hi there lucy, arent doing to much cruising lately, broke. Just had to fork out $860 for new afm and dyno, so working an extra day each week. mind you do manage to shoot down to see a mate down burton usally once a week. dont think you would be interested in sitting with a bunch of guys in a small smoke filled room for a couple of hours though.

by the way mind was in the gutter for a minute there. dont think the wife would be happy though {married for 5years and a little girl {2 1/2 year old}}. mind you if your up to that then maybe could very well make that offer work. the ride that is. lol

hi there :)

another GTS-4 owner here next best thing to a GTR is GTS-4

THats it.... nothing better than a heavy non turbo slug? Even if you tub it you still have 300 -400 kilos extra to contend with compared to a gtst. (On the other hand you will have 4wd which apart from a great launch gets pretty fricking boring after a while- ie no drift).. Dont buy a non turb skyline ie gts4 evenif it has been tubbed (lacking brakes and other goodies that come stock on the turbo models).. (you may be happy with it at first but down the track you will want something faster that you can play around with a little more... Get a gtst and bolt a huge tub on it --- sooooooo muich fun!!!!! Rotors can be alot of fun too but a biaaaaaatch to maintain!!!!!

gts-4 is a gtst with 4wd

not true with the R33 but true for the R32 GTS-4

the R33 came RB25DE

(On the other hand you will have 4wd which apart from a great launch gets pretty fricking boring after a while- ie no drift)

u obviosuly havnt seen mine driving just ask iceduc and vange :D they can beet me on launch

and u do get used to not having 4spot calipers but also engine braking is braking @ 4 wheels too is slows alot quicker

    • You're already well into "gearbox is a consumable" territory there. A billet plate will either make it (effectively) 1% stronbger or make it last one more pass. At some point you'll probably tear 3rd gear into small chunks and regret all the life decisions that came before it.
    • ..and forum.r31skylineclub has been down all week....anyone know why?
    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
