1.) Is the suspension from the R33 coupe a direct swap?

Yes it is, I have swapped it myself.

2.) Is the exhaust from the R33 coupe a direct swap?

Yes and no. It will fit no problems but looks like its a few cm too short at the tip.

3.) Is there a weight difference between the coupe and the sedan?

The sedan is slightly heavier (cant remember how much but its not a lot) and to compensate the cars structural integrity is a bit better due to the center piller (B piller?)

Hope this helps

Wheelbase is the same but the boot is slightly longer. Still fairly small though.

Series 2 are a bit better as the battery moved to the front and gave a bit more room

Mine has a coupe tailshaft in it.

I believe the weight difference was around the 20-30kg mark.

I am looking at R33s right now and just wanted to know if there are any major disadvantages getting the 4 door than the 2 door.

Advantage: More space.

I can't find much info and I hate search engines on forums (I did some searching, but didn't find much specific comparing the two)

Cheers.

Disadvantages: Maybe some parts are harder to get if you hit a panel etc. Still a lot coming in though and just jap etc import a lot of sedan gear.

Maybe 20kg heavier (slight performance disadvantage but not major)

Not as good looking? I don't mind them though

Advantages: Doesn't attract as much attention

Easier for rear passengers and driver (dont have to get in and out to let people in)

Place to throw your crap if dont want to open the boot

Boot slightly bigger (not much!)

Not sure about resale - could either be adv or disadv. You may get the 4 door cheaper to start with!

      R32 GTR Bonnet Hinge Bolts

      By SteveL · Posted

      From my bolts, standard M8 with 1.25mm thread pitch (M8x1.25mm).    Length is 19mm under the head and has a captive 18mm OD flat washer.   20mm length from a bolt shop is what you'll be able to get.   Make sure they're zinc plated.    If you're concerned about strength, grade 8.8 will be more than enough. Original PN is 01121-04971.  Now discontinued according to Amayama but that's because it's one of the parts that's been captured by the Heritage program, which explains the ridiculous price.   New PN is 01121-RHR20: https://nismodirect.com/nismo-heritage-bolt-pin-hinge-hood-bnr32-nissan-skyline-gt-r-01121-rhr20-01121-04971/ About AUD33 converted from Yen in the above link but that's just one example. Interesting that the hinge-to-body bolts are still available non-heritage.....PN 08116-8161G around $2 each (amayama).    Same thread but 16mm long.

      ER34 RB25DE Auto - Would a flush ever fix an "A/T" light?

      Well, if that filter was impeding fluid flow, then it could have similar effects to faulty solenoids. The TCU will register a fault when it does something (ie, changes the state of a solenoid) and does not detect the required result. If there are other causes that can make the same lack of result, then they will be indistinguishable to the expected cause for which the TCU has a code.

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yellowjackets, red ones, blue ones (other than Splitfire) have all been demonstrated to be unreliable on turbo engines. That unreliability can be anything from outright failure (ie, 4 out of a set of 6 working out of the box) to just not being strong enough for the task, on a boosted engine. Not enough of us care about NA engines to know whether that unreliability is an issue for the undemanding needs of an NA RB20. I should think though that the DIS-008 should fit the 20. There's not really any reason for the head/coil mounting area to be any different on those 2 Neos. I wouldn't be buying Splitfires, or any other old tech coilpack, for a car in this day and age though. I would buy modern pencil coils and do what needs to be done to adapt them to the loom. That's relatively trivial these days, with numerous kits for fitting R35, or Audi, or Yaris/Corolla coils.

      So i brought a boat...

      Keen to see how much work is needed to get an abandoned Skyline going. My R32 has been sitting idle for three years or so but finally got some time to get it going again. (Also lurking SAU and trying to hit 10 posts so I can start my own intro thread with pics)

      R34 RB20DE NEO coilpack?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Which coilpacks can i use in my engine? I looked at the Splitfire but the closest "match" i found was SP-DIS-008 but even that they do not show RB20DE NEO so iam not 100% sure. Or maybe different one which will 100% work? I saw many on ebay but they are some cheap "strange" ones. What about Yellow Jackets? Many thanks 🙂
