Done a search for this and cand find the info im looking for. A quick yes know answer would be awsome

The r32 gts4 has the same running gear as a gtr without the powerfull gtr engine. This means the r32 gts4 is heavyer than a gtst

I already know u can take out the chip to make the r32 rear wheel drive but can u or a mechanic take out the front drivechain and running gear to basically completely convert it to a gtst both in weight and performance?

cheers for your help

Hi there mate the gts4 actually weights more then the gtr as it doesnt have an alloy bonnet or gaurds like the gtr :rofl:, so this makes it the heavy weight champion :) welcome to my world, you will need some good brakes to stop her thats for sure, why are you contemplating changing from the 4wd setup, when you can practically bolt an rb26dett straight in!

you can take out the front driveshaft, which is the safe way to run it in RWD, pulling the AWD fuse out is still a bit of grey area. I wouldn't pull it out and do a full trackday on it. Its OK for a small blast. Most drag GTR's who wanna run RWD just drop the driveshaft.

However, the drifeshaft only accounts for a small amount of wheight of the car. The chassis of the GTS4 is different to a GTSt, its actually the same as a GTR. The weight comes from the added assemblies which are hard to take out and put back quickly/easily.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).

      Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
