I have a 33 4 door, very stock! I've seen a few really hot sedans around. They look awesome lowered with big wheels. Spook's_Skyline has a nice 33 4 door and R32drifta has a nice drift style R32. There are alot more 2 doors driving around then 4 doors so we 4 door owners tend to admire other 4 doors more then 2 doors.

Its just our preferance (well mine anyways). I have posted a pic of mine you might not think mines hot but I am proud of it.

Look through the Gallery at the top of the page and you shall find some nice 4 door pics in there.

Happy looking.

Hang on guys...

Is this becoming a 2 door bashing thread... :huh:

We dont need to lower ourselfs to 'bashing' other peoples cars like you 2 door people sometimes do. I mean its just obvious that 4 doors are far far better, and 2 doors are for loosers who cant count very far :)

4 doors for life! and Sedans for style!!!

2 doors for... coupes for... see it just doesnt work... :)

Hahaha! Lap it up!

today i went to look at a 4 door skyline(im not 2 fused on them tobegin with) its a gts-t with a rb25 ect

Last week on the dyno it got 350hp at the rear wheels... this is perfect it has alot of power which im wanting but its a 4 door which was my only problem. i have never seen a nice 4 door before so i started this topic to see if u can acually make a 4 door look good :)

You have to remember also that everyone has a different opinion of what looks good...

I mean im not much for body kits, i like simplicity and performance inhancing modifications...

The sexiest thing on a skyline would have to be a canon exhaust and a FMIC. In short its whats under the skin that floats my boat, if it has 4 doors or 2, if its a gts-t or a gtr. There all good in my opinion execpt them non-turbo ones... :) JKS

I will also conceed that I have owned a 4 door nissan in the past also... It was an SR20det powered R31 Pintara... :)

It was great for carrying heaps of stuff, but now i have a company hack with 4 doors and a huge boot so all i need is a 2 door lifestyle car for the weekends...

I'll be controversial here.. skyline sedans are useless..

You can carry the same amount of people, you can't fit any more stuff in the back because the seats still don't fold down :P and the back seat area and boot is only that little bit larger. It just makes it easier that couple of times you have 4 or 5 people in the car to get in and out if you have a sedan.

They don't look bad, but having owned a few sedans, they're just too in the middle.

Hatch, 2 door, or wagon. Sedans are just something weird in the middle!

A skyline, which you can easily put the kids in and out of. How can it be in the middle? Us with kids actually have four or five people everytime we leave the garage. Same motor, same everything and two more doors, looks arent really what counts as no two people like exactly the same thing. But the sedan is a great compromise for us with a family at the end of the day.

Here are my two sedans mate!!!post-26828-1163928056.jpgpost-26828-1163928196.jpg

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
