJap.

You want the eyelet rear mounts for a GT. The rear fork's are for GTT's, and (i think) for any HICAS 34's.

It all depends on the brakes that your car has from the factory.

If it came with the larger brakes off the turbo model, the rear will have a fork mount for the coilover. - You will need R34 GTT coilovers

If it has the small brakes, it will have an eye mount for the coilover - You will need R34 GT or R33 Gtst coilvers

There is a set of Ohlins (aka the good stuff) in excellent condition for 1600 at the moment - they retail for well over $3000, im sure there is some space to negotiate

R34 25GTs (standard non-turbo with normal single-piston brakes) share the same suspension with R33 GTSTs

if you have a R34 GTV (4-pot front brakes that say 'nissan' on them) you will share the same suspension configuration with R34 GTTs & GTRs and R33 GTRs,

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
