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.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
