Basically i always wanted a 4Door import. I currently drives a 32 gtst, love the car but im tempting to get a 4 door just because i like something different( had 2 coupe and now the 3rd one ), seen some nice pictures of some 4doors such as " Nisskid " and the white one in pix section gtst i think (i love the silver one below). But somewhat i think the 4door really needs a kit or at least some skirts to make it looks good. oh an wheels.

Also cabin wise are the rear roomy at all?

Would like to see what you think about the difference performace wise (drifting/ hill runs etc..) i suppose parts are pretty much the same as the coupe version.

Thanks for your input.

l.b.

Cant speak from experience on an R32 level, but a mate has an R33 4 door, I think you'd be splitting hairs to compare the difference. Its slightly longer, but only by a small amount, around 50mm? Drifting wise, its probably less twitchy. Rear seats are great, we've done a few road trips with a car load it doesnt feel as cramped as the coupes probably because of the larger rear windows. In summary I think they're great although slightly understated compared to the coupes the practicality for a daily is worth it in my opinion. I wouldnt mind finding a GTS4 sedan myself and doing an RB30DET conversion... the AWD and 4 doors would be about the closest youd get to the AUTECH 4 door GTR.

I currently drive 32 sedan (selling it now), I'd say there is no difference in driving feel compared to coupe and sedan.

Sedans are 30-50mm longer from coupe (if memory serves me right!) rear legroom isn't that awesome compared to Stageas, 33, Legnums etc, parts would be bit difficult to get over coupe (from A-pillar to back it's different to coupe it's bit longer and taller than coupe).

I don't see many 32 sedans around (i've seen more Stagea and Legnums than 32 sedan!), if you want to be different, go for it.

I've owned both cars and there isn't really much of a difference in space.

It really depends on what your reasoning is for getting a sedan. If you're just after the fact that it's got 4 doors, then go for it. If you're after more legroom, I'd probably consider other cars like the Chaser, Aristo, Caldina, Stagea, etc. Will definitely get more legroom in these cars than you would in an R32 sedan.

hey mate, the coupe and sedans are actually very similar, basically the only difference is a bit of extra length in the boot behind the rear wheels (around 50mm or so), and a bit more head room, i dont have the pic of the 2 cars dimensions on this computer but imm sure someone does.

    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
    • I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
