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.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
