Re: 94-95 q45 coilover compatible with?

Im running Cusco Zero2s from a Z32.
Mods needed.
Rear: Replace Cuscos upper mounts with stock Q45s.
Front: Enlarge one of the holes on q45s body (upper mount).And do the same on the lower mount on the coilover itself.

Hope that makes sence.

OK, Here's what I have found (and tried) that works:

These will DEFINATLY work on your car:

FRONT:
R32 GTR Front coilovers, will work on the front of your car.
R33 GTR Front coilovers, will work on the front of your car.
R32 GTS-T Front coilovers, will work on the front of your car.
R33 GTS-T Front coilovers will work on the front of your car.

Note: Any Skyline shock will be a tad shorter than a Q45 in the front. You may have to drill out the front strut holes just a tad...

REAR:
R32 GTR Rear coilovers, will work for your car.

Note: You may or may not need to use the factory Q45 upper mount in the rear.

I have tried ALL of the coilovers listed above (when i had my G50) and they will work on your car.

So if your looking on ebay for a set of coilovers that will more or less bolt up to your car, pick up some R32 GTR coilovers and get low! \
Hope that helps!

Re: 94-95 q45 coilover compatible with?

well i wanted stiffer spring rates then most of you guy would want(drifting). and this was a cheaper route, my rates are 10/8kg. the only Manufrauture i know of that makes coilovers for the Q45 platform is JIC and if im not mistakent their kinda rare and pricy. i dunno its been a while since i last looked.

So picked up some Z32/R32 Coilovers from Megan Racing, Street Series For my 94 G50

Mods required.
Front Strut tower need to widen the hole alil bit or use the stock uppermount.
Bottom of coilover needs to be drilled out to fit on stud.

Rear Just need to use stock upper mount.

Overall not a bad modification. Definately better than the stock suspension and ride is alot smoother without out the Blown Shock Boogie. Wish I could have more height adjustability, seems to be adjusted all the up and the car is still pretty low. Maybe stiffer springs will help. Body roll was greatly reduce. Bigger wheels should definately help with height. Cannot adjust camber with these coilovers but all in all not sure if the fatness of like 65 series tires would clear the wheel well. :p Will try to get some pics up.

thanks

I did that for a while with my S13 just trying to get by with beat up used suspension and it really didn't help too much.
Just leave the car as is until you can get some coilovers. No sense switching to some used or possibly busted suspension which may cause more harm than good.

Good Luck.
