Hey guys gals,

i have just sold my R32 gtst and now am thinking of stepping into a gts4 r32. THing is i am quite clueless when it comes to inspecting these cars in terms of the driveline (body and engine i presume would be same for any r32 gtst) what are some things i should know about when looking at a r32 gts4? this is in terms of the actual attessa system itself(driveline). Oh by the way the one i have in mind is auto too.

thankyou.

In terms of ATTESSA, theres not a great deal that you can check. Copious amounts of rear wheel spin, with no real power going to the front can be a a sign of worn clutch packs in the transfer carrier.

Power "surging" between the front and rear under acceleration, or hard cornering.

Other than that all you can do is test drive it, and talk to the owner...

...but dont buy an auto pls

y is that?

is this because they are seriously gutless with the added weight etc?

my last skyline was auto rwd coupe, and i like my skylines auto :)

nope nothing to do with power or weight, im quite sure that the difference between man or auto is negligable. i just like to have more controll over the power output, being able to rev til you want or dont want, and just have a better feel of driving your car :) i think to have such a beautifull car in auto is a waste >_<

ohh one more thing,

does anyone actualli own a gts4 auto? hows fuel consumption same as a auto gtst r32? and performance, like seat of pants feel is it good/decent?

finally, is attessa on gts4's tough and durable, so should i expect things to break anytime now?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
