ok here's the thing.

i've already made a few decisions on what car i want to get.

here they are:

1. nissan

2. skyline

3. R32

4. manual turbo.

5. 2 or 4 door? <_<

i'm not gonna use the car for drift or track but it's going to be used as a daily driver.

get me to uni everyday, work,etc..... and also an at the lights drag every now and then.

:P:P B)

now i've never driven these cars before so is there any difference at all other than the two extra doors?

thanks.

your opinions are much appreciated

personally i'm a 2 door man... ive got a 2 door 32 that i use as a daily driver and i couldnt be happier with it,

theres not too much difference performance-wise between the two, the 4 door being a tiny bit heavier i think.

the main differences are cosmetic, are u intending this car to be a people mover (all ur mates) as well as the way to get to and from work/uni? if so then maybe the 4 door is more practical.

the rear lights are the major reason why im not a big fan of 4 door 32s, i prefer the 2 door rear lights.

hope this helps a bit

I quite like the 4 doors, but it might be a little harder to get a manual. Before i got my R33 (2 door) i was close to buying a R32 GTS4 4 door just cos they're a little different and also having driven and been in a 4 door R33 theres a hell of alot more room inside. the whole cabin feels less claustrophobic, and the advantages of getting passengers in and out are also pretty convenient. In any case im sure you'll be happy... unless the time arises where u need to use the back seat for some lovin' then you'll wish u got the 4 door :wink:

I have owned both a 2 door and a 4 door (current)

I prefer my 4 door over the 2 door i used to have.

It looks tougher for some reason. (and is heaps faster:)

There is no difference in interior room in the 32's though ( they share the same wheel base) . all the extra doors do is make it easier to get in and out of the back seat.

Four doors all the way. Overall shape looks a lot more cleaner IMO. No sharp inclines off the the rear window like the 2 doors. I think the four doors look sporty, especially ones with the factory aero kit. Like mine :P

Me biased? Never....

Go the 4 Dr ive had mine 6 months now, and sure they look a lil plain stock but coilovers give it a tought stance will and make a hole difference, its all the same shit really performance wise, but i dont have to worry about my mates draggin in and out of the 2 door,

the 2 and 4 doors have the same wheel base, therefore same drive train. slightly more room in the back but still not really much room at all. 4 door has a bigger boot. personally go the 2 door after its a sports car not a people mover.

WOOOW! im felling good :O B)

I just got a 4 door. I wanted a 4dr for a while, not many around. It may have rear doors but the leg room in the back is stuff all when a 6ft3 person is driving.

Yep something about it. Put a mild kit on one and the front catches up to the tough rear.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      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?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R

      So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
