R34 GTR suspension settings?

Has anyone got the factory specs for comparison? 

Also what would be recommended for a street car that's only driven occasionally. 

Has coilovers, (BC ER whichare quite firm) looks like subframe collars and a rear sway bar, 275 rubber. 110mm at the lowest point (mid muffler), Upper arms look stock from a quick glance.

I was looking at going MCA as I know BC are just cheap coilovers but these look to be in very good condition and "work" for now. 

I do suggest doing research on both brands. I think you'll find that the components from both brands come from the same factory overseas.

There are some variances between the two brands though.

Care to share more on this? That's a pretty big claim, though to be fair, parts coming from the same factory means nothing in terms of what specs those parts are created with. 

I'm just saying they're essentially the same coilover using the same components, but are obviously built to different specs depending on the kit choice. Custom modifications can be made from both brands.

That's a starting point, which I had already found after posting the thread. 

I'm now more interested in suggested settings for capable street car. 

All my suspension work has been on the Silvia, different chassis suspension style.

I would like some evidence of this?

Comparing the 2, they are of completely different construction....

Yeah found that, only answers one part of my question.

Below is my set up based loosely on suggestions from SK. The Stagea has basically the same set up as GTR. ( For track only I change the front camber to neg 3deg which works great but is no good on the road)

Nissan Stagea RS4T

     
       
Front      
       
    Before Target
       
Caster Left   positive 6 degrees
       
  Right   positive 5.75 degrees
       
Camber Left   1.5 degree negative
       
  Right   1.5 degree negative
       
Toe in Left   1mm toe out
       
  Right   1mm toe out
       
Rear      
       
Camber Left   Negative 2.0 degrees
       
  Right   Negative 2.0 degrees
       
Toe in Left   0-1mm
       
  Right   0-1mm

Thanks, that's about what I was expecting with the exception of more neg rear camber than front? 

Yep for street use (on my wagon) - you may want to progressively increase it from zero to see what's best for you.

Was gonna ask the same question as I thought it was odd. I generally only run between 1-1.5 on the rear.

    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
    • Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷
    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street.
