Im a fan of the 4-door style taillight and want to put them on the back of my coupe. Just wondering if anyone else has done this conversion, and if so how.

The coupe bootlid looks to be wider so i was thinking i would have no choice but to use it and get it cut to fit. Just trying to find out what i can before i attempt this, i already did a search but only found stuff about putting a coupe rear on a 4 door...i want the opposite ><

any help or pics would be great, cheers guys

(P.S. 4 door rear ftw)

Matt.

Its not the 4 door i like so much, just the coupe taillights i dislike...

And I did not buy a four door because the car I found for sale was a coupe, And for what I got with it and what I payed for it I couldn't say no.

Besides, I still have a full 4 door body kit from my previous 32 and I have a set of taillights on there way to me atm.

I am determined to make it happen, Just thought someone else was bound to have done it and could give me a few pointers or something along those lines.

If you happen to find a way to do this ill kindly swap my 4 door rear for your coupe rear :whistling:

Heres info for the other way round, if the 4door needs metal to be cut away for the coupe lights to fit i guess that the coupe would need a bar welded in to hold the tail light in ??

Got my 4door taillights today and ripped the rear end off the coupe so I could trial fit and see how much work was involved.

Good thing is its not as much as i had thought, definitely doable. Cut away a bit of steel and drill some holes to fit the lights in and then weld some steel on to the boot lid and shape them to the lights.

The 4 door rear bar I have is almost going to bolt straight on, just needs to be cleaned up and some small adjustments.

Will post pics shortly of the trial fit.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
