Hey guys,

Although i am in the UK, hoping you guysc an help me out with identifying some OEM shock absorbers i can get for my R34 GTT.
I tried looking at the KYB & Monroe website for OEM parts (i got a standard R34 GTT) , but nothing shows up  :(

I cant imagine the the GTT has specific shock absorbers that no other car uses  (I wonder, given the rear brake rotors on the GTT are the same as the Z32  300zx/Fairlady , wonder if the shocks are ?? )
Trying to either find the Nissan OEM number, or the KYB part number for the shocks, or any standard OEM spec shocks i can use ?

Any ideas ?
:)

Do you want to be cheap? Or do you want to buy decent dampers? Because Bilstein B6 is the minimum that I would recommend for direct fit dampers.

Nothwithstanding that, I just typed "r34 kyb rear" into google and the first 2 hits were for an eBay listing and the actual web shop of this crowd here in Oz offering this https://www.superspares.com.au/2-rear-kyb-new-sr-special-shock-absorbers-for-niss~12193763

 

cheers for reply, not looking for cheap, just oem (standard car).....
I found the original part numbers last night, and the SR range of KYB for the R34 GTT  (same as your link)..

The idea was to buy OEM shocks, and add my Tein S springs to the shocks (already bought the springs before my pal told me i got x2 leaky shocks) .....
Being in the UK, coilovers are easier to obtain that shocks!

Those Bilsteins above are for the GT with eyelet bottom. The GTT has fork bottom, like the GTR. But you can get B6s and B8s for GTRs, so I can't see that there would be too much trouble getting one for the GTT. I mean, superficially, you could just put the GTR one in. It will fit.

cheers guys
Turns out, i need to send my springs back to the supplier, and get coilovers instead...
And yes,I was looking at OEM (nissan), or a manufacturer that made OEM spec shocks for the car..
As said, mine is standard, but at the same time, was trying to keep my costs less when buying shock absorbers, compared with buying Coilovers....

The B6 & KYB SR shocks, even the Nissan OEM shocks = cost more than Tein Street Advance Coilovers.....
So end result is, i need to switch anyway....
Cheers for the replies though guys :)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
