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!

:P

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

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
