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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
