Changing Standard Rear Shocks - More Dramas

[blackprincegts]

Hey everyone.

I had to replace a leaky right hand rear shock on my r32 gts t in order to please regency park after being defected. Anyway its a November 92 build and i ordered in a brand new gabriel rear shock that was listed for all r32's gts,gts-t. anyway, the shock i got has the round eyelet on the bottom and my gts t has the gtr style fork mount. Someone has either changed the hub in the past or its just another one of those things nissan do as ivcome across lots of weird combos of parts in my time of owning 3 r32's.

I know similar things like this have been covered in the past but i couldnt find my exact answer i need. Considering that i have the fork mount setup should i just be looking into getting a stock gtr strut ?

im in a bit of a hurry now to get this sorted as the car has been defected for atleast 6 weeks now.

cheers

Is your car a GTS-4 by any chance? A GTS-4 that was converted to RWD? Because the GTS-4's use the GTR suspensions.

Sorry I don't have an answer to your question.

nah justa gts t.. i found some gtr rear struts but just not sure if they will be the same as what i have, bolt up looks the same but length wise and all that iv got no idea if they will fit

AFAIK, that bottom mount is the only difference between GT-R and GTSt shocks.

It's likely a previous owner has fitted a GT-R rear cradle.

ok thats good news.. .. atleast its not some obscure part i have to find..

can anyone else confirm whether or not the rear struts from gts t to gtr are the same dimensions and just have a different lower mount ?

cheers!
