R32 And R33 Sedan Questions Only

I have some questions regarding the interior of the R32/ R33 interior. First, I have searched to the previous first 10 pages and random sedan builds that I randomly clicked on as the first 10 pages did not help me whatsoever. Here's what I'm interested in:

I'm 6'3"/ 191cm. If I buy a Skyline sedan, will I have any problems sitting in it? I have a '78 Datsun 280z and I can sit in it perfectly, with clearance for my head too and plenty of leg room.

Are the rear seats okay for guests/ passengers? (How do they compare to coupe rear seats too? I read, but don't know how accurate it is, that the rear seats on a coupe are supposedly roomy for even tall people). I've tried looking for pictures of rear seats on sedans but it seems the majority of people neglect to photograph the rear seats in for sale posts, build threads, and youtube videos.

Can some Skyline sedan owners please post photos of the rear seats so I can see? I'm in Brazil now and it's quite difficult to see a Skyline in person...However I will move to Korea in August and that is when I am thinking of purchasing one.

Ok so in 33z tye coups and sedans have the same floorpan and seats (fronts dont flip foreward in the sedan) so the room in a sedan will be the same as a coupe. Im like 5'11.5" and fit fine in my 33z still got a bit of adjustment in the seat but 2 people of the same height will have the seat a bit different. .. rear seats are fine for vertically challanged ppl the rest of us sit sideways (depends on where the front seats are

Rear seats are vasivally the same in coups and sedans . They mount a different and the sedans have an arm rest but for sits their the same

Me too.^

Unless your a 3 or 4yo it's not much use for teens to adults.

as with the coups the rear is best for extended storage space

R32 sedan/coupe for 6'.3" you'll need to recline the back of the seat somewhat. (leb style)

^^ Lol at LebSpec.

Anyhoo, they are pretty roomy in the front. I'm not that tall but have long legs and regularly wear a helmet no worries.

In the back is great... I was in it once ... with a beer... and it was loud. Very loud sitting on an exhaust with the sound deadening removed.

Can't remember caring about the lack of room, due to the noise.

Hope that helps...............

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.

      The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
