Will R33 Gtr Coil Overs Fit On 2 A Gtst R33???

[85URK]

hi, just looking at some tein adjustable R33 GTR after market secondhand suspension, and was wondering if the suspension will fit on a R33 gtst (95 model) and will it affect any lights on the dash if there are changed???

no, different mounts? GTRs have a yoke, gtst has... something else.

thanx for your info, i just seen some forsale, and was wondering if they were the same suspension on the gtr , well now i know. thanx alot.

yeah, from what I know, the rear shock mounts for GTR have a yoke, whereas GTSt have an eyelet and a bolt goes through that...

I have heard that they can be modified to fit, but don't quote me and get another opinion before you go spending you hard earned $$

cheers

you can cut off the eye and weld it onto the yoke.

Look at A/M shocks, and the manufacturers actually do this, rather than manufacture the casing as one piece for each type of car.

the fronts are a straight fit though.

i agree witht the above,

front fit straight in, and back would have to be modified, tho i wouldnt suggest doing that, i mean you dnt wanna be doing the old 180 of the clock, and notice on of shockers passing you by. hehe

You could also convert to GTR rear hubs, for one they are lighter (alloy casting) and then you can use the GTR suspension units, which are more commonly available in the more exotic formats.

If you change the uprights to GTR......

You would also need the GTR drive shafts as the wheel bearings are different.

You would then need the GTR diff as the flanges are different.

Then the GTST tailshaft won't fit as GTR's have CV's not uni joints

So you would need to get a tailshaft made/modified.

Then the speedo would need calibrating as the diff ratios are different

Personally I would buy GTST shocks, saves alot of mucking around.

I thought the GTS hub bearings would go in the GTR upright? Glad you brought this up, was going to try and fit gtr rear hubs to my R33 GTS-t back end.... Cheers.

i agree with Sydenykid, i just fited today myself GTST Teins HA to my GTST. Pretty easy, but time consuming. If in anyways its possible to reduce the time i would, not try modifying somthing and wasting your money and time.

But again, we need ppl like Chris Wilson.... as we need to learn of someones mistakes hehe
