Hi Guys, really need to sort this out, I have 1994 GTS4, I have tried to get standers GTS4 suspension wihtout any luck. Both my front and rear suspension has "EYE" fitting, so can I fit front GTR and rear GTST suspension in to my one (GTR rear suspension got "FOLK" fiting)? will it work fine?........if not please tell me a combination that will work...

Its allmost imposible to find origianl standers suspension for R33 GTS4 :)

Any Ideas Guys?

i have a mate who has the exact the same problem as you do.... if you work it out, PM me!

i've heard various stories, one of which, is that you'll need the stagea front end??? not sure if theres a difference between the stagea and GTR, but i suggest you throughly research this before making a decision....

good luck!

GTS4 has been doomed from the begining :O , One thing for sure I know is 95% car mechanics/suspension workers think GTS4 is same as GTS or GTST when it comes to suspension, which is so wrong!!!! make sure when you go to a meahcnic to inform him this is a GTS4 4WD, not a GTS or GTST.

Well at the moment thesea re the finiding I got.

1.KYB, Pedders, Monroe or Koni doesnt make any suspension for GTS4 or GTR model, so there is no hope

2.I found Blistein has got some for 4WD, GTR but when it comes to GTS4 rearshoskers mounting is different(EYE), so has to use the shockers for GTST rear.

3.Immpossible to find stock R33 GTS4 suspension

4. coilover is the only anwer to this? :rant: .........cant be,,,,,cant be.

5. dasladmv told me that in his R33 GTS4, he has used KYB R32 front and KYB R33 GTS rear, and for the last 18 months he didnt have a trouble with it. Im yet to confirm with him the exat details........................maybe this is the break through I've been waiting for :thumbsup:

thats all for now, let you know more details when it comes.

Guys,,

Thanks to dasladmv, he confirmed the following.

in his own words he said

" ive got the r32 gts shockers in the front and r33 gts ones in the rear. Im not sure if there is anydifference between gts and gtst shockers though...Im not sure what the spring rate is. When I was looking for king springs they told me I could get

a) standand height ones

b) springs which were a little lower while maintaining some comfort

c) super low springs which were a pretty rough ride.

I went for the springs which were a little lower while maintaining some comfort and Im pretty happy with them. Handling is improved and the ride is comfortable enough for daily driving."

Hope this will be a eye opener for the rest of R33 GTS4 owners.......

dasladmv thanks again buddy.

    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!  
    • Turbo gods, some assistance and recommendations please I'm looking into a turbo kit for my 2.5 from MX5 Mania >>>>> https://mx5mania.com.au/products/copy-of-mx-5-nc-2-5-litre-engine-conversion-turbo-2005-2013 Power wise I would like about 200kw atw, and of course dose noises, apparently if you keep a stock 2.5 under around 200kwatw the engine and drivetrain will not hate life even when ragging on it a bit Max RPM on the 2.5 is around 6500rpm The turbo MX5 use is something around the disco potato size as  packaging room for the turbo is pretty limited, which will, I believe, give me my power goals I want and not have the turbo either under, or oversized, but the rear housing bit is confusing  It comes with either a 0.64 or 0.86 From my understanding, which so far is based off googling, so make of that what you will 0.64: spools faster = good Makes more EGT heat on boost = bad Less topend power than 0.86 = I'm only looking for 200 atw so that point may be mute????, I don't know, hence my questions  0.86: Spools a "little" slower = how much slower??? remembering 6500 is my max rpm Makes less EGT heat = good Makes a little more power up top = again, power goals is only around 200 Also, this is a street car, so there will not really be any long track sessions, in saying this I would want it so it was happy with at least 3 hot laps at Wakefield Park if the need arises  I already have a fancy pants triple pass radiator, and a oil cooler with thermostat will be getting installed as well Thanks for any information or recommendations you have 👍, and of course, the comments about me wasting money on drive in drive out modifications, or any other snide remarks about my manhood for owning a MX5 🤣    
    • Tape some wool onto the vent then take it for a drive I did this to my reverse cowl and was instantly unhappy, as anything over about 60kph would have the wool enter the engine bay, thus just adding underbonnet pressure and stooging my coolant stack, it did let alot of heat out when stationary though, which really didn't help once the car was moving, with the reverse cowl you could watch the coolant temps cheap up the faster you went on the hwy, I assume it would be alot worse doing track day speed With the vented bonnet (just after the radiator and about 1/3 up the bonnet) on my old R33 the wool on the leading edge sat at about a 45° angle as air poured out of it From looking where your vents are, and their size, I believe you should be fine at speed and air should be evacuated from the engine bay, I think it will be a night and day difference when stuck in traffic though for removing the trapped heat, and not sitting there cooking when parked up after driving around... #convection  Post wool tuft pics and data for science  This beastie is one nice and unique rig, enjoy
