How To Turn A R32 Gts-4 Into A Gts-T Using The Gts-T Drive Train

[burnoutnut]

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

any info in coverting a gtst rwd into awd with gts4 bits

[Gts4RB30]

ffs the cost of converting the gts4 to rwd is ridiculous. Just get the friggin awd box leave out the front drive shaft and you will have 2wd, awd box is $800 and will handle same amount of power as rb25 box without front driveshaft. I know i own a gts4. And in future if u want an rb26 engine in and awd just chuck the front shaft back in. Another option is if you want 2wd/4wd install a kill switch on the fuse hit it and car will be in 2wd mode. Turn it off car back in 4wd mode with leavibng the shaft in all together. f**k modifying shit like that if you dont need to. Simple if it aint broken dont TRY and fix it.

monty you will need the intire under body driveline, hubs, frames, shafts, swaybars, struts, diffs, etc its a costly exercise mate btter off buying an awd car like the gts4 and growing from there

[mungy]

mate that sounds like a HUGE pain in the ass for no real reason, if the 32 GTST didnt come in rear wheel drive as standard i could understand y you would want to convert. sell the GTS-4 shell buy a GTST shell and make your life easier lol
