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.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
