The reference ID can be seen in the photo below.

Try SGS Engineering...I use them a lot and they will also do polish stainless and adjustable gas dampening depending on your budget.

I replaced my rear clip ones on my Sport, don't imagine the GTR are much different

I used Metrol Springs and upgraded to bigger balls (smile) and a thicker rod (smilesmile) (sorry) as I felt that the original were a bit spindly

https://strutsdirect.metrol.com/

I also used a different mount onto the clip which is much stouter

I got the original strut decoded and apparently, they were 150n, the new ones are teh same and work just fine

They were fast and about the same prices as everyone else I looked at
