I've been thinking of cross-grading to a more practical car that being a 4 door and I really like the look of the R32 over the R33. I'd like to keep some of the mods off my 33 and move them over to a 32 4 door if it all goes ahead, particularly my wheels. Has anyone on the Gold Coast / Brisbane got one and willing to do a quick rear and front wheel swap so I can see if they will fit? Or alternatively, if you own one do you have 18 x 9" (45offset) on the rear, how well do they fit?

I saw a white 32 four door on the weekend down here on the coast and wanted it immediately! :headbang: Tho I am very very reluctant to sell my R33, alot of work and money has gone into it.

Cheers

r32's are great.. well they look good :) and have a much more compact / sporty feel

To be honest though I am not sure of the room.. in the back of my r32 (coupe) there is barely enough room for feet & legs. Its only slightly larger than the supra type "decoration" back seat.

I can't recall whether the 4door R32 are much larger (could well be), but maybe an R33 4 door might not be so stupid.

You can test fit some wheels on mine anytime if you want to, not that it can it drive further than the driveway at the moment but you can judge how they fit.. i'm about 5 mins from u-mart

After having a trip in the back seat of a 4 door/sedan skyline all the way up the sunny coast one day. I wont do it again :thumbsup: Im not THAT tall, but you hit a bump, and you will hear 1-3 yells of pain from the back seat!

I have both an 32 & 33 sedan and two kids, take it from me the 32 is only easier to get in and out of it has no more room than a coupe. The 33 sedan on the other hand seems to have a bit more head room than the coupe.

Fitting 18 x 9 to an R32 sedan would be difficult, tried 17x9s +40 with 245/40 had no hope, way to much hanging out so much that +45 offset wouldn't help and would probably make fronts rub on struts and rear would be so close to not clearing them aswell..

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
