yeah the engine is an rb20det.

the driveline is different, the attessa is not on the GTS4, the interior is different, really the only similarity is the fact that they are both skylines and are 4wd

That is not entirely correct, apart from the obvious engine, gearbox, guards, bodykit, intercooler, fuel pump, interior etc the R32 GTS4 has a lot of things in common to the R32 GTR. These are the things that I have noticed: CV driveshafts are the same, rear Diff cradleand K frame is identical, the layout of the drivetrain is identical, the suspension although being different spring rate and dampening rate they are identical in design, GTS4's do have the attessa system (including G-force sensors) and the two systems will work perfectly if connected together it's only the V-spec's that have the different faster attessa e-ts pro + active LSD system in the 32's, It is only the front brakes that are different on the GTS4 the front rotors and calipers are different, with a smaller in dia master cylinder and the firewall has a recess for a boosted clutch on the GTR, these are different on the GTS4/GTS-t and the boosted clutch wont fit without major modification, the fuel tank is different as the GTR one is plastic with a better baffle setup and is bigger than the GTS4/GTS-t steel one, the intercooler plumbing is different and would require a hole to be cut on the drivers side for the plenum to intercooler pipe and the pasenger side one would need to be enlarged to fit the 80mm pipe, and the brackets for the FMIC aren't there of course.

They both have the same hicas system design but the GTR has super hicas and there is 4 different wiring looms between the GTR/GTS4 models these are variables of the auto/manual with or without front active spoiler, the auto models having no clutch input on the hicas system of course. All the GTR/GTS4 models seem to have the same quick-responce ABS system as it goes hand in hand with the attessa system with the wheel speed sensors.

Nissan made a lot of things the same on the two models to save manufaturing and design costs. You only really find the difference when you have both models and you try to mix and match. There is probably more but I can't remember them all sorry.

    • The boot notch on the GK Tech rods is different to OEM yes. You'll find a solution. They are a good rod, I have used many of them for various setups, and no they are not ' just for drift cars', they are fine as an OEM replacement. Same goes for the tie rod ends although I found they transmitted a huge amount of NVH a normal balljoint masks, making it feel like there was something loose or knocking, even though there wasn't. If you used the same pieces on each side, no reason one angle should be different to the other side. Have you checked ride heights/measured the angles? Or just visual? Your alignment will be massively out of whack yes. Up to you; it is worth taking the time to learn wheel alignments and do it yourself. I have never had better wheel alignments and I haven't taken my car to a shop for, dunno...many many years. Spend a few hundred on equipment, do alot of research via online articles, youtube vids, and "trial and error" on setups. Eg, set it with too much toe-out, toe-in, too much or little caster, drive the same stretch of awesome twisty mountain road each time, learn how they feel and how the car's handling has reacted to your changes.

    • Nah I did not will have to another time. I only installed a blitz return flow FMIC probably 1000kms ago. When I took the old piping off there was basically no oil in piping. At this stage it has to be valve stem seals. When I roll down a big hill in gear and then throttle down the bottom, I get the same puff of smoke.
    • I believe when they added coolant to cool the turbo it negated the need for turbo timers as water continues to flow even when the engine is shut off I forget the actual terminology, I'll just say the coolant "percolates" through the turbo which stops the oil cooking itself to death  Well....that's how I see it, as all the plant at work that has coolant lines to the turbo can be shut down straight away, whereas the older plant with only oil feed to the turbo you need to idle it for a few minutes
