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

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
