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?

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 :)

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
