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

You'll need to join the club and become a paid member. You get to participate in heaps of cool stuff and get discounts by the club sponsors. Post up some pics.

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?

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
