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...

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
