modifing 4 door rear bar

[walkoau]

ok guys i want to put a veilside rear bar on my r33 4door.

first question is does anyone know if it fits for sure????

im 99% sure it will

next question is does anyone know if the 4door rear bumper bar support/reo is the same as the coupe?

if not, i will need a coupe rear bar support/reo for the new bar?

will the coupe rear bar support/reo bolt straight up to the sedan rear end.

as with the rear bar im 99% sure it will

i think it should all bolt up the same cause the shape of the lower rear end(below tail lights) looks the same, except the original 4 door rear bar stick out more then the coupe one, thats why i think the support/reo may be different?

if anyone can give me a yes/ no answer i would greatly appreciate it.

some one must know????????????

please guys i need to know this as my rear bar+support where damaged after a stupid 19yo girl with no insurance and no job!!! ran into the back of me in a sh*t box vn commodore.

has anyone got an old 2 door r33 rear bar lying around so i can check if it fits on my 4 door????????????????

Rear bar from coupe definitely won't fit without mods as 4-door is longer.

what about if i use a coupe reo/support bar?

isnt the distance from the rear wheel arch to the rear of the bar the same distance??? correct me if im wrong. im only guessing.

No, the sedan is longer after the rear axle, so rear bar from coupe is a definite no-go without serious mods!

thanks for the info.

Benm from this forum has a coupe rear bar lying around so we are going to try out the fit of it on my car and see what happens. this way i know how serious the mods will be.

i really need to know this cause there are no real good aftermarket bars for the 4 doors besides the impul one.(which i dont really like)

Basically the sedan in is about 80mm longer in the body after the rear axle, so the rear bar is longer by that amount. I have a Trust exhaust on my car from a 2-door and although it bolted straight on, it sits back under the rear bar so I need to get it extended.

I don't see how that makes a difference as the rear bar doesn't wrap around the corner it just goes flat across the back and then screws in right at the 'corner' as you can see here:

Obviously my new 400R rear bar wouldn't fit as it has the side pods which connect to the rear bar and if the 4 door is 80mm longer than the side pods would have to be 80mm longer.

I'm going by what body kit manufacturers/sellers have told me when I enquired about kits about a year ago. I was told that the only part of a 2-door kit that would fit is the front bar. It would be great if the coupe rear bar would fit because as said earlier in the thread, there is sweet f.a. available in the way of rear bars, or body kits in general for sedans. Keep me posted on how you go walkaou......

The best way might be custom rear pods + the standard 400r bar?

i will definetly keep u posted on this.

tony

the i really want a rear bar that makes a bit more of a statement than the 400r but if thats my only option i will have to do it.

i also have to try to keep costs down so the bar + the custom rear pods may cost too much.
