Will R33 Gtr Springs Fit An R33 Gtst

[Veilside R33]

Hey guys,

I need a definate yes or no answer if 33 gtr springs will fit a 33 gtst

I bought the springs from someone on the forums about a year ago and i was told that they were 33 gtr springs and was told by a couple of people that they would fit straight onto my Gtst, now heres where it gets messed up.........

I went to put the springs on my car yesterday with the help of Supafly from the forums and they are the wrong ones, there was no way that these springs would fit my 33. So if gtr springs will fit a gtst and these didn't fit, i will have been ripped off. If they wont' fit a gtst then i have just been incorrectly informed by some friends and im ok with that.

But if i have been lied to by the seller then i'll take action to rectify it.

Nowhere near enough information to make a call here. Let's start with;

Exactly why don't they fit?

Dimensions?

Standard springs?

Or aftermarket springs?

Front springs or rear springs?

What shocks are you trying to fit them too?

What shocks did the springs comes off?

You also need to be aware of this post for a guy with an R32 trying to fit R32GTR springs. Most of it applies to R33's as well.

GTR's weigh ~200kgs more than a GTST, almost all of it carried by the front wheels.

The front spring rate on a GTST is around 3kg/mm, so the lower weight would mean around 66mm (200 kgs / 3 kg/mm) higher if you stuck GTR front springs in a GTST.

It's not simply springs, the shocks (mounts and spring seat heights) are different as well.

Maybe I can simplify this a little bit, Nissan didn't want people to pinch bits of GTR's and use them on GTST's. That would deminish the value of buying a GTR, you wouldn't pay the extra $ if you could simply swap bits over easily. So Nissan DELIBERATELY made lots of stuff (the good bits) on GTR's different so they won't fit on other Skylines.

Hi I was helping to put them in

they were king springs super lows, trying to fit to what i beleive were the standard shocks, the "bottom" of the spring was too small (diameter) to even it over the dust cover, let alone sit on the "perch" it wasnt physically going to fit
