Hey all,

Lately i've been pondering all my options regarding my car etc and im having trouble selling it.

This is my situation.

P Plates, restricted to a non turbo car.

Own a 95 R33 GTS4 Auto (non turbo)

Also, it has a 4 stud wheel pattern.

I really like the car I have, the body and interior is immaculate and is mechanically better than A1. As much as i'd love a turbo car this is what I have. All the NA cars are 4 stud so that was something I couldnt avoid. However I shoot myself in the foot about getting an auto :(

Anyway, I dont want to pour great deals of money into a car that I would just sell in 2 years anyway to get a turbo. Now I know in a non turbo and RB25DET conversion is possible with the front cut swap?? But what is the situation with the GTS4? I understand it has the GTR drive line, so im guessing only a RB26DETT is possible to fit, or is a regular RB25DET also possible to fit to the all wheel drive system on my car? Also, if I was going to to do an engine conversion, so getting a front cut? Would that come with the manual gearbox etc? As I wouldnt be making the same mistake twice haha

Also, has anyone done a 5 stud conversion on their skylines? What is involved, cost etc? I'd want to get the bigger turbo brakes and what not as well as a new set of wheels anyway..

Thank you very much in advance all who help, I know this was very long winded.

-Macca

The "normal" RB25DET has a different sump pattern, so you can't swap your 4WD sump onto the RB25DET.

The Stagea has a AWD RB25DET, but the manuals are like chooks teeth (the vast majority are autos too). You might have to settle for a GT-R gearbox, unless you can find a manual one from the R32 GTS4.

Clearly, if you get a half-cut, then you get the good brakes as well.

An RB25 will fit, you cant use the GTS-T gearbox though, remember Stageas come with an RB25 and awd. Cheers blind elk, didnt know the sump patterns are different!

You would be best off buying a manual Stagea front cut with gearbox, that might be harder to find but you will/should get the gearbox/pedals/brakes etc etc.

To be honest you might as well save your money now and buy a turbo car later on...

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      R32 Skyline Interior Door Light Issue

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
