Hi guys,

Proud new owner of an r32 gtst. Unfortunately, the driver's door hinges are completely worn, so the door sags noticeably when open - even clips the side skirt when closing.

Now my question is two fold:

-I got some new door hinges from Nissan. I'm thinking I should replace that door stay thing (the door helper link/stopper) while the door is off. Does anybody have the part number for this for a driver's side 2-door r32?

Also, how does that thing attach to the body? On the door side there is a pin, which i'll have to bash out (so at minimum, i'll need to order a new pin from Nissan?)

-Will I need to remove the front guard to get to the hinges (looks like I do?)

All info appreciated!

Cheers.

Congratulations on buying your car mate.

Firstly remove your door card and undo all of your wiring.

Then you need to get a hammer and TAP the pin up from below nice and gently and hit it straight or you will bend it and not be able to remove it. You won't need a new pin. Then get some pliers and remove the rest of the way. (May have to hold pin with pliers and tap pliers with hammer if it's to tight)

Then unbolt the door from the hinges 12/13 mil socket or spanner can't remember.

If you have nobody to help you hold the door, just rest your legs under it when your on your last bolt so not to damage any paint.

Once the doors off you can remove the hinges. No need to remove the guard.

Then repeat process in reverse to put back together.

Thanks mate, exactly what I'm after! Relieved to hear the guard doesn't need to come off.

Cheers.

Just to add to this in case someone has a similar issue.

While the guard doesn't need to come off, it's possible you'll have to adjust the hinges as I did. To do this, you'll need to undo the guard a little and move it out of the way.

FYI, i just did my hinges. ~$110 including delivery from RHDJapan for all 4 hinges. Numbers on the packages were;

Right side top: H0400-01U00 55981 (140612)
Right side bottom: H0401-01U00 55980 (140418)
Left side top: H0401-01U00 55983 (141014)
Left side bottom: H0400-01U00 55982 (140922)

From looking at them, i think all you need to order is 2 x H0400-01U00, and 2x H0401-01U00, ie right top and left bottom are identical. I haven't come across an instance where the XXXXX-YYYYY number is insufficient to fully describe the part, and that appears to be the case here too. No idea what the other numbers are.

I did it this way;

Remove front bar
Remove front guards
Leave doors closed and replace locks one at a time
Check door hang and adjust hinge to body bolts while propping door up to correct height
Use torque wrench on bolts, they are not strong...

You got a good deal with the prices there, I ordered from Nissan and paid $33 per hinge. How long did it take for them to arrive from rhdjapan?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I figured it'd be better to bump one than to post another to ask the same question.

Will the parts you got from RHD fit on a HCR32? The parts say that they're compatible with a BNR32, and I have no idea if they're interchangeable.

Cheers.

Sorry, no idea. On one hand I cant see why Nissan would not use the same parts, but on the other hand RHD usually show all the models that are compatible, so if HCR32 is not there, you'd want to get confirmation from FAST before ordering. Or just contact them;

Email sig for RHD has email address.

Yeah, I can't see why either, but the last thing I want to do is get the parts and find out that they don't fit. I sent them an e-mail yesterday morning and haven't had a response yet. If I don't get one by tonight I'll give them a call tomorrow. Thanks mate.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
