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 :)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
