R34 Sedan Door Link Upgrades?

Gday SAU,

 

On my R34 sedan, the doors love to close shut on their own, and are prone to swinging wide open on a windy day. During my search I've learned about the R35 door link upgrade, however; people have only done this to coupe R34s and S15s as far as I can find. The Nissan EPC has told me that the sedan and coupe have different door links, so I'm not game to buy an R35 set on the (wishful) chance it works for sedans.

 

Has anyone found a clean solution to this problem, or tried the R35 links in a sedan?

Hey @Kinkstaah, what model is your sedan? ER34? I'm trying to work out whether I can fit the same door links on my WGNC34 Stagea. Going from EPC data it looks the same.

On ER34 it is 80410M for the front door and 82430 for the rear door. Which matches the links on my WGNC34.

Also, the 4 nuts are for 2 doors, right? So 8 nuts for 4 doors? Thanks!

 

As an aside, there are some more details with the R35 part numbers in this thread.

Hey mate, my sedan is a R34 Series 2 GTT. From memory you need 2x nut per door as per the image in the linked thread which also is correct. You'll be happy every time you open a door, which when you think about it, is at least 200%+ of the time you drive the vehicle.

Man, tell me about it. I think personally I snapped the day I had to wedge a broomstick in the door to keep it open in the perfectly level courtyard. It was ridiculous. So yeah I'm super excited about this. Looks like the Stagea uses the same bits for the doors.

Just looking for somewhere to get them from. Amayama has them, but a bit of a lead time. Trust-kikaku has them in stock but more pricey. Enquired with jp-carparts as well, see what they say.

Just as an aside, the door links in the R34 sedan and WGNC34 Stagea are not the same. I didn't look at the epc-data correctly. I must have been blinded by the glorious fantasy of having doors that actually work.

See for example the two diagrams of the doors: R34 <-> Stagea. 80410M in the middle. R34 uses 80430AA000 and Stagea uses 804300V000. The doors also look nothing like each other.

Anyways, I ordered a set of door links before realising so will at least have a look if it can work. I'm just glad I only ordered the links and not whole bloody doors. That would have been pretty funny in a not really funny kind of way.

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.

      What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
