hey guys, i have been a rev head and lover of jap cars since i can remember, and its all most time to folk out my savings for a shiny nissan toy.

well, im not to sure on wat model skyline that is best on the road. Or what skyline i should get.

my bro thinks that the "GTS4" is faster then the "GTS25t" cos he says there is no wheelspin wen u punch it off the mark.. he also says i wont "gift wrap" it around a pole..

is this true? will the gts4 beat a gts25t on a quarter run. or is there a big weight difference, because of the 4wd.. is there a big difference in the way they both drive ?

there is heaps of different models or types of skylines.. like non turbo's and gt-watevers.. wat are they and wats the difference?

lol...

um... depends which model you are talking about! R32 is like the older squarer shape, which came after the Aussie R31's that were sold here.. then there is the R33 which is the curvier shape. And then there is the R34 which is back more to the squarer shape, and a lot more modern.

The R33 (or R34 for that matter) did not come in a turbo GTS4, so if you like the shape of the 33, then you're out of luck there.

What is a popular choice is the R32 GTS4 because it has both the RB20DET (turbo) and the 4WD system as used in the GTR's. Therefore a mildly modified GTS4 should be able to beat a similar R32 or R33 GTS-T in a straight line due to being able to get off the line quicker. After that it would be a pretty much even race. A lot would come down to drive skill.

I think the weight difference between an R32 GTS-T and R32 GTS4 is around 50kg.. probably not noticeable enough to matter.

As for handling, any skyline is not going to handle terribly.. but the GTS4 will of course handle better around corners and things.

GTS4 is not fulltime AWD so its not idiot proof, but i guess its a bit safer under all conditions. The 4WD in the GTS4 basically engages power to the front wheel when it senses a loss of traction.

Turbocharging the R33 GTS4 is a common dream, but not as easy as it sounds. Do a search on here, i remember its been covered a few times.

U don't need a 4WD skyline to challenge most of those rexes out there. Few mods on a RWD skyline and you'll be fine :)

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
