Wow. You're in your 30's and complaining about the gtr being uncomfortable?

Soft man, soft.

*Looks at the suspension in the car...*

I see the issue here. :D

With a lovely chassis like the 34 with some decent rubber and power, the valving performance offered with the X-R series I feel would be ideal. 

The Blue series are an excellent package for the price point but are a street/comfort orientated style setup that when using your car for even spirited street driving may not offer the support needed with your level of rubber and the AWD. Blue series are $1590 inc GST and come with default spring rates of 9kg front and 3.5kg rear.

The difference between the X-R and X-C is all in the valving, this determines how a shock works and gives it its characteristics. The X-C series are developed for comfort and ride quality only, so again I feel if wanting to exploit your chassis and power this would be a little lacking compared to the X-R series.

The X-R series paired with the spring rates recommended are aimed at being the best blend between performance and ride quality with only our custom valved Red series offering a better blend.

Nah, get the Blue and tell them street use ;).


Massive difference between my TEIN and Ohlins (all second hand), Ohlins are "street" setup and valved/sprung softer, so driving around is much nicer.

TEIN and current HKS suspension can get airborn, Ohlins rode over them quite nicely (for a short stroke damper).

Would be even better with the "better" R34 chassis. But then I don't know how smooth your roads are compared to Sydney.

A mate bought some Blue for his Evo8, probably more comfortable than the stockers.

Magnificent low Km "IS-F" at Earlwood/Sydney. Silver.
I've driven this one, and it's nowhere in the 90s..., or 80s..., or 70s...

What was your take on it Terry? 

* Response is immediate without hesitation 

* I never used the brakes in quick succession to detect any fade

* Cornering is really good whilst having driven M3s before. Good tyres on the car help of course.

* Power curve through the gears is strong and seamless

* Steering has good feel but it's not as connected compared to a GTR of course.

* Comparable certainly with any  M3 I've driven. So whilst it's a buyers market especially for the next 10 weeks, try it out. when you plant your foot down, the V8 sound is sublime .

    • 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.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
