im buying a new car very soon, and there's a few R32 GTS-4's around, which go for roughly the same price as an R33 GTS-T.

i dont know which to choose...the GTS-4 im sure would have wicked handling with 4WD and 4WS, but are an older car than the R33.

being a 4WD, it has more drive shafts, i look it as more things that can have problems, same with the 4WS, but im not sure, i dont know heaps about skylines, even though im sure they are all put together well, so im asking, what do you guys reckon would be best?

1990 - 1992 R32 GTS-4 or 1993 - 1995 R33 GTS-t???

Any opinions would be great.

Depends on what your after from the motor as well. RB20DET vs RB25DET, and you really dont wanna get into that debate.

Just be aware that the R32 GTS-4 weighs a fair bit more than the normal GTSt R32. If you have any problems with 4WS its easy enough to install a lock kit for a few hundred dollars and immediately be rid of any issues.

For risk of offending many GTS-4 owners on here, id either go with an R32 GTSt or R33 GTSt... both great fun cars. Just depends on what styling and powerplant you prefer.

We have an R32 GTS4 and an R33 GTST in our family and I can tell you now that the R32 has bugger all torque. You'll find you're always flogging the piss out of it just to get some decent performance. The SR20 has more torque......go figure.

The 4WD is fun none the less.

depends what u want, ive always loved the way a r32 looks, age dosnt really mean much. and like if u want 4wd then yer get a gts-4 but if its not that important, then your choice should be between an r32 gtst and r33 gtst. and just remember r32's still have all power options and are a comfortable ride etc :(

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
