rs4s, has same atessa as 33gtr, same part time awd, and yes, the 260rs was a factory rb25 vehicle, and came with a rb25 plate. autech bought the rb25 stageas and just swapped engine, front/rear diff and shafts. other than that, its same as every other stagea.

The AWD/4WD thing cropped up in another thread a few days ago, and I made this post:

Technically speaking, if a car has 4 wheels and is an AWD, then it's also 4WD. AWD is just a marketing term that someone came up with when they didn't want their everyday passenger car to be confused with a Cruiser/Paj/Patrol type car.

Generally, people consider off road type cars with things like high/low range gearboxes and lockable front hubs to be 4WD, and cars like your WRX/Liberty to be AWD. I'd put the Stag in the AWD camp, because it doesn't have a high/low range box, doesn't have lockable front hubs, doesn't have good ground clearance and wouldn't be much good off road. Landcruiser is a weird one because it's always in 4WD mode, but I'd still class it as 4WD because of the ground clearance, high/low range box and lockable front hubs. Foresters are a weird one too because some (all?) of them have a high/low range box, but I'd still go with AWD because of the lack of lockable front hubs, average ground clearance and of course it's a Subaru.

Basically, the way I see it, if it's the kind of car that's great for 4WD trails, it's a 4WD. If it's a passenger car that has all wheels driven for performance/safety reasons and it's shite off-road, it's an AWD.

All you are talking is slang. im talking about technical differences. all is all and 4 isn't always all. mong:)

As for this, you're both talking slang. There are no "technical" differences between 2 acronyms. All they are is acronyms. What matters most is how people interpret them. There is no difference between the MEANING of the 2 acronym's, provided the vehicle in question has 4 wheels. The difference is what people think they mean.

So everyone, call it AWD or 4WD, it honestly doesn't matter. It's the same damn thing. Just don't call your stag/GTR a fourbienyaanyaa.gif

well as far as i knew the AWD meant you didnt have to lock hubs in when back in the 80's the 4WD'd like patrol required you to get out the car and lock the front hubs in by a switch to engage them.

my car.

Differences are

gts4 has:

gts-t brakes

RB20 spec gearbox

shorter ratio diff

gts-t body (no flared guards)

gts-t interior trim.

Everything else is identical to gtr AFAIK.

so in other words, it much closer to a GTS-t than GTR. all it really shares with the GTR is the ATESSA system, pretty much everything else is GTS-t spec.

Afaik 32 gts4 dont share the same attessa anyway so its all different.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
