hi mate,

the four door r33 is heavier, and higher than the coupe. (roof line is i little different) but as far as engines are concerned theyre the same. floor pans ...(obviously) differ you dont say if yours is 4wd or not....if it is then youll need to find out which 4wd system. early r33 had similarities tothe 32 gtr. if not then its a simple case of most things will fit fromthe 2wd coupes.

suspension is different, mainly at the rear ....though specific dimentions arent something i have at present.

the front and rear bumpers are im lead to beleive slightly differnet ...(more of a problem at the rear) if you want after market stuff, and again obviously youd want longer side skirts.....(doh)

thats all i know from this side of the world anyhow .....im sure someone else will add more...

thanks for all the help on the car ill have pics of her up soon ive tinted the windows so black that i cant see in but she has been put on hold as i had a little girl 15 days ago ive found a company the makes a flair kit for it its vivalgarage in sa they call it a type 4 kit but im chasing a ser 2 rear boot garnish as i got my ser 2 lights in an the garnish looks strange so if any hears of one an im also looking for a r34 4 door none turbo auto as my other half cant drive manual at all put her in the vp clubsport an stalled every time an i also put a type 1 turbosmart bov sounds like a old mans fart not good at all well thanks an ill set this thing up so i can show of the girl still need help with that to

The front windscreen is different to 2doors.Side mirrors are definitely different.rear lights are different .

The sedan is slightly longer than the 2 door but exhaust is common. Engine is exactly the same .

I wouldnt buy anything off a 2 door on trust make sure! Sorry if Ive repeated some stuff and if anyone knows any more please tell cos Ive got a 4 door r33.

With me having a 4 door and dad having a 2 door.. I can safely say most of the parts - excepr certain interior parts, side skirts and rear bar/boot lid are the biggest differences..

all engine parts are interchangable

thanks for that ive had to put a hold on the car for now as new child demands more than the car

so dose anyone know of where to get parts from as all the jap yards here dont have any parts

or im looking for someone who has a none turbo auto r34 to swap plus a cash difference so if any one knows of anyone

thank you all for your help with the r33

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
