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.

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
