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.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
