The front might be a little low but i reckon if the coilovers are height adjustable, they will still be fine? Correct me if i'm wrong though.

The shocks are quite different lengths, plus the springs rates are much high for GTR's (and GTS4's) due to their higher front weight.

all skyline RWD = all four eye type coilovers

all 4wd skyline = front-eye type rear-fork type

with regards to the topic if they are same rwd it will fit, but the height to weight ratio of 33 and 34 is a big difference.

Wrong

R34GTT, which is 2wd, has forks on the rear shocks.

4wd (GtR and GTS4) front shocks are much shorter so as to make clearance for the front driveshafts.

Ok im just tryn confirm this issue aswel, ive got sum hks adjusties coming outa my r33 coupe and planning to go into an r34 gt, so an rb20 not a gtt. so going on what ur saying r34 gt will be eye type? also will i come into any length issues in the shocks between the two cars? i guess it will be overcome by adjusting the collars anyway. cheers for any help guys.

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
