Hey guys, could someone please post a pic of what the boot looks like in a R33.

I'm thinking about one for the other half, its either that or a falcon really. Well maybe a stagea...

Anyway, just a few Q's I have about them. Is the batt in the boot like the coupe? Do the back seats fold down.

Whats the most anyone has towed with one unbraked

An R33 sedan is good, but I doubt it will approach a Falcon for boot (or passenger) space. As mentioned, the seats don't fold down, as the battery is located between the strut towers.

R33 and Stagea rear seat room and leg space is the same, as they share the same chassis and wheelbase, as far as I know...

Having a Stagea is great - used it yesterday to help my sister's boss move all her work stuff from a factory warehouse to her house. Managed to get heaps of stuff moved, if Id have taken photos it would give you an idea of how versatile it is. The back seats fold completely flat, and you can just flip the seats using the silver handles on each side of the boot, instead of having to open the back door on each side and individually fold each seat down.

Unfortunately I don't have photos of the R33 sedan's boot (could probaly get them in a few weeks, tho), but here's some photos to give you an idea of the Stagea boot:

Thanks for the pic of the Stagea. I'm not sure if I'm sold on the stagea, with 4wd and close to 200kg more than an R33...

At the moment she has a Liberty Turbo wagon, which is good as a car, but as soon as you put anything on that tow bar, it strugglees to pull.

Ok, back to the R33, how many golf bags can you fit in the boot :(

Does anyone know if you can use r33 coupe swaybars, rear mufflers, rear strut bars on the sedan?

Also is the TCU part of the ECU in an auto?

decisions, decisions.

The series 2 R33 sedan is the only one to get. The battery is back under the bonnet so there is more usable room in the boot. Everything about the drivetrain is the same as the coupe, the exhaust will also just bolt up but you may find the tip of the exhaust may look a little short as the sedan boot is about 100mm longer. Hope that helps.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
