Afaik that was a mockup.

Badges are wrong,there was no VSPEC,missing Autech badge,series 1 tail lights,headlights are series 1 GTS headlights where the Autech GTR had series 3 GTR xenon projector headlights and looks like someone bothered to take the bottom lip off an aftermarket bar so it would look like the showroom example of the Autech version.

i have also known of 2 Impul R33s and one R32 four door in perth.

one from autoworx and another sau member.

don't see what this has to do with 4 door GTRs. 100 Impul-R 4 doors were made but they are really just a kitted up 4 door and afaik not 4wd.

Autech GTR is my dream car! Some day.. :)

OP:ffs, L2multiquote .

do know this already. but the rwd RB25DET is rated at 206kw, like a stock GTR due to minor improvements.

lets talk four door nismo 400R. :whistling:

You mean the rating of a neo RB25, these are only normal RB25. they are not rated for 206kw.

Yes lets :)

You mean the Autech GTR that a handful were sent to nismo and kitted in 400R (Style),LMGT1 rims,painted yellow and a standard RB26DETT(not RBX-GT2) Tuned to 380hp.

These were not a 400R nor were they made by nismo.

no i mean the 4dr autech. not the 400R RBX-GT2 sedan, its in another price range and league ffs.

Good luck finding a decent low-km Autech sedan under $30K...

^^^ this. i personally wouldnt turn it down if i could import either or any impul or autech vehicle in good condition. :blink:

OP has squat diddly chance of getting any of these cars in low kms and grade 4 condition as kristian said.

The 4 door Autech GTR does not have a RWD RB25DET, nor does the Nismo version have an RBX-GT2 FFS.

LOL, Autech is a proper GTR with GTR floorpan, whereas Impul is just a RWD run of the mill 4 door with a kit and a paintjob and some extras added. they look and are nothing special, ive seen 2 where i live and a few more for sale on the net for around 15k.

OP does not have squat diddly chance of getting an Autech 4 door with low k's and mint condition. it just wont be costing 30k, i could buy one now for 50-60k with low K's and mint condition everything. for example: MNP 40th ANN AUTECH GTR . K-staff usually have a few for sale, i saw one a while ago for 50k with 38,000 ks

yeah nice post of the page out of the nissan skyline book that makes you think the Autech-Nismo 4 door GTR was a 400R and had an RBX-GT2. wrong. it was just on the same page, has no 400R Badge,no 400R Decals,no RBX-GT2 and didnt have the same kit.

nice try. :nyaanyaa:

this is pretty cool and pretty damn cheap.

the only thing i can see about this to tell its not a GTR is that it doesnt have projectors. has everything else, even GTR accelerator pedal

heres a few photos of 4 door GTRs that i have

heres the actual page out of the book about the Autech and Nismo versions of the 4 door GTR, notice the word RB26DETT? and not a 2.8L stroker :)

^^^ just to clarify i am comparing the 4 door autech with the nismo 4 door, not the 400r (380ps) both with stock RB26 and 4WD running gear. my question to you is are these essentially a GTS4 or GTR from factory? im importing a S1 autech stagea through Imports101 at the end of the year. autech had it harder with the S1 stagea where they had to engineer parts to fit from factory as it had removed the 4WD RB25DET and much easier with the S2 stagea being in factory manual form. is this the case with the autech R33 4 door GTR and GTS4? I have only seen a four door R32 GTS4.

nice try at teaching me something new. please enlighten me. :rolleyes:

Autech and nismo 4 door are the same car.

Nismo version was tuned to 380 whereas 400R was tuned to 400.

Afaik the Autech GTR is actually a GTR and not essentially a GTS4.

I don't believe Autech used series 1 stagea when making 260rs,if that is what you are getting at.

There is 33 4 door GTS4 but Australia no longer allows import of n/a 4 door 33s.

If anyone wants to prove me wrong on anything I've said,im happy to hear it. :)

so series 2 stagea's start from late 98 - 2001...

what about all the autech stags from pre 98?

I was under the impression Autech stagea started in 99. But i only know a small amount about stagea.

FFS we've been over this in another thread, you CANNOT import RB20E models in a 2 door or a 4 door but the RB25DE models are fine. Same goes for the 34's.

I was half wrong.

N/a sedan is fine but n/a GTS4 is not eligible,so nehhh.

That's either a very good copy, or it has been thrashed like a red-headed step child - aftermarket front bar and series 1 headlights suggest it has had a front end hit at some point, crappy rear wing, badges in the wrong spots, ewwwww...

For what it's worth, the sedan body didn't like having the rear guards widened much - they are completely notorious for rust under the rear. Virtually every one I've looked at has it.

Regardless of parts not matching from what I remember the bloke that owned it was older, he wasn't tracking it just watching the event. He seemed incredibly passionate about the car and aside from the minor details the car was immaculate, spotless leather interior which looked factory. Though I'm no R33 expert so I'm only showing you what I saw. It's not every day you see a 4 door R33 GTR.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
