Thats ok, if you still cant find it the mounting points are on the rear wishbones by memmory. Its hard to picture where is would go because the swaybar link is a stright cylindrical piece of metal inlike most other links, you need nuts either side that go through the wishbone in the rear . But if you get whiteline they change the design and you need to buy there links to make it suit, its a lot better than the stock rear sway bar, because the design changes the whole way the sway bar looks and fits.

if your after info on GTS4 box check this:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/370991-r33-gts4-na-box-to-handle-250kwatw/page__p__5924403__fromsearch__1#entry5924403

will give you some solid info ;)

gtst, gtr, stagea, gts4 all have the same subframe so most bits n pieces are interchangeble.

1st 2nd is definately shorter, 3rd is slighty shorter and 4th and 5th pretty much same, feels absolutely fine apart from the common weak synchro issues but soon as i used some redline lw sp that fixed it up pretty good.

hey guys, rather then starting new thread...

Im just in the process of putting r33 gts4 runing gear into a gtst shell. I know its easier to start off with RWD components, but I already have these in the shed, so...

Ive just removed the RWD sump and started to remove the gts4 sump, the bolts are much largeron gts4 ? Can i just bolt up the rwd sump to the awd block and which bolts ?

Also, if i just drop the front driveshaft, can i drive the car aroud safely in RWD ?

Can I use the gtst tailshaft and diff ?

Anything else to look out for ?

Help greatly appreciated. thanks guys

no one has a clue because no one has done it......main reason because its pointless....

Thanks for your input :)

sumps seem to line up perfectly, just took them off, havent had a chance to bolt it up yet :)

Now just need to confirm if i can run the gearbox with the front driveshaft dropped off, without any issues ?

Edited by KISIN

I have rebuilt GTS-4's engines, diffs, gearboxes BLA BLA and how did you get them to line up????????????????

They are no where near the same shape as the block? The GTS-4\GTR block petrudes out where the diff is and it has 4 or 5 different styles bolts where the RWD is just rectangle and uses 30 of the same bolts.......

They will fit but they are not the same 270CC like the NA ones they are about 370CC

I'm thinking of getting a gts4 , what's some basic/cheap things that I could do to improve it's performance ??

Full service of everything, wider/better tyres, suspension, brakes.

Build driving experience, get full license.

Sell it and get whatever you want.

If by that stage you've done all that stuff and had it for three years and still want to sell it... Well sir you obviously don't love your car

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
