[driftmunkee]

hey fellas, i was just wondering if anyone knows whats up.

i have recently bought me a 1990 nissan skyline r-32 gts-4,and it dosnt have the front wheel torque gauge,have i been gibb or is it still a gts-4,without the torque gauge,as i never realised it should of had one til somebody recently pointed it out to me,it has the gts-4 sticker but i guess that could have come from anywhere,and i have no clue on how to tell if its got the 4WD drivetrain.......man i feel dumb :

many thanks

The torque-split gauge sits up in the top left corner of the instrument cluster (where GTSts ahve the boost gauge).

If you have AWD, then there should be 2 driveshafts between the sump and the front axles, and a driveshaft from the side of the gearbox forward to the diff housing on the engine sump.

lol did u get jibbed?

dw id rather gtst anyway

i got gts4 but scared to launch it incase blow boxes

but its excellent for corners

Yeh, check for the driveshafts at the front wheels, maybe someone has just replaced the speedo cluster with a gts/t instead - that's what I'd be hoping then I'd just be worried how many kms it had done.

Don't want to say it but always a good idea to do a bit of research before buying something unfamiliar to you - especially when you are buying a car that can be very expensive to repair!

Here's one way to tell from inside the car: come round a tight'ish 2nd gear corner and plant your right foot, if you are all crossed up, its a gtst, squeeze the throttle next time Looks a pretty tidy car, have fun.

^^^^ lol.

well, did you find out if its a gts4 or not?

check the firewall for the jap build plate, it should say HNR32 if its a gts4, as opposed to HCR32 for gtst.

well, your username is driftmonkey

so wouldn't you be happier with a RWD skyline anyway?

probably your dash cluster has been changed. If it has the gts-4 badge on it, build plate will probably be HNR32, and won't tell you anything.

just check for driveshafts on front wheels and that will tell you. or you can just go to an empty carpark and f**k around for a bit, you should be able to tell pretty quick if it's rwd.

yes but the boot lid could have been changed after an accident.

but obviously checking underneath for a transfer case etc is the best method...
