Do R32 4 Door Tail Lights Fit On 2 Door Car?

[dave_1]

do r32 4 door tail lights fit on 2 door car?, i prefer them and was wondeing if they fit

[Mark_McQ]

If they bolt right on, you'll probably need the 4 door bootlid as well. The edge tapers at an angle to match the light, where the 2 door one has a curved corner.

can anyone comfirm this?? if they bolt straight on and only need 4 door bootlid, i wouldn't mind to do this also .. like 4 door rear lights tho

cheers

You're going to need the rear bar as well.

From what I can see, I don't think they'll be a straight swap over. The part where the indicator is on the sedan's, the lights are more curved compared to the coupes.

My answer would be that it's not a straight swap over, but then it doesn't hurt to try it for yourself.

its a straight fit with some minor modifications (well it is when changing from 4dr lights to 2dr lights)

from 4dr to 2dr you will need:

2dr bootlid

rear bar

both taillights

to make the taillights fit, you gotta cut away abit of the metal where it slots in to make it sit neatly, at the bottom of the boot, you will need to weld a 5mm metal strip on to make the gap as small as possible like as if it was an original 2dr rear. you can get away without welding the metal strip on but the gap from the rear boot > rear bar (above where it says skyline) will be like 2cm or a bit more.

i assume it would be the same when going from 2dr lights to 4dr except for the welding of the metal strip and cutting away some metal to fit the taillights.

if anyone wants to do it, im willing to be up for a swap (ive got a 4dr) preferbly a silver skyline

i like the 2dr lights better, much more agressive and sexy looking

have you found a thread, going through this in more depth or have you done it yourself? because i agree with you on the 2 door lights looking tougher and much sexier and i have been looking for a decent thread or some kind of write-up about how to convert to the 2 door lights on a 4 door. like this

Only decent pic i could find, was from driftfest.

^ the guy who did the orange r32 is the one i spoke to, he is on ns.com (not sure if he is on sau.com?)

[Greasy]

do you know his user name?

[Chang]

Not trying to sound rude to you all, but all of you guys are wrong.

I personally have converted a sedan to coupe tail lights (see pic)

None of the parts are interchangable. The coupe boot lids are wider. And the coupe tail lights have a bigger (note: much bigger) bulb holders.

Bumpers do not fit as well, you gotta redrill everything

[dori34]

not sure what his user name is sorry.

its on the drift & togue chat section under R32 4door thread.

i guess it does take abit of modding to fit then aye

[GTS4WD]

Theres a cover you can put over your 4 door lights that make them look like 2 door lights

Yep, made or supplied by eastbear last time I checked.

[dori34]

(jap32r) i think thats his un was selling a white r32 4door mid last year and it had the taillight covers on.

i rekon it looks pretty gay.

heres an OLD pic

[dori34]

its still not the same as a coup haha

[Simon-S14]

i know.. its got 4 doors

[adam-__-]

What did you do about the indicators? Just move them to where the reverse lights are or?

[Simon-S14]

thats it, and the reverse light is that little light at the bottom of the bar, was actually legal like that in australia too. but i wouldnt do it thatway myself.

[cruzin33]

I think the 4door R32 is sexy gotta love the rear end more then the 2door
