Hello :blink:

Im trying to figure out a styline route for my R34 4 door. Does anybody know (for certain) what the compatability is between the 2 door and 4 door chassis?

Are the wings/bonnet/front and rear bumper the same on both cars?

front bar is the same, bonnet same

rear bar is not

wings? you mean front fenders? or side skirts?

- Front fenders the same - Pretty much everything up to the A pillar.

- Whole dash assembly the same.

- Front seats the same

- Front suspension, Rear suspension - the same (...but I've read somewhere - please don't quote me on this - stock front suspension on the sedan is slightly stiffer due to the extra weight when braking)

- Tail lights - different

- Boot - Different

- Rear bar - Different.

Eastbear have some nice coupe/GTR style bumpers and panels for the R34 4 door -> http://www.east-bear.co.jp/

To have the front bar bonnet off a gtr i beileve you have to replace the bonnet bar an fenders all in one hit.

Also the mounting points for the lights are different as far as I know, which mat suggest the fron uprights needs changing to do it all properly. Otherwise you can knock up brackets to fit the GT-R lights.

i think you will find the front seats are different from 4 door to 2 door.

i purchased a set of front seat rails for a 34 gtt autotechnia brand i think they were, sign said 34 4 door compatible, tried fitting and works out they are only for 2 door version. rang mob who made them and they said the 4 and 2 door are different, and they don't make 4 door version. bolt holes at rear of seat are the difference.

I have a 2001 turbo sedan with the update bumper and wanna take it off to fit a non turbo early model bumper :(

Is there a difference between early model turbo and non turbo front bumpers?

Or are people refering to the non turbo as the standard type then the turbo as the nismo option type?

Attached picture's for reference, the black one to me is the standard bumper with the lip, the orange one the Nismo option bar, then you get the later model round type?

Oh and seats 2 door and 4 door are the same, but 2wd - 4wd are different.

Seats are the same. Could be the rails that are different lengths - as you will need to move the seats more for coupes for rear passenger access.

And there's no difference between early model and late model front bumper fitment?

If you are running the stock side mounted intercooler - I do NOT recommend putting a non-turbo bumper - reason being is that it needs the side vent.

If you have a front mount intercooler - the non-turbo bumper will be ok, but may require some modification.

If you intend on keeping the side mount intercooler - your options are limited to the GTT bumper or nismo bumper - or if you're really keen a GT-R bumper, which means you will need a new bonnet, side fenders etc.

Non turbo doesn't have the vent on the side for the intercooler etc. Seeing as I don't want that, that's the reason for going non turbo.

Does anyone know if the tailshafts are the same between 2 door manual gtt and 4 door auto gtt? I need the rear section changed on my 2 door as the center bearing has collapsed on the rear sectin of the two piece tailshaft and I have access to replace it with a 4 door auto shaft and bearing.

Here is a picture of the part in question...

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
