No Crust Racing Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 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.

No Crust Racing Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Cheers, what i can't find is factory camber, castor, toe etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/467944-r34-gtr-suspension-settings/#findComment-7794582 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmknights93 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 BC ER's are quite firm and are designed for more track use rather than street duties. BR's would be a more suitable choice for a street driven GTR.

No Crust Racing Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 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.

No Crust Racing Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 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.

Sick_R31 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I typed "R34 gtr factory suspension settings" into google and that was the second result i got.

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.

No Crust Racing Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 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.

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/467944-r34-gtr-suspension-settings/#findComment-7794958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Crust Racing Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 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.

niZmO_Man Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 From memory, factory R32 GT-R camber settings are -0.5° front and -1.5° rear. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/467944-r34-gtr-suspension-settings/#findComment-7795019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
