Hey Guys and Girls.

Just about to pick up a stock r32 4 door. Mainly gonna be used as a drift pig, but still streeted. Just my main question is what are the major aftermarket part differences with the 4 doors.

I am building this car on the cheap, and looking at ebay, wreckers, and forums for parts. And wondering will normal r32 parts fit straight in. Like engine, suspension, or what ever you have had problems with because you drive a 4 door I would love to no. Especially so I know what I am getting into.

Any advice, help or starting points would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

hi mate good choice on car, the right work an you'll hav a nice car

but yeah well lets see i hada 32 4dr once an ther pretty much an identical setup to the coupe except for the obvious like panels (exterior in general), windows an parts of the interior. All suspension engine an driveline are pretty much the same but not sure about the tailshaft as been a sedan i didnt know it it was longer or not. theres not much else i think i can raise as differences about the 2 cars that i think will concern you too much but if theres anything else you wana know imsure me or others will help you out

Thats really good to know.

So all engine mods are the same?

Also was wondering about the brakes, are they any different being a 4 door. I am thinking about doing the r33 gtst front brake upgrade any dramas being 4 door?

Also does the suspension require different spring rates? Or can I get away with using 2nd hand coilovers out of a r32 coupe?.

A lot of my mods will be cheap 2nd hand stuff of forums and the wreckers so just sussing out compatibility.

Cheers.

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
