I figure some one has put the two side by side at some point.

I'm looking at a R32 GTS4 currently and was considering swapping the rear guards for the GTR items . I have worked on more GTRs that the GTS4 so I'm unsure on panel dimensions and whether or not the rear guard swap will actually work or not. the one I'm looking at has a bit of rust around the rear window and in the lower rear guards.

doe anyone have a book of body dimensions for these? (or a panel repair manual for a GTR.)

I want to see if its doable or not without frigging around with other aspects of the car. the roof will have to be done as well as it has a rust spot in it.

thoughts?

I am researching it at this point. I hava rough idea on getting the panel work done and I know what parts are involved via FAST and the costs associated with getting them. (i'm on fairly good terms with a nissan dealer for parts.)

rust line - mid rear window left side where glass meets body

bubble rust mid rear window right side similar position

rust spot - lower rear left wheel towards the back.

roof is a given as it has a factory sunroof in place. every car I had with one of these had a rust spot somewhere in it.

rest of it externally appears fine. paint is faded but you get that with any car of this age that has been outside for a bit.

As R32 GTR front cuts are brought in, ask a front cut importer for the unwanted left over "rear cut". Parts galore to complete the repair. I'm GTS 4 lover, hope to see another on the road.

I know a fellow with a yard in osaka. parts probably will not be the issue here. good tip though. have already checked with nissan and the parts list I gave them came back good with nothing unavailable. prefer new stuff as I tend to build cars , keep them and drive them for quite a while.

R32 GTS4-t btw so a poor mans GTR.

all r32 GTS4's are turbo Chris :D

you can cut the rear guard out and weld in the replacement ones, as the chassis is the same dimension-wise (R32 GTS4 coupe that is). We use the same measurements for both on the rack when pulling em straight. I'll shoot you the measurement diagram via email in the next couple of days.

Unless you're talking about an R32 GTS4 sedan, which is a slightly longer chassis.

shan , no it is a coupe. negated that bit. thought that there was a NA variant of the thing. I have never worked on a GTS4 mainly GTR's in that chassis so I do not know a lot about the variants of it.

dimensions would be good if you have them.

Yes, pretty sure they also came out with the Rb25 N/A.

That's the R32 Rb25 (not the R33) so top feed injectors and no VVT.

Nah I don't think so, not in the R32 anyway. If you're thinking of the R32 GTS25, it was RWD only.

The RB25DE + AWD combo was used in the R33 GTS4 though.

Congratulations, as a fellow R32 GTS4 coupe owner, they are a fantastic purchase. As described on this forum -"the ultimate tinkerers car". When are you getting your adjustable toque split controller? I've bought a Stagea block for a 25 det upgrade. Will be keen to follow you progress. Any one can check book a GTR.

Oooh so it's all doable, nice mate!

About farken time :D

yep had a GOOD look at rohans car today. that spot is a guard issue. so we are go. still have a few minor details to sort out before it pops up at the workshop.

doing the RB25DET thing anyway. RB20 is catcus as I understand. I have to do a bit of body work on it first (well pay someone to do it- thats not what I do for a living.) before I fiddle. TSC - once I'm happy with it and it behaves the way I want it to - THEN I will do it.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
