Here's some photos of the one I snapped at Winton back in '08:

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.

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
