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 could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
