I'll be the first to say I no nothing about suspension..... anyhow I am buying this R34 4 Door and have inspected it...... It looks to me like it has been lowered but I have nothing to compare it too! Just wondering if some R34 owners or those for a keen eye for suspension could take a look at the attached pics for me and give me their opinions? Help is greatly appreciated.....

One of the pics belowshows a flash of green through the wheel (is this after market suspenson? If so should I be concerned about anything?

Three [pics] below

green is normally associated with TEINS suspension

Yeah I thought that the green colour wouldn't be a factory item in any of the suspension parts, so maybe like you said I might be lucky.

Does anyone know exactly what that green thing is in the picture? (technical term, like is it the coils?)

BTW Thanks for the nice comments on the car (its at compliance ATM then detailers, I'm told its mine in 2 weeks)

The green thing should be the strut.

Ok great thanks for that!

N15mo I got to see the car in the flesh a couple of days ago and took about 25 photos with my cyber-shot. Since then I've been going over everything again.

Another question on this matter then, if the car is fitted with a better aftermarket suspension would the compliancers have any reason to take them off or exchange them etc? Better make sure I get everything I can, I asked to have my Xenons kept and they said that they have to change them for compliance, fair enough. But then I asked them If I could get them put into a box and given back to me and was told that they have to cut them out some how to replace them and they would be worthless? I dont know the truth in that but anyhow?

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
