4-door R32 Tail Lights Conversion

[r32J3003]

i have a r32 4 door ride in KL, malaysia. Im currently undertaking this conversion. Basically i had to remove da whole rear panel, n replace it with a coupe rear panel. As for da boot lid, ermmm it doesnt aligned properly across da coupe bumper.

so far, there's heaps of knocking on da fenders both right n left.

My question, can i use a coupe lid? does it align properly? as sedan's lid, da rubber dat ensures water proof, is not properly align thus leaving a gap.

can someone explain what should i do??? or anybody had done it b4? pls advice? do i need a COUPE trunk?

dis whole process of rear conversion is it right??? anybody? pls advice!!! im stuck n confused...

well to start with the length and width of the sedan boot is different to the coupe thus-far making the boot lid a completely different size.

the sedan boot lid is narrower and quite possibly shorter.

i am suprised you have been able to make any of this work. althoe i havent ever had much of a look i simply did a search when asking this question? can i put coupe light in a sedan and i was told no. one of the main aspects is the inside of the lights where the coupe ones are curved the sedan one is straight. best option is to get some east bear tail light covers like i did. only problem with that is that no one can find them. i was lucky and get a set of a forum member.

hope that is some help to you.

4 door tail lights are the best thing about a 4 door why would you wanna change them?

[32 4whore]

I'll 2nd what he said ^^^^^

[durty2]

3rd

[inark]

i'll deny that

Why not just buy the east bear covers for em? be a shitload easier

[KURAUN]

Ni you can voice your opinion when u get another 4 door, until then you will love 4 door taillights ok

[inark]

lol

I HAVE A 4 DOOR!!!

just that its a vsmell

i dont mind them... wont ever LOVE them... but theyre alright... best on dark cars imo

[KURAUN]

trust me when you get a 32 again you'll fall in love with them :

they look nice on white cars to, i wouldnt mind tinting them to be darker to

[DJRIFT]

that pic ^^^ is a perfect example of why the 4 door lights look gay. the subaru and other car in the lead have similar dull looking lights. every car has a big dull looking section where the designers are like insert shit lights into this big gay black hole in the back of this car. the 32 in front of the 4 door is the only car that stands out because the designers have actualy spent 5 minutes on them thinking how can we make this thing look tuff. well actualy they would have just been like, geez thoes hotplate lights on all our previous skylines look tuff but we wont do it to the 4 door because we want them to belend in as a family car.

sory to the guy who owns the white 4 door. it does look quite nice. white is my personal faverate colour.

lol thats Nicks car (the guy who posted)...

in the pics ur using the covers... but where is the reversing light mounted that they come with? Because dont the smaller lights get used as the indicators as the 4 door stock ones are covered? or have you wired it a different way?

[KURAUN]

LOL Damo i dont think i wana sell those guards to you lol

Each to there own though

But the first 32 4 door i was gona buy had the covers on the taillights and i prefered that, but after a few years i grew to like them on the car, its something different you dont want a 4 door looking like a 2 door thats why they are different from factory

But yeh i know a lot a people that own 4 doors and prefer to leave the tailights as they are with no covers

[inark]

its something different you dont want a 4 door looking like a 2 door thats why they are different from factory

but if u leave the stock ones on then arent u exactly the same as everyone else with a 4dr? therefor by sticking the covers on you would then in fact be doing something different??? hmmmm?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

[KURAUN]

ok jump on msn well sort this out now

[inark]

LOL

[KURAUN]

funny you should ask that as yes the indicators get moved from the outer side to the middle which used to be the reverse light part of the 4 door tail lights. i have wired in diodes into the reverse and indicator wiring so that both, now indercators come on as a reverse light. (old fords used to do this and it is legal, i think) only problem is the orange indicator globes dont fit in the globe holders properly which isnt to big a problem.

haha i new you would say somthing like that as i only realised after i posted it. so you should be saying yea sure you can have it.

i realy dont mind either way but i thought it is a funny debate.

and inarks right as by putting covers on you are being different. its like putting a gtr front end on a gtst, guards and all. it gives an illusion. plus they seem to be hard to come by now so its kinda unike. unlike the rest of my car.

[1400r]

my god thats ugly

hmmm how do we go about banning you from owning a 4 door?

lol just jks I prefer the 4 door look on a 4 door is all I guess 4 door lights on a 2 door would look wrong to me to

but hey if you wanna be different good luck to you

[kudos.motorsports]

I personally love the 4dr lights, however I will admit they did have to grow on me; now I'm in love.

thought so... that was one of the gayer things about the 4dr i had with those covers (Simons car now, but doesnt have the covers anymore)... i do agree tho, they do have to grow on u... for years ive hated the look of them... but now i dont mind em as much and if i was to get another 4dr i would leave em and paint the car satin black.
