Hi guys

i just bought a skyline 1989 r32 gtst.

one of my mates is saying that its a type M because of the bigger break caliper at the front and its a five stud.

but my cousin took it for a spin today and said it was a gts-4!

i just wondering how do i check what type it is?

post your VIN number (from the firewall or blue compliance plate as per the first post) in this thread, and someone should be able to help you out.

Hey Toan!

I see you found your way over here. Good bunch of guys.... well most of them are. :P

It does sound like a GTS-4 btw

So you bought a 32 and nobody mentioned it was a gts4 when you bought it, there is a fair bit of difference between a gts4 and a pov pack gtst, i would also assume the price has a decent difference between the 2.

Torque gauge = GTS-4. Unless they did a cluster swap at some stage, and the gauge is disconnected. Still the only reason to do this would be to rip you off with lower KM's, or because of major accident damage.

With a gts-4, you'll struggle to beat a gts-t off the line (unless it's wet) but you'll stick in corners like nobodies business (provided you spend the $ on tyres. Number 1 priority)

m specs have sunroofs

1. That is wrong

2. They are reffered to as "Type M"

pov pack gtst?? A gts4 has a heavy 4wd system which, with its rb20 engine it is not able to make use of. I would pay more for a gtst than a gts4 any day.

well GTS4 will be awd so look at the front Wheel and see if there is a drive shaft

m specs have sunroofs!!!im not 100% so but hope it helps!!

Nearly every r32 gtst/4 is a typeM. It is quite rare to find one which isnt.

The best way to tell is the 4pot calipers on the front.

lol what a load of rubbish. Please back up any statements with proof...

There is barely a difference in price too, due to the extra weight from the awd system it doesnt give them a great advantage over a gtst

guages, sunroofs, brakes????? I bet gts4's also had different wheels, better check them cause nobody changes wheels......

You will never be truly sure until you see the driveshafts to the front hubs so may as well start there

thanks for all the replies guys!

i have a gts4! mate of mine said i have the drive shat at the front too!

but the thing is i have the bigger brake calipers at the front. Previous owner must have done a swap?

i got the car for cheap on road too so im happy!

Im assuming the gts4 is the same as a 32 gtr, in a 32 gtr you can remove a fuse and make it rwd, maybe that has been done to by pass a problem with the awd system.

Also from what i have researched the gts4 is non turbo, does yours have a turbo?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
