Hello :blink:

Im trying to figure out a styline route for my R34 4 door. Does anybody know (for certain) what the compatability is between the 2 door and 4 door chassis?

Are the wings/bonnet/front and rear bumper the same on both cars?

front bar is the same, bonnet same

rear bar is not

wings? you mean front fenders? or side skirts?

- Front fenders the same - Pretty much everything up to the A pillar.

- Whole dash assembly the same.

- Front seats the same

- Front suspension, Rear suspension - the same (...but I've read somewhere - please don't quote me on this - stock front suspension on the sedan is slightly stiffer due to the extra weight when braking)

- Tail lights - different

- Boot - Different

- Rear bar - Different.

Eastbear have some nice coupe/GTR style bumpers and panels for the R34 4 door -> http://www.east-bear.co.jp/

To have the front bar bonnet off a gtr i beileve you have to replace the bonnet bar an fenders all in one hit.

Also the mounting points for the lights are different as far as I know, which mat suggest the fron uprights needs changing to do it all properly. Otherwise you can knock up brackets to fit the GT-R lights.

i think you will find the front seats are different from 4 door to 2 door.

i purchased a set of front seat rails for a 34 gtt autotechnia brand i think they were, sign said 34 4 door compatible, tried fitting and works out they are only for 2 door version. rang mob who made them and they said the 4 and 2 door are different, and they don't make 4 door version. bolt holes at rear of seat are the difference.

I have a 2001 turbo sedan with the update bumper and wanna take it off to fit a non turbo early model bumper :(

Is there a difference between early model turbo and non turbo front bumpers?

Or are people refering to the non turbo as the standard type then the turbo as the nismo option type?

Attached picture's for reference, the black one to me is the standard bumper with the lip, the orange one the Nismo option bar, then you get the later model round type?

Oh and seats 2 door and 4 door are the same, but 2wd - 4wd are different.

Seats are the same. Could be the rails that are different lengths - as you will need to move the seats more for coupes for rear passenger access.

And there's no difference between early model and late model front bumper fitment?

If you are running the stock side mounted intercooler - I do NOT recommend putting a non-turbo bumper - reason being is that it needs the side vent.

If you have a front mount intercooler - the non-turbo bumper will be ok, but may require some modification.

If you intend on keeping the side mount intercooler - your options are limited to the GTT bumper or nismo bumper - or if you're really keen a GT-R bumper, which means you will need a new bonnet, side fenders etc.

Non turbo doesn't have the vent on the side for the intercooler etc. Seeing as I don't want that, that's the reason for going non turbo.

Does anyone know if the tailshafts are the same between 2 door manual gtt and 4 door auto gtt? I need the rear section changed on my 2 door as the center bearing has collapsed on the rear sectin of the two piece tailshaft and I have access to replace it with a 4 door auto shaft and bearing.

Here is a picture of the part in question...

    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
    • I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.
