As above, are the SWB and LWB rear hatches significantly different or only slightly?

 

cheers

Depends how you define significantly - They are certainly significantly different in that there is no way one will fit on the other.

 

Never taken any measurements, but every dimension is different including the angles.

 

The rake of the entire rear window is very different, For example, looking out of the rear view mirror in a LWB is a fairly ordinary view, but in a SWB the rear window angle makes it more like looking out of a letterbox.

many thanks bud

I successfully fitted an 89 spec rear spoiler from a lwb onto my swb.

The SWB spoiler looks like a decent fit, but I presume that's still a LWB hatch on your LWB zed?

Its a lwb spoiler on a swb zed lol but you would not be able to interchange the hatches

Yowser where is that picture of those two green Z32's? Im sure you posted it, I have saved it but im not at home. Thats the best comparision in the back end ive ever seen between swb and lwb

ah, that's me not reading it properly, doh! :oops:

 

Still looks like a nice fit though

I thought the oem '89 spoiler fitted both types, didn't realise they were different?

there not mate the 89 spec fits both. It was just when I bought it nobody was shure if it would fit but it did.

Ah, right. was getting a bit confused there. lol

Yep, spoiler fitment is the same. The hatches are different.

I know the one you mean, but cant find it :S

like this

 

good picture dougal200 it show's the difference very well:thumbup1:by the way the moulded mud flaps are also different.

Rear bumper seems to have a bigger bump area on the lwb as well, or is it just a slight shift in the photo angle ?

no, you are correct. The LWB rear bumper sticks out further than the SWB version.

Bit like 'does by bum look big in this ?' then !
