R34 GTR suspension settings?

Has anyone got the factory specs for comparison? 

Also what would be recommended for a street car that's only driven occasionally. 

Has coilovers, (BC ER whichare quite firm) looks like subframe collars and a rear sway bar, 275 rubber. 110mm at the lowest point (mid muffler), Upper arms look stock from a quick glance.

I was looking at going MCA as I know BC are just cheap coilovers but these look to be in very good condition and "work" for now. 

I do suggest doing research on both brands. I think you'll find that the components from both brands come from the same factory overseas.

There are some variances between the two brands though.

Care to share more on this? That's a pretty big claim, though to be fair, parts coming from the same factory means nothing in terms of what specs those parts are created with. 

I'm just saying they're essentially the same coilover using the same components, but are obviously built to different specs depending on the kit choice. Custom modifications can be made from both brands.

That's a starting point, which I had already found after posting the thread. 

I'm now more interested in suggested settings for capable street car. 

All my suspension work has been on the Silvia, different chassis suspension style.

I would like some evidence of this?

Comparing the 2, they are of completely different construction....

Yeah found that, only answers one part of my question.

Below is my set up based loosely on suggestions from SK. The Stagea has basically the same set up as GTR. ( For track only I change the front camber to neg 3deg which works great but is no good on the road)

Nissan Stagea RS4T

     
       
Front      
       
    Before Target
       
Caster Left   positive 6 degrees
       
  Right   positive 5.75 degrees
       
Camber Left   1.5 degree negative
       
  Right   1.5 degree negative
       
Toe in Left   1mm toe out
       
  Right   1mm toe out
       
Rear      
       
Camber Left   Negative 2.0 degrees
       
  Right   Negative 2.0 degrees
       
Toe in Left   0-1mm
       
  Right   0-1mm

Thanks, that's about what I was expecting with the exception of more neg rear camber than front? 

Yep for street use (on my wagon) - you may want to progressively increase it from zero to see what's best for you.

Was gonna ask the same question as I thought it was odd. I generally only run between 1-1.5 on the rear.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
