Hey all, im new.
i live in the United States, and just ordered a 1990 R32 Sedan through an importer.

its finally coming up on the 25 year federal exemption.

my issue here is, ive been searching everywhere, and cant find anything on R32 GTS4 (AWD) SEDANS.

does anyone know production numbers, info, tech, anything? i simply cant find ANYTHING on a GTS4 SEDAN.

i only find GTS4's or SEDANs, not both in one.

anyways, thank you all in advance for at least looking at my post.

Grats on the purchase, I have a gts4 four door myself. Not sure about total numbers but there are a few things such as the gts4 does not have the full atessa ets spec 4wd system that the gtr does. Apart from that the gts4 4 door shares most of the stuff that applies to the gts4 2 door. I would say most if not all other parts are interchangeable with a normal rwd 4 door. I have heard the ratios and spec of the gts4 gearbox is slightly different to a gtr as well.

Look at BC BR. Look at getting the suspension bushes and such done.

BC BR? i want to do all the bushings, suspension, and chassis bracing but cant find too much for my car.

i can find parts for GTS4 coupes, or for GTS-T sedans, but i dont know if parts will be compatible from either (suspension wise)

From memory I have TEIN HA and HR Coilovers in the car, but the suspension is as hard as a rock almost, Great driving car, but not on uneven roads.

My car also has chassis bracing along the bottom of the car, from the rear subframe.

I have TEIN unknowns and they are too stiff for the roads (Sydney roads). Great on the track and smooth flowing roads. Got Ohlins with relatively soft Eibach springs for street duties.

Look into HSD AD (I think there's an R32 GTS option), they are pretty comfy (in my mate's S15).

I dont know about that, you'd probably need to troll through the forums trying to see if theres any info on that, an uneducated guess would be that the suspension mounting points are probably shared with the GTR, but thats just a guess.

Hey AZ, Cool you joining the four paw club, i Have a 93, A31 Cefiro SE 4, All my atessa electricls, abs sensors, abs pump, atessa Computer, abs computer, Girro sensor under the centre consol, are the same as yours and the same as an R32 GTR, I now run a R33 GTR gearbox, GTR axles & brakes all round, Tien Ciol ova's with 13 damper adjustments, They are perfect now i have them set up properly , its hard to understand that different wieght of the cars makes a big differemce, back all your dampers right of, then asses your springs damper rate as you can obtain the correct spring rates if need be them adjust the front dampers half way and see how that goes, My Tiens are halfway adjusted on the front & nothing on the rear, when i had them adjusted to full damping i was getting arse bounce over uneven surfaces, now its all good with nothing, i bought mine second hand in good order, for $800 nz & they came of a R32 GTR track car that crashed, Also a must is much hevier sway bars, mine is 25mm on the rear, i still have a 19mm on the front as i dont rearly need to change it, when i fitted the Tiens i dropped the Cefiro down 30mm with i good for me but i had to fite adjustable suspension arms on the rear 3 each site to get the camber & caster correct on the rear end but the front only neede a tow in adjust ment done so no adjustables on the front suspension 1m neg camber perfect, Well i could wafflel on all night ha, but our cars are almost the same, so check out the specs on my atessa 4 Cefiro, any questions no problem, Jamind, P/s Had a good race yesterday with a late model v8 5 Litre plus Holden He ran out of grunt at 220 ks , i pulled out to pass him in 4th changed into 5th @ 240 ks, Ha you should have seen his jaw drop it was to die for

I'm pretty sure the GTS4s gave different suspension set ups to the GTST, however I'm positive they are compatible with GTR components. It also shouldn't matter about wheth its 4 door or not I put gtst coupe springs in my gtst sedan. Also I found a great website with heaps of info on r32 build dates etc

http://www.gtrusablog.com/2013/03/nissan-skyline-r32-serial-or-chassis.html

If you need any more help feel free to ask, here in NZ we got every single model of r32, even the GXi 1.8l ones :) and we have a shit ton of 4 doors

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
