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.

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

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?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.

      Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      My R32 Money Pit & The Headaches That Come With It

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
