Hi ther! First off, i wil apolegise for my english wiritng skills so if you have problems with ppl that can't spell for shit, stop reading now!

Ok so now to my problems, I own a Stagea c34 RS4 1997 mod rb25det Automatik (not sure if car is s1 or s2 but know the engien is s2)
Im trying to figure out what shoks and springs i can use on my  car, i know ther is a post for this but it was not spesefied if it was a 2wd or 4wd or if it was auto or not. I have goten som "info" wher it have been "i think its this" but dosent realy cut it for me.
What im looking for is 40mm 40mm lowering springs and dampers (not coilovers) And brakes that fits the car, not upgraded brakes but original, need to know witch car i can get parts from (Stagea dos not exisit in  any database wher i live) 

Sorry if i have written this a bit backwords or realy comfusing! 
Hope somone is abel to help!

If you are in Europe the short answer is Bilsteins. The long answer is:

As for brakes you may be able to find some part numbers in here:'

i am in Eaurop yes, i was reading in that post but foudn nothing about what it was, what i have understood is that ther is a diffrens is rwd and 4wd, so i coud not/did not want to order somthing that coud be wrong

Wil try and se :P

Thanks! Do you happen to know if i can use r33 gtr or gtst brakes on the car? Front and rear?

Figured out i can use r33 gtr shoks and sprinfs in front and r33 gtst in the rear, but its hard to finde lowering kits for r33 that is not coilovers :/

Even tryed my luck at googel translate and googeling :D

I had a series 1 like yours. I had GTR suspension in the front and R34 GTT in the rear (I think!) It's worth reading the Stagea Suspension topic by Sydney Kid to confirm. 

As for brakes, I think any R32, R33, R34 brakes will fit. I had R34 Gtt brakes on mine. Again, others will need to confirm about the GTR brakes though.

Thanks! 

Did read alot of it, and that is wher i found out the thing about the suspension, but gonna read mor of it, original post shoud have been uptated so ppl like me can get away with just reading the first page ?

Almost all the brakes will cross match.  The caveat is that R34s have 14mm bolts (for the most part) where everything prior was 12mm.

Any 2WD Stagea is basically the same gear front and rear as the common-era Skyline.  Any 4WD Stagea is basically the same gear as the matching GTR.  As most things stayed the same between GTRs 32-34, there's a lot that cross match.

All that is important is what type of lower rear shock mount they have and the brake bolt size, for the most part.

When you say brakes you mean pads and rotors which are not interchangeable. Have a look in the thread for some part numbers. If you could find a complete set of GTR or GTT brakes it would make life a little easier (and improve your stopping power).

As for lowering springs you can use Teins (if you can get them):

Front: Tein F-SIN78-010311-HCC

Rear Tein R-SIN79-010382-HCC

which is what I used on my S1 (the later S1 had the neo engine).

The shocks I used were Nismo labelled Bilsteins but I don't know if these numbers will mean much today:

Front: Nismo  6110-RSC45ENP

Rear: Nismo  53210-RSC45ENP

Sorry front shocks are missing a digit...should be 56110-RSC45ENP

    • They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.
    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
