ROLL CALL!

my brothers formal is on tuesday night - and as he was discussing a few weeks ago he was hoping if we could all do a drive thru for him

he wants to get there at 6 and its being held at the hilton in the city

hopefully some of you guys can help him out :D

This tuesday? damn, wish you'd asked a couple of days ago :)

I'll try to get out of cricket, but it will depend how many people want to play

GTS4 ? ? ? Is that the AUS made RB20det wit 4wd ? ? ?

JDM

The GTS4 is essentially a poor man's GTR. When Nissan released the GTR, the Japanese folk who lived in the mountainy areas with the rough roads and snow and crap really wanted them, but couldn't afford them. Nissan built an RB20 powered, heavier version of the GTR. The GTR uses all the fancy aluminium parts for some panels, and running gear etc. The GTS4 uses steel. So basically: it's the standard GTST body (so not wide body like the GTR), with the ATESSA 4WD from the GTRs, single turbo RB20.

GTS4s are less common because it is hard to find ones that aren't rusted out due to all the snow and salt.

Whats planned for it? I have such a soft spot for gts4's. More so when rb20's are kept.

The little motor that could!

For now, probably just a brake and turbo upgrade. HICAS lock out, drift switch. Cosmetic changes.

Down the track I'm going to look at a different engine (maybe a 26)

If I have my car by then, I will. If I don't... well let's just say I aint walking.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
