Difference In R33 Gts-4 And Gtr

[33jap]

hey everyone, ive recently purchased a set of bc br coilovers

i ordered a set of gtr coilovers under the impression they would be the ones to suit as the gts4 has the same driveline.

only now to realise that the gts4 rear shocks have the same lower mount as gtst

the front have already been fitted with no hassle's but this means i wont be able to return the coilovers.

anyone know if the gtr rear stub axle will bolt up to the gts4 to be able to accomadate the gtr coilover lower mounts?

any info would be much appreciated im going to try and return them but since the front have been fitted i doubt they will take them.

From factory it has GTS-t in rear and GTR in the front.

Its the same driveline exept for gear ratios but the suspension is a mix or everything, to do it you will need to fit HICAS if you want to do this as the GTS-4 (r33 and r34 GT-4 are one of the only skylines to not come with HICAS) also changeing the brakes and wheels\hubs and handbrake.....it gets expensive and you wouldnt do that for that mount, it makes no difference to a GTS-t one.

I am using Greddy coilover for a GTS-t and the rear ones are a perfect fit and the front ones fit fine aswell but i dont have much more to lower my car only 1cm of thread on the coilover, but it is a fairly low car as you can see in my pics so its plenty to play with. There is no mechanical problem using GTS-t coilover in the front the only difference is a GTR one is shorter for the front driveshaft. Try returning the coilovers as they did not fit and under new consumer laws i doubt it will be a problem, just exchange them for GTS-t ones.

cheers, ive only owned it for a couple weeks so just getting to know the in's n out's of it, it gets confusing what parts fit what as justjap had no selection for gts4 only gtst and gtr...

had a look at a few pics and wish i had noticed gtr rear shocks have fork type mount and gtst is an eyelet mount. owell hopefully they can be returned, thanks for the help.

I think you should be able to change the hubs to get the fork type mount for the shock but haven't actually done it myself so not 100% at this point!

problem solved guys just going to exchange the lower mount of the shocks, thankfully bc made their coilovers so they could just be screwed off the bottom, will be swapping the gtr type fork mount for a gtst type eyelet mount yew

Will find out next week anyways,

R33 GTS4's come with hicas I can vouch for this cause I installed a hicas Lockout bar on my R33 GTS4
