Just got a 4 door R34 (non turbo), and the stock shocks seem pretty shagged...especially the rears, bottoming out fairly often, rough ride...etc

so am up for replacement, but just wondering what brands / type i should be looking at?? ive been told monroes / pedders will be a waste of money, and to go for kyb / koni or IF i can afford it , some sort of coilovers...

not really sure which way to go, but dont wanna spend TOO much on it, the car is daily driven, but i wouldnt mind if it handled a bit better ! >_<

cheers

I'm sure most people would recommend KYB's/Koni's over Monroe's or Pedders products. When I was searching last month for new suspension not many companies had replacement shocks for NA HR34's. From memory both KYB and Koni didn't have have anything for HR34's and I'm not sure if there will be any coilover options out there either with HSD, ISC catering for ER34 but nothing listed for HR34's.

My advice, search through the suspension company websites product lists, send e-mails or make phone calls to them. Another option is to search the For Sale section on SAu and see if something come up.

You have to remember reggie you have a GT-V model which means you can buy any suspension meant for a GT-T.

Also yours should be an ER34 as well. I ran mine through fast and it came up ER34.

yeah i know chris, mine comes up as ER34 on FAST also. I just didn't want to confuse him with my car being NA but with turbo spec suspension fitted from factory.

No worries mate.

Darkmoon what type of sedan do you have? tried running it through fast?

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
