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?

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
