ok here's the thing.

i've already made a few decisions on what car i want to get.

here they are:

1. nissan

2. skyline

3. R32

4. manual turbo.

5. 2 or 4 door? <_<

i'm not gonna use the car for drift or track but it's going to be used as a daily driver.

get me to uni everyday, work,etc..... and also an at the lights drag every now and then.

:P:P B)

now i've never driven these cars before so is there any difference at all other than the two extra doors?

thanks.

your opinions are much appreciated

personally i'm a 2 door man... ive got a 2 door 32 that i use as a daily driver and i couldnt be happier with it,

theres not too much difference performance-wise between the two, the 4 door being a tiny bit heavier i think.

the main differences are cosmetic, are u intending this car to be a people mover (all ur mates) as well as the way to get to and from work/uni? if so then maybe the 4 door is more practical.

the rear lights are the major reason why im not a big fan of 4 door 32s, i prefer the 2 door rear lights.

hope this helps a bit

well i don't think the rear seats will be used that much to be honest. there's no doubt that i will be spending a bit of cash on both engine and cosmetics. the only reason i'm considering a 4 door is because it's a bit different and less common.

I quite like the 4 doors, but it might be a little harder to get a manual. Before i got my R33 (2 door) i was close to buying a R32 GTS4 4 door just cos they're a little different and also having driven and been in a 4 door R33 theres a hell of alot more room inside. the whole cabin feels less claustrophobic, and the advantages of getting passengers in and out are also pretty convenient. In any case im sure you'll be happy... unless the time arises where u need to use the back seat for some lovin' then you'll wish u got the 4 door :wink:

I have owned both a 2 door and a 4 door (current)

I prefer my 4 door over the 2 door i used to have.

It looks tougher for some reason. (and is heaps faster:)

There is no difference in interior room in the 32's though ( they share the same wheel base) . all the extra doors do is make it easier to get in and out of the back seat.

Four doors all the way. Overall shape looks a lot more cleaner IMO. No sharp inclines off the the rear window like the 2 doors. I think the four doors look sporty, especially ones with the factory aero kit. Like mine :P

Me biased? Never....

the 2 and 4 doors have the same wheel base, therefore same drive train. slightly more room in the back but still not really much room at all. 4 door has a bigger boot. personally go the 2 door after its a sports car not a people mover.

WOOOW! im felling good :O B)

I just got a 4 door. I wanted a 4dr for a while, not many around. It may have rear doors but the leg room in the back is stuff all when a 6ft3 person is driving.

Yep something about it. Put a mild kit on one and the front catches up to the tough rear.

    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
