Hi recently i bought a crashed gts-t for its drive train to put in a gts-4 rolling shell.Now along the way i had some issues/ road blocks and i would like to help you get through all these

now the parts you will need to put the gts-t into a fts-4 are as follows

things you need from the gts-t are

motor

gear box

gear box mount

tail shaft

diff

things you will need from the gts-4

motor mount brackets

motor mounts

gear box cross member needs (modifying) ill put a pic up

diff

half shafts (front and rear)

diff cross memeber.

1. Now the first issue i ran into was the motor mount brackets they need to be changed from the gts-t to the gts4/gtr (same part number) and the rubber motor mounts as the gts-4/gtr (same part number)

2. gear box cross memeber from the gts-4/gtr will need to be modified ... do this buy welding a peice of 40mmx78mm steel tubing .... like so (you will have to measure it your self

so now we have the gear box and motor in....

3. the tail shafts are different on the two car so the best thing to do is take out both diffs so they are side by side....(seen here) You need to use the gts-t diff with all the gts-4 internals (or you can get a diff shop to swap all internals)

:you will need to pull out the diff internals from both diffs leaving just the pinion gear in... you will need to swap the crown gear (to suit the gearing in the gts-t diff ) and the diff center because the gts4 is a 6 bolt half 30 spline (i think) shaft not 5 bolt 28 spline half shaft like on the gts-t

:you will need to take the backing plate of the gts-4 and swap it to the gts-t diff.

:you will need to use the gts-4 dif crossmemeber but throw washers in there as spacers

now the diff should be all sorted

4. front half shafts will need to be cut as short as possable and throw back into the front coz with out them the wheel wobbles coz it doesnt have something to localize it

there you go you went from using GTS-T drive train and put it all into a GTS-4 body shelll

i hope this helps ppl out

    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
    • Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.
    • Great work Duncan, any events local you will give it a test once all done?
