If your looking for outrite pace, the GTS-T is the go. It has the RB20 RWD but only weighs 1260-1280KG depending on model age. Whereas the GTS-4 has all the 4WD gear the GTR has, with the same engine as teh GTS-T. Hence the GTS-4 weighs somwhere int he vacinity of 1460kg i think (someone correct me?). Both with the same power, obviously the GTS-T will be quicker.

However they do have the ATTESA 4WD system which would be handy. I think a GTS-4 with an RB26DETT conversion would be the go! heheh. Then again you mayaswell buy a real GTR tho.

The 33 weight diff from the GTS-t to the GTS25T-4 isnt quite so big, however the additional weight is there. Hence they are a little slower again than the RWD counterpart.

Really its up to what you want outa the car.

With the R32 GTS4 Nissan realised spec-wise it was abit too close to the GTR so in the R33 (and R34) they decided to make the GTS-4 non-turbo.

i wasnt aware the r34 series had a gtt-4 if thats wat its called :P

comparing 32 gtst and gts4:

gts4 can get off the line much faster by lauching at 6000 rpm.

200kg increase means slower top end.

The gtst will catch up to the gts4 over a 1/4 mile.

The gtst has a more chuckable feel and more fun to drive.

Bang for buck a gts4 with rb25 conversion is the goods.

Hard to find a 32gtst in good condition let alone a rare gts4

I am extremely biased to the gtst.

I have a mate who owns a gts4 and it has f**k all torque low in the rev range like all rb20s but its much worse.

Drifting (speaks for itself)

plus I cant believe I am typing this on a Friday night but Ive got that bad cold goin around

anyway I recommend the gtst unless you plan on spending $$$$ on upgrades

My 25 cents

Only R32s came out with a turbo 4wd GTSt model, the latter ones (r33 and R34) were both non-turbo!

As Tuffr32 said, ultimately a stock GTS4 will be slower than a GTSt because of its weight.

Also, it will be VERY VERY hard to find a good condition GTS4 in Australia, as they are much less common than GTSt. And then it will be worth more than a GTSt, something like $16k or $18k.

If you are interested in making an r32 GTS4 RWD, just take the ATTESA fuse out rig up a switch in the wiring. Its that easy.

I have a gts4 and its great :P it is a bit heavy to be nice and chuckable, but its still pretty nimble and lots of fun. Finding parts takes a bit longer, but thats always the trade off when you have something special.

Its not in the best nic, but I am slowly doing it up, should be a good car when im finished...

If your mate wants one, I say go for it! try anything twice

As I GTS-4 owner, I thought I'd chuck my opinion in.

The GTS-4 is pretty much a compromise between a GTS-t and a GT-R.

I chose it for the handling aspect.

True, My particular car will likely never see 12's in the quarter mile, but that's not why I bought it.

For me, I get my fun from taking those corners that mates in their falcons, bogandores, magna's and Audi's slow down to a stop for.

I have fun on the twisty's on the mornington peninsula (check out the downhill at Arthurs seat, but do the uphill first, it's some scary sh!t, forget doing that with a 2wd)

The R32 GTS-t and the R32 GTS-4 are practically the same car, save the ATTESA system. If you want that system at a much lower cost (of maintence, repair and initial cost) get the GTS-4. If money is not an issue, get a GT-R, if it's a quarter mile you're after, or AWD just isn't your thing, go the GTS-t.

One other thing to remember, the most common Skylines I see are R33 GTS-t's, and why not, they're a good car. R32 GTS-t's are fairly common, followed by the GT-R's and the R34's, What I'm getting at is that R32 GTS-4's are rare. On the down side, it means some GTS-4 specific parts can be hard to find (I hear the front diff can be particularly difficult to source) To offset that, all the same GTS-T engine parts can be used, along with a host of other parts.

Also, you can install a switch that can allow Rwd operation for Dyno's, or just some Dori fun. check the group buy section.

It's all up to you in the end.

I chose the GTS-4 for the handling, at a cheaper price than a GT-R, and knowing that there are probably less than a hundred in the country.

Just figure out what you want a car to do. Are you a handling man, or do you like the extra G's of planting the pedal? Do you like to stick to the road, or are you a drifter on the streets (Particularly expensive style in Vic witht he new hoon laws though)

It's all up to you.

If you want any particular advice, or opionion, feel free to PM me.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
