4 Door R33 Questions

[TTT]

Hi,

Few questions regarding R33 4 door sedans.

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

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

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

Cheers

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 have something to ask as well. Will a "hybrid" style intercooler piping kit fit into a R33 SII Sedan? For the SII sedans the water bottle seems to be blocking where the hole should be cut? Is it true?

Thanks.

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!
