R32 And R33 Sedan Questions Only

I have some questions regarding the interior of the R32/ R33 interior. First, I have searched to the previous first 10 pages and random sedan builds that I randomly clicked on as the first 10 pages did not help me whatsoever. Here's what I'm interested in:

I'm 6'3"/ 191cm. If I buy a Skyline sedan, will I have any problems sitting in it? I have a '78 Datsun 280z and I can sit in it perfectly, with clearance for my head too and plenty of leg room.

Are the rear seats okay for guests/ passengers? (How do they compare to coupe rear seats too? I read, but don't know how accurate it is, that the rear seats on a coupe are supposedly roomy for even tall people). I've tried looking for pictures of rear seats on sedans but it seems the majority of people neglect to photograph the rear seats in for sale posts, build threads, and youtube videos.

Can some Skyline sedan owners please post photos of the rear seats so I can see? I'm in Brazil now and it's quite difficult to see a Skyline in person...However I will move to Korea in August and that is when I am thinking of purchasing one.

Ok so in 33z tye coups and sedans have the same floorpan and seats (fronts dont flip foreward in the sedan) so the room in a sedan will be the same as a coupe. Im like 5'11.5" and fit fine in my 33z still got a bit of adjustment in the seat but 2 people of the same height will have the seat a bit different. .. rear seats are fine for vertically challanged ppl the rest of us sit sideways (depends on where the front seats are

Rear seats are vasivally the same in coups and sedans . They mount a different and the sedans have an arm rest but for sits their the same

Me too.^

Unless your a 3 or 4yo it's not much use for teens to adults.

as with the coups the rear is best for extended storage space

R32 sedan/coupe for 6'.3" you'll need to recline the back of the seat somewhat. (leb style)

^^ Lol at LebSpec.

Anyhoo, they are pretty roomy in the front. I'm not that tall but have long legs and regularly wear a helmet no worries.

In the back is great... I was in it once ... with a beer... and it was loud. Very loud sitting on an exhaust with the sound deadening removed.

Can't remember caring about the lack of room, due to the noise.

Hope that helps...............

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
