Just looking for some help on choosing a suspension setup for my R34 25GT-T, I've been told that alot of kits are so poorly designed that they have ended up snaping, so am looking for past experiences with different setups.

List me some brands and prices and what your experience with these setups has been like.

Thanks Jared.

I will make this one easy for you from my experiences

Street - A bilstein set up if you don' t like coilovers with height adjustment, TEIN SS's latest model will be very nice and a very comfortable ride indeed, BC BR's or RS's if you want a reasonably firm ride with good adjustment!

I have had all of the above in my 34 sedan, all are and have been a great set up, currently running my new BR RS's from BC, love em and really transfers the weight well, a little soft for hardcore track work but nice enuf.

Drift/Track work- Go for a coilover with higher spring rates 10/8kg or more if you like it ruff. HSD would be good value for money here.

Hpoe this helps!

Thanks for the replys, im leaning towards coilovers atm. I just wanna lower my car close to 2 inches.

Currently getting new camber and bushes installed.

And will most likely get some whiteline swaybars.

Just stumped on coilover choice, anyone got some prices for me - new and 2nd hand would be nice.

Cheers Jared.

    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
