hey guys,

looking at buying myself a skyline soonish....cant really decide what i want, 4 door or coupe :P

is there any difference between the coupe & 4 door besides the obvisous cosmetic differences?

i will be using it as a daily/drift hack....as i have another project on my hands atm

if you guys could recommend one to me & state why you would choose that one over the other one....hopefully this will help me make my decision

cheers

Andrew :P

There's nothing different apart from the obvious cosmetics. The suspension from a gtst coupe will go straight into a sedan. Engine are both the same. The sedan is an extra ~50mm longer.

I went for the sedan because I thought it was 'rare'.

It's your choice which one you should go for. Some people don't like the sedan's rear lights and it makes them want to go for the coupe.

umm i heard you can get coupe tail lights to fit into the 4 door, not sure if they fit straight in or u need a conversion kit....but this is possible yer??

also

is it possible to fit a tow bar on an r32 to tow a small trailer?? like a jet ski?

You can get the covers to make the sedan's tail lights look like the coupe's, but actually changing them to coupe ones is a LOT of work.

I don't see why you can't put a towbar on the car, it's just that the 2ltr is already struggling with the 1.5tonne car.

4 door looks crap in comparison to the 2 door in my opinion.

I've had both and prefer the look of the 2 door.

however, if I ever get another, I would need the 4 door.

but if you need 4 doors, then might aswell get a skyline instead of a camry.

adam - R32 is closer to 1.3tonne.

gts4 is a GTR style 1450kg

now that is of the suck with an RB20

You might find that the 4 doors are a little cheaper for insurance with some companies, (maybe the only 89' 4 door skyline they have in there system is the R31), either that or there isn't as big a data set for 4 door imports as there is for 2 doors to base there stats on. (im sure somebody will correct me on this one, buts this is just my reasoning).

And if you park your car in a tight garage like i do its a hellava lot easier to get out of a four door with its shorter doors than a coupe, at least in my situation.

I may be wrong but you also sit a little higher in the 4 doors with factory seats, but you get shitty cloth instead of the velour in the coupes, unless it have a late model 4 door interior.

None of this will matter if you don't like the look of the sedan. I suppose its just personal choice.

If you using it for a drift hack its way easier to put tyres and tools in the back seat of a 4 door that in a coupe. Just rip the base of the rear seat out and you will have heaps of room!!

Insurance does have the 4 door R32 on their system.

Mine was insured through AAMI.

true about getting out of the smaller doors.

Seating position is the same in 4 or 2 door.

all 89 and 90 models 2 or 4 door came with the gaybo cloth trim.

funny. I don't I've come across a 91 model R32 yet..

hmmm.

turf the GTSt guards and bonnet for GTR items and you'll claim back half that weight difference.

89 gtst = 1290kg

92+ gtst = 1320kg

1450 - 1290 = 160

1450 - 1320 = 130

Half those weights as you say would be 80kg - 65kg

you saying the removal of gts4 items and replacing with GTR items will make that kind of difference?

:rofl::D:)

About the insurance thing, they didn't have 4 door 32 GTS-4's. I told them that my car's a GTS-4, but I think it's still put down as a GTSt. I keep calling up for them to change it but they end up changing it to an R31, then back to R32 GTSt. I just gave up.

I feel sorry for my RB20 too. :D It's carrying around 1.5tonne. I think it needs to retire and have a RB30/26 take its position. :rofl:

they are both tough.

I have and slide a 2 door but i have also driven and hade a fair slide in a 4 door. if you are not partial to either just buy the best condition one you canfor the money you have to spend.

4 doors are a bit more forgiving to slide as they take a bit longer to get out but are easier to correct. the coupe is always a bit easier to sell and you will get more attention with it. but the 4 door is easier to live with day to day.

50/50 but i voted for the coupe :dry:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
