I just want to have final clarification before i order a set of coilovers for a 98 rwd er34 non turbo skyline, as i find no one that list a set that will fit a non turbo r34 25gt, only gtt or gtr and i know the botton connection is different as the gt have a eye and not the fork like gtt and gtr.

is it correct that any set for r33 gtst would be correct and fit a 98 er34 non turbo?

such as these ?

Don't buy that brand, there are many reports of them bending/snapping.

TEIN Flex Z: VSK68-C1SS3

You can find other brands (depending on your location), but don't cheap out on something so vital to safety.

Yes. It was final decades ago.

unfortunately, some of us in other countries have to wait 25 years to import these cars...

 

ok, r33 gtst compatible coilovers  for my R34 it is, I have been looking at: 

any experience with these?

Not direct experience, but they are at the good end of the cheap range of suspension, would be fine for street use (assuming that is your need, you didn't mention race/rally/drag/drift etc)

You wouldn't bother with it on a R34 Non turbo.

They're _alright_.

You got to remember, AU/JPN has had a 25 year head start on R&D and Skylines in the USA are going to be even more niche, weird, and rare on the ground than they are here. Especially R34's which were always considerably the rarest of the bunch.

It'd be similar (identical exactly) to me looking for C5 Vette coilovers or mods in Australia.

... anyone wanna swap my V8 R34 for a Vette? Cmon do it.

3 grand Ozzie. About 2K greenbacks, plus freight to the home of the free.

I just spent more than that on a clutch and a tailshaft. Coilovers are much more sexy. Spend the money.

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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
