R33 Gts-4

[Warpspeed]

Not sure what it is, have a look ar the engine number, its down near the alternator. At least that will tell you if its an RB20 or an RB25. The neo looks completely different to what you have there.

[Nameless EJ6]

Well it definetely looks like an RB25DET from the top of it..

If it were an RB25DET, would it say "RB25DET" down there?

And if it were N/A, would it say "RB25DE" ?

I'll ask the guy to look down there and take a picture.

[SS8_Gohan]

is there a Turbo Attessa R34?? I thought the R32 was the only Skyline with AWD and Turbo?? Thought 33 and 34 only have RB25DE's,

u 100% sure about that Warpspeed?, cos i would be VERY interested to track down a R34 AWD Turbo.

cheers.

waiting for u to pop ur head up in this thread Joe

oh EJ6, Pva_Glue (Joe) had (still has??) a R33 GTS-4. I agree with Joe, i think for a GTS-4 to be Turbo, it has happened AFTER coming out of the factory.

cheers.

[Pva_Glue]

This is Attessa the 4WD behind GTR and GTS-4

it should look like these, I am sorry but I can not see very well in your PIctures...

as you can clearly see the front drive train in the photo.

cheers

So that pic is an R33 GTS-4? I'm not understanding that..

There is such a beast?

I've been asking the guy I'm buying it from exactly what it is, and he is telling me that there was an R33 GTS-T with AWD in japan.

I really hope my engine is from the stagea though, that would be cool.

EDIT: and this last picture you just posted pva_glue, what is that?

Basically an AWD RB25DET with attessa? :confused:

[Nameless EJ6]

I found this page on a good search. http://www.jbskyline.net/R33/Sedans/

Now what is the GTS25t?

Anyways, heres a quote from that site.

just like the R32, the R33 sedans came in rear- and all-wheel-drive forms, with 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual trans-missions available.

:confused: Confused even more now.

I guess the only real way to figure shit out is to live in Japan.....

[Warpspeed]

Hi Joe, you finally sold it ! I am still looking for a manual R33 GTS-4, but they are very scarce indeed.

Not sure about your comment on the GTS-4 drivetrain being not as strong as the GTR drivetrain. There are only two differences the clutch, and the n/a cars have only four stud wheel hubs.

If there are any other differences please elaborate, because I have researched this quite thoroughly, and it is exactly why I want a manual car myself.

[Nameless EJ6]

SO what we have established here is that there WAS an R33 GTS-4 turbo of some sort..? (a rare one?)

[Warpspeed]

There probably are lots of R33 GTS-4 turbos around, but none from the factory, it is a popular modification as you would expect.

There are lots of single turbo GTRs getting around as well, that does not mean it must have been factory option at some time.

[Nameless EJ6]

If it is a Turbo'd RB25DE.. is there any real big problems with that?

Is the block similar to the turbo block?

[Warpspeed]

The only difference is the pistons, everything else is identical.

[Nameless EJ6]

Yea that's what I would have figured. Which isn't a real big deal because I can have put my own in there and lower the compression..

Anyways, I asked the guy what the engine code is (near the alternator) and he told me it says RB25DET..

Do they say that exactly down there?

[Rezz]

>Nameless EJ6: I can understand your confusion man, that turbo RB25 probably WAS taken out of a GTS-4...

Check the second car down on this site...

It was a GTS-4, but now the owner proudly hails that it's a "GTS-4t", or a mini GT-R. He had a turbo and manifold from a RB25DET bolted on to his RB25DE.

So, there were no GTS-4t's officially, the owners modified their GTS-4's to turbo spec.

[Nameless EJ6]

Thanks.. it could be. I'm hoping it's from the stagea..

If he looks near the alternator he will see either these two codes right?

RB25DE

RB25DET

?

He says the code is an RB25DET...

[memphis]

Nameless EJ6, its a rb25det, this is given away by the intercooler piping, the heat sheild over the turbo, and the stock BOV.

but if its a awd or rwd i donno..

[Nameless EJ6]

that's good. Then hopefully it's the stagea. That will make me feel special!
