well i used to hate the look of 4door r33's but for some reason they've grown on me alot lately. not so much series1's though. really considering getting a manual turbo 4door series2 after i sell my current car.

reasons being:

-something different

-looks sweet once done properly

-not as common as coupes and not many people recognise it, therefore wont expect much from it (sleeper style)

-wont be hassled as much

-cheaper insurance (or so i've heard)

main thing i wanna know is how they compare to the coupes, performance wise.

i know they are longer and a bit heavier than 2doors but how much longer and heavier?

any help would be appreciated

thanks

I have a SII R33 Manual sedan. Id have to say doesnt draw as much attention, but since a couple of guys got SII R33 coupes in the same colour as mine, and drive like retards i get hassled a heap more. I think 20-40kgs heavier (not exactly sure), power wise the same, ive gotten the jump on a few of the coupes, so comes down to driver really. and about 10-20cms longer, and the roofline is bit higher as well i think. Lots of other small differences.

cheers

Yeh r33 sedans dont get much attention at all, i once pulled into a BP and the attendant goes, hey mate me and my mate here were havin a discussion on what car that is? I go yeh its a skyline, and one of them goes YES I KNEW IT WAS A NISSAN lol...

Performance wise, I havent been in a coupe so i cant say, but from what ive herd its only like 40kg heavier so i dont think it would that much slower? To tell u the truth it is a bigger car than my mums camery! Alot of leg room, so more lux than the coupes, as it can fit 4 ppl comfortably on a 600km trip (done quite often). Im looking at 1.4k for full comp insurance i think? But its i havent seen many 4 door series 2 33's on the road at all, if any.

and about 10-20cms longer,

Thats a bit of an exageration

I would guess 5 cm longer, because if you fit the coupe exhaust it sits back about 1-2 inches further than in the coupe.

I also prefer the style of the boot with the flush sides (more like the 34's) and spoiler on top.

10cms, i say as ive had a coupe exhaust put on my car and i needed a 10cm section put in after the cat. Never measured, so it was a guess, i guess without the spoiler they look longer and sleeker.

cheers

thanks for replies :P

thing is, i'm a p-plater and i've never seen a p-plater driving a r33 sedan before lol. i guess people who buy em are ones with kids maybe but still want a skyline.

i on the other hand probably wont need the space, like i said twill be just something different etc.

is it weird for a p-plater to get one of these? :)

but i was thinking if performance wise they are pretty much the same as the coupes, then why not.

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
