its one of the guys from NZ.

its not matt black either its satin black... there is actually a big difference.

very fat car... even has the rims im buying for my 4door.

as ive said in other threads... the std 4door lights look hot on dark coloured cars... just not white or silver.

i always thought it was such a shame that they never made those any bigger than 17s... but all the skylines and other cars ive seen em on look bigger than 17s anyway.

still... 18s would look fat... but only Bee-R make that exact style in 18s and they look fat as.

yes it can be done but its a hell of a job

you will not need to change the rear guards but you will need the corners for the tail lights on the boot from a coupe

you will need to cut out the area behind the tail lights to make the coupe ones fit

rear bar lines up ok will need to have to change the reinforcement to a coupe one

and you will also need the reverse lights from a coupe

thanks to UPI for lending all the parts to test fit

pics attached to those keen to try it and want ideas

Its a huge custom job. The 2 door tail lights are nearly 2 inches taller - as is the bootlid nearly 2 inches wider. The curvature on the outside of the housing is also totally wrong for the sedan.

I dont think you'd be able to get a real factory looking job without some serious custom work.

I've decided to deal with the sedan lights and find other things to worry about.

Hey gaffa, can you please answer the above question.

I'm interested in this conversion as well as I had a slight stuff up with my rear end and finding it hard to source 4 door parts. Also I don't mind the look of a 2 door rear end and if possible I would use the 2 door parts.

Thanx

Ned

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
