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.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
