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...............

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

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

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      I've got MCA Blues on my V36 Skyline, and while I've managed to sort out issues with scrubbing/bottoming out by raising it a smidge and increasing the damping hardness, the rear end still sounds *super* noisy when driving on anything other than the flattest surface imaginable. It sounds like a small party of flamingos are just chatting away in the back, which makes me think there are several link points in the suspension contributing to the noise. Am I hearing dried out/worn bushings? None of it sounds like metal-on-metal, it sounds more like hard rubber squeaking on metal. It's been suggested that a bit of silicon spray on each bushing might quiet them down, but I'm not sure what material the current bushings are made of (probably factory, I imagine) and whether silicon spray will degrade that material.

      The obvious answer here is get a ND2/3 RF with the Targa top. The red is nicer, too!
