I've been looking at getting a r33 lately as I have wanted one since I was 14 and now looks like a good time to start looking for one

And as I am a green p plater with high power restrictions means no turbo for me so n/a it is

But I want to know your opinions on 2 different cars in the gts and gts4

Atm I'm thinkin the gts 4 but I hear it's more petrol hungry because it's heavier and then an awd would need more maintenance then a rwd

And I'm not a guy that really rips burn outs so awd won't hurt me

Would love the gtr drive train and transmission to because then when I'm off my p's I can get something like a gtr engine to chuck into it

So yeah give me ur opinions

Cheers

well i have a GTS4 and i can tell you that the extra 100-150 kgs that the 4wd system weights wont make much of a difrence to your fuel consumption.

And there is no extra maintence because its an AWD.

and even after you get off your Ps u just do a turbo conversion you will have a single turbo 4wd car which is a baby GTR in my books.

Think about it dont jump that was a mistake i made with my first car take your time

Like hanibal said.

The 150 odd kg doesn't hut fuel consumption too much with no more maintancence that needs to be done than a GTST.

What are you using the car for? If its just a regular steet car id highly recommend a GTS4. The ATTESSA system is an extra saftey net to catch you when things get hairy.

The only down side to a GTS4 is that you can really feel the extra 150kg being thrown around and lugged around.

Another downside of a 33 GTS4 is that its not as easy as a 32 to lock into RWD. On the upside the ATTESSA system is quicker a 33 than a 32.

The reason I bough a GTS4 was for the extra grip (even though its now being used as a drift biatch) .. and there is a HEAP of it. I also like the notion of RWD and AWD car without having to think. Its also different.. GTST's are spreading like AIDs.. so why not get something different?

My vote is for a GTS4

hehe mate im sure you can understand that i jack the price up so that i get what i want and that the person buying has the feeling that they got cash off the price so yea .... cause say i wanted 12k and it was advertised at the price the buyer would want to bring it down and i cant afford to do that.

Im looking to probley start being serious about selling in 2-3 weeks and yea if i cant get what i want for it to buy my r34gtt i will most defently turbo it.

the idea of launching a single turbo skyline with the 4wd system is awesome :) makes me smile haha!... but hmm gets me thinking ill miss the 4wd system for sure...

Any1 out there got some good stuff to say about a gts

Buy the GTS4, kit it, respray it, buy some nice rims, re-do the interior and all that other cosmetic bits.

Then in 3 years buy this;

or drop a fully rebuild RB26/30 into it.

That way you can keep your precious baby that you've worked on for years, without having to sacrifice it for something more grunt.

Thought I may add in my 2 cents...

1. There are s1 gts4's.... mine is an example...

2. There is a real advantage in a gts4 over gts's and gtst's, that being that they arent a comon version of the skyline at all, especially in 33 form. My car is turboed and I have been pulled over a number of times, the cops allways start trying to throw power to weight figures at me about too much power per ton so they can give me a 200 dollar fine..... but as soon as I say its a gts4 not a gtst, they go whats that.... I explain the car is awd (like the gtr) so heavier, they go back to their little hand book of common hoon car specs to do the conversion and it always comes out fine because my car is not on their list...... so even though it is more powerful then what is legal, because they dont have the offical specs on the vehicle, they cannot prove it.

3. It is really handy to have attessa helping you out when you need, and I also have a 4wd torque split controller, which basiclly allows me to decide how much power I want delivered to the front and rear... wheather it be 5% front and 95% rear like stock, right up to 50-50%.

4. Im off my p's in about 4 months, I am starting to save up to drop in a 26 (or forge) havent decided yet... but what I do know is that if I want to drop in a 26, its much easier then in a gtst.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
