R34 Sedan Door Link Upgrades?

[CowsWithGuns]

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?

The R35 set works in Sedans. I have a full set, all 4, there is a left hand R35 side and a right hand R35 side. You need 2 of each.

The only things you will need are 4 nuts which are not included.

It really does feel and work great.

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.

I got mine from Kudos Motorsports - They are pretty awesome to deal with as well

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.
