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!

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
