Im currently making 150rwkw with a slightly bigger turbo (R34), 10psi, intercooler and zorst with my GTS4. Not bad considering I have a very lazy fuel pump. (Same dyno, same night a near stock twin turbo 300zx made 139rwkw to give you a reference). All you have to do is pull the fuse to make it a RWD car.

Common problems

Hicas 4WS

AFM

Can have idleing problems mainly due to the AFM

Lazy fuel pumps

Stock suspension is starting to wear as they are over 10 years old now.

GTS4's are heavy but are great with the 4WD. It can get you out of some pretty messy situations. GTSt's are really nimble and quick. Have a look at the interior, does it look like it has done 70ks? Generally most imports have had the odemeter wound back a few thousand kms, but interior condition is a good way to guage. Also look for a sticker on the timing belt cover to see if it has been changed, then you know it has done more than 100,000kms.

Apart from that a very enjoyable car to drive and very easy to extract power out of. It is more of a sports car than the R33 mainly due to its hard edged look and aggresive interior. It does lack a little bit of torque down below but makes up for it high in the rev range.

Good luck with the purchase.

    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me  
    • That's my life. Past-Duncan has a lot to answer for
