I am undecided if i want a 4 door skyline (R32 only) as i have a GTST i need to swap into a GTS as i kinda hit some panels :rofl: now if i get a auto will converting it to manual be hard in terms of tailshaft length? im hoping they are the same length. I wouldnt mind the extra room but dont want a car thats crap to drive, i have coilies to go in and im also hopn that i can swap those over without hassle the only thing that worries me is if the GTS still have 5 stud hubs, i spose i might need to swap mine over if not and hopefully thats no issues either.

so yeh feedback from teh 4 door drivers :(, im thinkn of going classy and pimpn (no kit) just dumped with nice rims and DARK tint :)

4 Doors dont really have a lot more room. Its just easier access to the rear is all. I was going to buy a 4 door because i have a couple of kids, but after looking at both, the coupe had more leg room in the back seat.

Most parts will be interchangeable as longs as its the same model (r32. r33 etc etc) It will get tricky if you go from 32 to 33 etc. The parts that arent interchangeble should not be too hard to find the parts that you need from any number of places, like C-Red for example. Jash there has done enough conversions to be able to find what you need.

There are probably plenty of other shops to, just check the consolidated workshop thread for some more.

They can handle quite well. I've got a 4dr gts4. Back seat room is pathetic, recaros don't help though. It has various supension mods, coilovers etc. Handles very well and everyone who's driven it comments on that too. So they can be setup quite well.

Ive got a 32 coupe my best mate has a 32 4Door. The 4 doors still go hard as, corner well, handles pretty much exactly the same. Obviously a 4 door's chassis isn't as tight as the coupe but is hardly if at all noticeable on the street. The 4 door doesn't have really any more leg room in the back as a few people have already mentioned although it's a lot easier getting into the back seats for obvious reasons. If it's a GTS 4 door (non-turbo) i believe they are a 4 stud for the rims.

Cheers.

4 doors are teh hotness!

Nice one Alistair!!

Autoworx ftw..

You should drive that thing down the road sideways, perminantly. That way you'll aquire more 'advertisement' exposure for oncoming traffic....

Need a marketing manager?

:P

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
