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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • 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.
