if u want to put the larger engine in u need to change

gear box NOT transverse case

crown gears a 32 crown gears are 3.6 the GTR is 4.11 which ive been told are stronger (OEM 3.6 crown gears might be ok but if ur gunna get new engine u might as well change the gears in both diffs)

33 GTS4 crown gears a 3.4

as for RB25det for OEM u would need to source out of a stagea as 33 GTS4 didnt come turbo

blind-elk on the forum owns an RB25DET powered GTS4 and a couple of guys own RB26DETT powered R32 GTS4 sedans (coz they're cool GTR sedans)

R32 GTS4's are good fun in their own regard... I own one, light mods, still an RB20DET, plenty of fun in AWD mode and RWD mode (you can very easily wire in an override switch for the AWD)

GTS4's share a lot more common parts with a GTR than a GTSt, like the chassis for example, and the control arms etc. Swapping in GTR parts is pretty simple. I run aftermarket R32 GTR shocks and wheels on my GTS4, and even things like quick shift kits, control arms etc are interchangeable, which is awesome.

That said it s a bit of a pain in the freckle to sit there and bring a GTS4 up to GTR spec, when you can just spend about $5000 more and just buy a GTR in the first place. So maybe rather than trying to make it something it isn't, use it without modding it, when you have enough saved up, sell it and upgrade to a GTR. That's my plan anyways.

good advice (unless u can fint a Autech :D)

also with the 33 gts4 the axels are the same from GTR - GTS4 the sump pan basically everything except crown gear ratio and gear box ratios

I love my 32 GTS4!

Its different, handles extremely well in the hills (if your into that thing)

And launches like a bat outta hell off the mark.

Whats not to like? Unless your planning to use it to go sideways (which they can still do in 4WD) then i'd stick with just your run of the mill GTSt

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
