 car is 1998 GTT R34, people in the USA can't give me a straight answer. 

Example of email I got back from them:



James,
We are not 100% certain but the d-18 part number ought to be the correct one if I am not mistaken. Seen here:
https://www.enjukuracing.com/products/bc-racing-br-type-coilover-for-98-01-nissan-r34-gts-d-18.html

If they are un aware I wouldn't know what direction to point you in other then forums to see if the gts and gtt are the same for coil overs. Apologies for not being of more help. Let us know if you have any other questions or if you want to get a order going. Thanks!

Regards,

So, who here has a R34GTT and can confirm these work.    I got a similar reply from BC Racing themselves.     I find this rather hilarious. 
 

GTT uses a fork type rear mount
GTS uses a bushing

Ask for a photo of the rear shock mounting point at the base, pics in my build thread of what a GTT shock should look like here:

Jordy's info is right. I wouldn't buy from that site, especially if they list the R34 as a "GTS"

Grab a set from Justjap and get them shipped to the States, it all has to be shipped to the USA one way or another as it's all coming from Taiwan. That way you will absolutely get the correct part.

Right, but did you guys not read what I said.  BC racing told me they didn't know, and their reseller (a rather popular one in the US) also doesn't know.  

I was asking if there was any owners that had them could verify what they ordered so I can get this squared away, and then get back to these companies, because either they hire idiots that don't know their products, or nothing works for the GTT.   

They absolutely would know,  you wouldn't even need to contact JJ as much as you could buy the direct part from their site.

Not hard to look under your car at your current setup (whether it's eyelet or fork type).

You could have literally figured it out by the time you created this thread.

The company doesn't know because it slaps generic monotube dampers and springs onto hundreds of different types of mounts.

I know they are fork coilovers!  I've known for quite some time.  I was asking what part numbers actual owners used because I couldn't get a straight answer from BC, nor one of their biggest resellers. 

So, I figured, taking the advice of the reseller, I would ask here from someone who ACTUALLY OWNS THEM before I order something that they can't give me a straight answer on.

I used to run a giant nissan forum, so here I am updating my thread so it actually helps search engines.  I also made a 'tech' video that might help some people that are new to the R34 Chassis.  I ordered Stance coilovers from Enjuku Racing.  They work just fine!  
 

 

It was still a little strange that nobody at Enjuku or BC racing could answer with confidence what part number I needed at the time.  So they just sent me a set and it turned out to work fine.   LOL  

You're question was answered above? I don't see why this dragged out for so long.. Also for future reference to others, JJ won't sell BC products to overseas customers.

D-18 (Fork type)
D-72 (Eyelet type)

    • I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.   
    • 300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile
    • A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.   
    • I'm looking for a direct bolt on turbo upgrade for my 93 R33 GTST.  Anyone have experience with this Greddy T620Z turbo upgrade? I'd like to be able to run about 300hp to the rear wheels without putting too much strain on the turbo. I do daily drive the car.  Pretty stock car with basic bolt ons (exhaust outlet, down pipe, high flow cat and catback exhaust along with intake and FMIC).  I'l probably have a Haltech plug n play on the car before installing the turbo. https://www.greddy.com/products/turbo-upgrade-ecr33-er34-t620z-rb25-11520057   Also, any thought on this much boost on a 30 year old motor with 250,000KMs?  Engine feels/sounds strong for what it's worth.   Thanks you in advance!
