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.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
