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’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
