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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
