Ello,

Im currently looking for a set of used coil overs for my 93 series 1 R33 Gtst.. Anyone have any recommendations on where I can find a set at a reasonable price?

Also does anyone know if you can just install coil overs made for an R33 GTR? (as alot of website label the coil overs "Suit R33 GTR")......

Thanks,

GTR 1's won't fit mate. I've bought a set of Tein Type Flex for my ECR33. They seem like good value. I ordered through a Japanese company and should be here any day. The cheapest Tein's are the Super Street and they should do a good job. Nengun's prices are competitive.

Have you spent any time in a car with Jap Brand coilovers? They mostly seem to be way too hard for Aus roads. I went local Whiteline/DMS and in my opinion even they are to stiff for local roads. They handle fine but you get sick of the bangs and jolts.

GTR ones can fit. What you have to do is to chop the base eye bolt fitting off your stock shocks and weld it onto the base (between the forks) of the GTR shocks. The height of the shock is the same in most cases (as far as i know). If it saves you say more than 20% the cost, then i'd do it.

Thanks for the advice, and i thought i was asking a stupid question! lucky i asked before buying.... :wassup:

Heres another quickie,

My cars a little bouncey atm, just wondering if i raised my car up an inch (back to 2") would the car still bounce like a rabbit on heat? I know the shocks are on their way out....

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
