Been looking around for a Skyline for the last few weeks and stubled across a GTS4 the other day. Are they any good, or just plain too slow since they're N/A ? If anyone out there has one, what times have you run the 400m in ? Is the 4wd handling a lot better than in a rwd ?

Hmmm... they certainly still look nice and given the savings in both the cost of the car (over a turbo) and insurance wise, I might be tempted! :)

Opinions anyone ?

I have been looking for one of these myself for a couple of months, they are a rather rare beast.

There are two that I know about, PVAs car, and another for sale in Adelaide at the moment. Standard they are certainly no rocketship, but have a lot of good features that come standard.

It would be rather easy to add a turbo (or two) and end up with a rather quick car, for around half the cost of a GTR. If you buy a GTSt, it would be just about impossible to fit 4WD or ABS onto it later.

Smoking the tyres and sliding around all over the place may be fun, but it is neither fast nor safe, particularly in the wet in my opinion.

I have seen gearboxes go for about two grand. then you need a clutch, flywheel, lots of small parts. You need to fit a clutch pedal.

It sounds like a heap of real expensive trouble to me. I am waiting to buy/import a manual. They do not cost any more to buy, so why bother.

I've been driving a R33 gts-4 sedan for just over a year now, it's not to bad just don't get a sedan...... it is very hard to get parts for it, no info is available so it is a see if the part fits deal.

Also the brakes and stud patern is an issue if stock.

Still a fun car ....:D

New Breaks and Rotors can be purchased on DBA (Disk Brake Australia) australia. I have sent my old Rotors to them and they told me they will produced them... so if anyone need new Rotors and Brake pads give them a Ring...

it's 4 stud GTS-4 Rotors etcs...etc.

cheers

Joe :D

I hope this helps people!

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
