Want to know what coil-overs will fit into what cars? Can't see the search tab? Lol. Try the following.

According to the threads above, the following coil-overs should be interchangeable:

R34:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R34 GTT and R34 GTR

R34 GTR and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS-4 and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS (non turbo)and all R33?

R33:

R33 GTR (BCNR33) and R33 GTS-4

R33 GTR and R34 GTT

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTT *fronts only*

R33 GTR and R33 GTST *fronts only*

R33 GTS (non turbo) and R33 GTS25-T

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTR

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTS-4

R33 and R34 GTS (non turbo)?

R32:

R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R32 GTR and R32 and GTS-T *fronts only*

R32 GTR and R32 GTS4

NOTE:This isn't my information, just collected threads with the intention of helping people looking to buy coil-overs. I'm simply trying to find what coil-overs will fit into my car (94 S1 R33 GTS non turbo), and ended up with this thinking others might use it considering i've found 16 relevant topics on the same thing, and there's alot more as I only did a few basic searches to get an idea. There's so many contradicting statements and "fronts will, rears won't", different mounting types, and the fact that the above is just based on bolt-in fitment, nothing to do valving, spring rates etc. I could ramble on, but I think you get the idea that i tried to make this as a guide for people, as per the topic description, and i'm happy to edit the post if people can add things such as "I bolted R32 GTR front coilovers into my R34 GTST no worries",and also as I get more motivated to sift through the remaining topics from more searches. But honestly, the whole thing is a head f***, so just buy coilovers to fit your car and be happy. :blink:

nice thread, ive been thinking this section needs a compatibility thread for a while now, not just coilovers either. should sticky it

Cheers mate. Any help appreciated in making it more accurate, as stated above, as at the moment it's just a few posts correlated into a list. If people could measure and post up the factory upper mount type, stud number, stud pattern and distance, as well as lower mounting description/type i'll edit that in too.

And can someone with a R33 GTS non turbo confirm that R33 GTS-T coilovers/struts will bolt in? I'm having difficulty finding any listings other than GTS-T stuff. I just want a basic street spec damper, non-adjustable to avoid getting the wrong kind of attention, that will take a 30mm King spring lowering spring. Instead I ended up with this thread. :(

R32:

R32 GTR and R32 and GTS-T *fronts only*

R32 GTR and R32 GTS4

well i can confirm these, 32 also fits Aus spec R31 rears.

the R33 stuff sounds right if i remember right, but my memory is too shit to say a definite on it.

R34:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R34 GTT and R34 GTR

R34 GTR and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS-4 and R33 GTS-T

R34 GTS (non turbo)and all R33?

R33:

R33 GTR (BCNR33) and R33 GTS-4

R33 GTR and R34 GTT

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTT *fronts only*

R33 GTR and R33 GTST *fronts only*

R33 GTS (non turbo) and R33 GTS25-T

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTR

R33 GTS-T and R34 GTS-4

R33 and R34 GTS (non turbo)?

R32:

R32 GTS-T and R33 GTS-T *front only*

R32 GTR and R32 and GTS-T *fronts only*

R32 GTR and R32 GTS4

Ok, as I read it:

R34 GTT and R33 GTR

R34 GTT fits R34 GTR

R33GTR fits R34 GTR

R34 GTR fits R33 GTS-4

But then R34 GTR fits R33 GTS-T.... and then etc etc for R33 gts-ts

Is that right? So R33 GTS-T fit R33 GTR, because R34 first R33 GTS-T :):down:

Issues i see here is you say r34 GTT and GTR are interchangeable but then say GTT and r33 GTST aren't fully interchangeable but the r34 GTR and R33 GTST is seems like something might not be right there

Yeah mate, I just went through a heap of posts and ^listed^ what I found, like I said at the bottom I don't know if any of the information is accurate, and I didn't cross-reference either. :D

With r34 gtt you'll need r33 Gtst front shocks and r33/34 gtr rears, see if you can just order pairs instead

R33/34 gtr fronts will also fit, but not recommended only because they are roughly 20mm shorter shocks standard with higher rates.

Not sure about those teins since they are height adjustable plus the shocks are designed to run much higher spring rates anyway

that is front n rear?

yes, both fit. Currently running a set of hks's in mine to suit bnr32. Only difference is pillowball mounts, r32 is circular, z32 is oval so may need to trim an r32 set if fitting to a z32.

edit: Pillowball difference only applies to fronts too

Little unsure what your asking.

The issue is the r32 circular front pillowball mounts tend to be a bit wider than the oval z32 ones (but not always so test fit beefore chopping!) so will not fit against the inner side of the guard. Thus one side of the mount needs a slight trim.

Z32 coilovers however should fit into a bnr32 or gts4 with no issues at all.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
