Resurrecting this thread again as ive started a S1 build. So far ive found:-

Rear speaker mounts (plasic bits) are different. Fronts are the same

Door mirrors are different...the outer bit that moves when folding apears the same but the part that bolts to the door is different.

Front and read screens are different

Rear bar and pods are different

Areals the same but the bracket on the botton is about 2mm different length

Boot plastics. Sides and rear are different. As is the brackets o the tail lights that mount them..I dont have a floor to tell yet. Battery covers the same but

Parcel shelt is about an inch amd a half deeper

Rear seats are different but can be made fit..I replaced the panel behind the seat with a coupe one (had to straighten it somewhat but it gave me the height of the hooks the back of the rear seat locks into). Then drill out the spotwelds of the 2 outer hooks and rerivet to the new height...coupe back seats are a bit narower to so youll have a 10mm gap down each side.

S2 coupe headlights drop straight into the S1 sedan (weird cause they dont fit properly in a S2 sedan)

Coupe locks can be used all round but the boot lock needs to be striped down to just the barrel

Carpet. The only difference is the location of the strips on the side rhat hook on and the coupe has the 2 holes where the front seatbelts attach to the J shaped bar thingy

Rear wipers are interchangeable to

Thats all I can think of for now....

PS my dash harness was hacked up so ive put a coupe one in...tail lights, blinkers, interior light(triggered by back doors), rear windows and areal etc worked. But central locking needed wiring in.

anyone know if the rear seats are the same as 2dr?

No coupe seats are about 15mm smaller each side and the mounts for the top half are different (the are easy to modify but)

Panel behind back weat is differet to, flatter (can be swaped for above with work)

Exhaust will fit but a bit shorter

Bracket on the bottom of areal is different

Most boot trims are different. Gap between lights is smaller

Parcel sheld if about 25mm deeper

Rear speaker pods are different but fronts are the same

Only difference in floor carpet is tye clip/chanels down the sides and the coupe has 2 holes for the bottom of the seatbelts

S2 coupe headlights droped straight in my s1 sedan

S2 coupe front panels went on my s1 sedan no dramas. Even used the s1 reo and got everything to line up

Rear cradles are definitely the same

Rear pods are longer on the sedan

Coupe wings (drift,normal and M spec) wings wont fit

Front and rear windscreens are very different

Dash and centre console are the same

Front seats are interchangable BUT sedan seats dont flip foreward in one hit like coups do...and sedans have adjustable lumbar support instead of adjustable wings

Rear bars are different (longer)

Dash harness is different (missing a few wires for the rear doors). I put a s1.5 dash and front harness in my s1 sedan. Can be modified to work if your desperate.

Front passengers window switch is swapable as is the handle it mounts on

Pretty sure the roof lining is different (windscreen shape) but I cant confirm as I havnt swaped em

Roof wings are different

Diffs are the same between short and long nose..ie a short nose coupe diff will fit a short nose sedan setup

That's all I can think of atm

Hello,

I have just bought a R33 sedan, that needs a few things, i'm wondering if anyone knows if the sedan and coupe share the same of the same items:

S2 Bonnet

Interior A piller trims

Front seats

Thanks!

S2 coupe bonnet will fit a s2 sedan but for a s1 sedan you wull have to change the grill and better to do the bar and headlughta or it just dont look right

A pillar trims are completly different (I might have some in a couple of weeks at doyalson nsw)

Front seats...short answer is yes but see above post

Regarding the mirrors, if you need to replace the mirrors on your sedan, make sure you keep the base plate (the part that bolts to the door). The rest of the mirror is interchangeable.

So when replacing, you will need to unscrew everything and butcher the wiring to remove and replace the base plate. Use crimp connectors unless you dodgy like me and you individually twist/wrap and bind the wiring.

U mean using coupe mirrors on a sedan?

