Hi guys, need a bit of help on this. I've got 2 options basically:

1. Get a cheap r32 gts4, transplant a 2.8stroked rb26 with 2530s and support systems.

2. A minimally modded (intake,exhaust) r32 gtr with about 140ks.

Which one would u choose and why?

What other differences are there between a r32gtr and r32gts4 apart from the engine? I know the gts4 is lighter and apparently the gearbox has a shorter ratio. Can u tell me some more?

Thanks tremendously

how much do you think a stroked rb26 with bigger turbo's will set you back? (including the cost of the conversion, and support systems).

at the end of the day option # 1 will still be a gts-4. so you wont have the decent brakes, seats, flared gaurds, different atessa system etc. and you will also have poorer resale value.

hawks, ive got a running fairly good condition gts4 at 45k and a 2.8Lrb26 with hks2510s around 15k, labour will be max around 3k.Planning for r33 brakes, support will cost round 10-15k.

r32 gtrs here valued at 100-120k depending on mods + condition.

Looking at a bargain one at 85k (mild mods). Still, it's a gtr :rofl: but im not that happy to spend another 20+k to get it to around 550-600bhp where i want it

okay, put it this way. i'll give you the example in aussie dollars.

option #1 gts-4 approx $15-20 grand

stroked rb26 with larger turbo's and box and fuel system, exhaust, brakes, labour etc approx $20 grand

option # 2 a decent r32 gtr maybe with a few basic mods $35 grand

at the end of the day you could have either a modified gts-4 worth about $20 grand or a gtr. i would take the gtr thanks.

Gobiz;

What do you want the car to do? Street cred/drag/cct race/motorkhana/daily driver or something else altogether?

the gts4 has the same attesa system as the GTR. the differences are the brakes, flared guards, interior is different, wheels, engine, gearbox is same box weaker in GTS-4. and thats about it, i have a 4 door GTS-4 so it looks like a normal everyday car ( sleeper ).

:(

Yeah, and you'll never get over the look on the guys face in the GTR at the drag strip after you leave him in your wake of your $20k GTS4.

Who cares if its gts4 or gtr or gts-t for that matter, if its a skyline with a rb26 and 2530's, it will haul, end of story.

Any skyline deserves respect.

You are right, the gearboxes are absolutely identical, ratios and all. The R32 GTS4 with the RB20 has the different lower gear ratios. The R33 GTS4 is the same as all the GTRs.

I looked at this GTS4 vs GTR thing myself a while back, it is a tough decision. At the end I suppose it depends on what you really want. If you want a GTR, only the real thing is going to satisfy that......

But if you want a great sleeper, a GTS4 with stock four stud wheels and stock on the outside would make a great street sleeper. You are a lot less likely to have it vandalised or stolen as well.

    • So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?
    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
