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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
