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.

4 door all the way man there the best and if you have noticed a foor door is about as fat as a gtr at the back so bolt on wide front gards and your laughing ill get photos of mine up soon you will see that they are f-ing rad

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
