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!

Bilstein: although check if your rear mounting is eyelet

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 :)

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