U mean using coupe mirrors on a sedan?

the outside bit yea..you have to use the triangular part that bolts to the sail from a sedan but the guts (motor glass etc) and the outside shell are the same..i had trpuble gettimg sedan mirrors that fold in and out. Just pull em apart and swap the triangular bit and your good to go

Ganadors dont sit right on a coupe anyway...my mates got em and personally i think the fitments crap. Hangs over the window opening by 15mm or so..maybe with some work theyd fit right..but depends hownkeen you are :)

So I've done some looking this seems to be the best thread for my question and I can't se a direct response anywhere either. I have a S1 334 door and want to fit a cage, will the cages for a 2 door fit, it seems form what is said here that they will, but cusco used to make a 33 4 cage, now discontinued. I'd like the back seats to be accessible, even if impractical. Anyone got some info or tech on this, or if ceffy or other model cages fit?

    • Thanks mate for that reply. Very helpful.    it’s a 2022 400R so would most likely lose those features as you say.     I did a quick compare of a rv37 nav and heading for sale in Japan to q50 model. I’ll pop pics below. Seems  Japan spec head into top, nav unit second below it   below pic Q50 aud delivered     differences seem to be Aus delivered has a different plug top left hand side of head unit- not sure what and where it goes.   and nav unit Japanese tv37 had an extra plug put    Again I’m really not sure what each of these differences mean!       the actual plugs on a v37 and q50 screens look identical on both screens… pics below for comparing. (One screen was is a us delivered one) but should be same gps signals etc as Australia.    If it were as simple as swapping a nav unit from q50 aud delivered im interested -just want to figure out what the missing plug is for before spending big $ on a second hand part for it to not work, and I guess with the head unit, if the band expander does the job (I got a 20mHz so should get the range I’m after) so should narrow my issue down to nav unit only.  I’d love to know what the extra cable on rv37 does and if I elongate that part what it’ll do to the setup,    and also, if I can figure out what that head unit plug difference is, what does that cable do and where does it got can it be altered or re-plugged?! Excuse my ignorance what is ACP/AA, what does that stand for?   Thanks for the info re tyre sensors, helpful and great to know.  I was reading the online manual off Japan website and it seemed to make it sound more confusing than it is  I guess a rim replacement would require the sensors to be moved to a new rim to carry that option over?!     Thanks for the info regarding diagnostic mode. I appreciate your help mate. Trying to brainstorm here to find a solution to get as much gadgets as I can working! I plan to get my local Nissan tech to have a look too who used to be at an Infiniti dealer back in the day to see if any thing they have or idea can find a soliton. But hoping anyone here has gone down the same route to make life easier!!   i guess identifying the cable/plug differences and what they do would be a great way of finding out if the units are transferable    thanks again 
    • No idea about the remote start part. If the V37 nav is anything like other Nissan JDM vehicles, you can't get the factory Japanese nav working in australia, a card from a different car almost certainly won't work, those cards are usually matched to the serial number of the DCU.  You could be possibly swap out the components from a AuDM Q50 to get it working, but if this is a new model (2021+) 400R, then you will lose the newer features like ACP/AA.  That said, if you have ACP/AA, just use google maps.. I assume a band expander would be required to get the local radio stations, but don't forget the Japanese FM band is narrower than ours, so you still might not be able to receive all Australian stations. I can't see any reason the tyre pressure sensors won't work here, there is the sensor unit inside the rim and the receiver nearby in the wheel well.  I have never had to change the batteries on my 2015 Q50, so I assume they last quite a while.  A straight battery change shouldn't need them to be re-registered as they are the same unit, that should only be required if you replace a sensor with a new one.   Word of warning, if you ever go into the 'secret' diagnostics mode on the main screen, DO NOT EVER do a 'reset' in this menu, it will erase all of your model specific data in the DCU and you will need a trip to a dealer to re-program it all, which would be particularly painful being an import.  This applies to the AuDM Q50 too.
    • There is a known issue with the mix door motor on the Q50 which causes these symptoms, not sure if it is common on the Y51 though.
    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance
