Basically i always wanted a 4Door import. I currently drives a 32 gtst, love the car but im tempting to get a 4 door just because i like something different( had 2 coupe and now the 3rd one ), seen some nice pictures of some 4doors such as " Nisskid " and the white one in pix section gtst i think (i love the silver one below). But somewhat i think the 4door really needs a kit or at least some skirts to make it looks good. oh an wheels.

Also cabin wise are the rear roomy at all?

Would like to see what you think about the difference performace wise (drifting/ hill runs etc..) i suppose parts are pretty much the same as the coupe version.

Thanks for your input.

l.b.

Cant speak from experience on an R32 level, but a mate has an R33 4 door, I think you'd be splitting hairs to compare the difference. Its slightly longer, but only by a small amount, around 50mm? Drifting wise, its probably less twitchy. Rear seats are great, we've done a few road trips with a car load it doesnt feel as cramped as the coupes probably because of the larger rear windows. In summary I think they're great although slightly understated compared to the coupes the practicality for a daily is worth it in my opinion. I wouldnt mind finding a GTS4 sedan myself and doing an RB30DET conversion... the AWD and 4 doors would be about the closest youd get to the AUTECH 4 door GTR.

I currently drive 32 sedan (selling it now), I'd say there is no difference in driving feel compared to coupe and sedan.

Sedans are 30-50mm longer from coupe (if memory serves me right!) rear legroom isn't that awesome compared to Stageas, 33, Legnums etc, parts would be bit difficult to get over coupe (from A-pillar to back it's different to coupe it's bit longer and taller than coupe).

I don't see many 32 sedans around (i've seen more Stagea and Legnums than 32 sedan!), if you want to be different, go for it.

I've owned both cars and there isn't really much of a difference in space.

It really depends on what your reasoning is for getting a sedan. If you're just after the fact that it's got 4 doors, then go for it. If you're after more legroom, I'd probably consider other cars like the Chaser, Aristo, Caldina, Stagea, etc. Will definitely get more legroom in these cars than you would in an R32 sedan.

hey mate, the coupe and sedans are actually very similar, basically the only difference is a bit of extra length in the boot behind the rear wheels (around 50mm or so), and a bit more head room, i dont have the pic of the 2 cars dimensions on this computer but imm sure someone does.

    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
