 car is 1998 GTT R34, people in the USA can't give me a straight answer. 

Example of email I got back from them:



James,
We are not 100% certain but the d-18 part number ought to be the correct one if I am not mistaken. Seen here:
https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/bc-racing-br-type-coilover-for-98-01-nissan-r34-gts-d-18.html

If they are un aware I wouldn't know what direction to point you in other then forums to see if the gts and gtt are the same for coil overs. Apologies for not being of more help. Let us know if you have any other questions or if you want to get a order going. Thanks!

Regards,

So, who here has a R34GTT and can confirm these work.    I got a similar reply from BC Racing themselves.     I find this rather hilarious. 
 

GTT uses a fork type rear mount
GTS uses a bushing

Ask for a photo of the rear shock mounting point at the base, pics in my build thread of what a GTT shock should look like here:

Jordy's info is right. I wouldn't buy from that site, especially if they list the R34 as a "GTS"

Grab a set from Justjap and get them shipped to the States, it all has to be shipped to the USA one way or another as it's all coming from Taiwan. That way you will absolutely get the correct part.

Right, but did you guys not read what I said.  BC racing told me they didn't know, and their reseller (a rather popular one in the US) also doesn't know.  

I was asking if there was any owners that had them could verify what they ordered so I can get this squared away, and then get back to these companies, because either they hire idiots that don't know their products, or nothing works for the GTT.   

They absolutely would know,  you wouldn't even need to contact JJ as much as you could buy the direct part from their site.

Not hard to look under your car at your current setup (whether it's eyelet or fork type).

You could have literally figured it out by the time you created this thread.

The company doesn't know because it slaps generic monotube dampers and springs onto hundreds of different types of mounts.

I know they are fork coilovers!  I've known for quite some time.  I was asking what part numbers actual owners used because I couldn't get a straight answer from BC, nor one of their biggest resellers. 

So, I figured, taking the advice of the reseller, I would ask here from someone who ACTUALLY OWNS THEM before I order something that they can't give me a straight answer on.

I used to run a giant nissan forum, so here I am updating my thread so it actually helps search engines.  I also made a 'tech' video that might help some people that are new to the R34 Chassis.  I ordered Stance coilovers from Enjuku Racing.  They work just fine!  
 

 

It was still a little strange that nobody at Enjuku or BC racing could answer with confidence what part number I needed at the time.  So they just sent me a set and it turned out to work fine.   LOL  

You're question was answered above? I don't see why this dragged out for so long.. Also for future reference to others, JJ won't sell BC products to overseas customers.

D-18 (Fork type)
D-72 (Eyelet type)

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
