Hey Guys and Girls.

Just about to pick up a stock r32 4 door. Mainly gonna be used as a drift pig, but still streeted. Just my main question is what are the major aftermarket part differences with the 4 doors.

I am building this car on the cheap, and looking at ebay, wreckers, and forums for parts. And wondering will normal r32 parts fit straight in. Like engine, suspension, or what ever you have had problems with because you drive a 4 door I would love to no. Especially so I know what I am getting into.

Any advice, help or starting points would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

hi mate good choice on car, the right work an you'll hav a nice car

but yeah well lets see i hada 32 4dr once an ther pretty much an identical setup to the coupe except for the obvious like panels (exterior in general), windows an parts of the interior. All suspension engine an driveline are pretty much the same but not sure about the tailshaft as been a sedan i didnt know it it was longer or not. theres not much else i think i can raise as differences about the 2 cars that i think will concern you too much but if theres anything else you wana know imsure me or others will help you out

Thats really good to know.

So all engine mods are the same?

Also was wondering about the brakes, are they any different being a 4 door. I am thinking about doing the r33 gtst front brake upgrade any dramas being 4 door?

Also does the suspension require different spring rates? Or can I get away with using 2nd hand coilovers out of a r32 coupe?.

A lot of my mods will be cheap 2nd hand stuff of forums and the wreckers so just sussing out compatibility.

Cheers.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
