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.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
