I'D say get the gts4, i used to have one and I had the attesa (4wd system) on a Switch so I could have it either 4wd or 2wd. Fantastic mix of both.

do all gts4's have this attesa system on a switch????? if so then sounds like it is a gts4! if not how much to get it on a switch????

ITs not on a switch. However the system is can be found on the fuse. So its as simple as finding the wires and putting a switch in there. I think you'll find that the system wont reset untill the car is turned off. This means that you wont be able to drive in 4wd then flip the switch and hey presto rwd.

Correct me if i am wrong.

I met a guy at the SAU vic member sign up bbq a few months back who had set up a switch on his gts4 that let him switch from 4wd to 2wd and back.

I asked him about it not resetting etc and he said that his works perfectly - it switches back and forward fine.

GTS-T .. lighter.. and if you ever want to upgrade later on its much simpler to drop an RB25, do an RB30, or grab any other rb20.. rather than hunt down the 4WD variants (rare)

Also if you ever want to work on your car, less stuffing around with 4WD gearboxes, 2nd diffs, etc.. I had the choice myself when i went to import, but for some of those reasons changed my mind.

Anyhow, depends what you want to do with the car I guess. This may ruffle a few feathers, but if you want 4WD get a GTR :headspin:

Finding a good GTS4 may be hard also, not as many around.

I have a 92 GTS4 and it has side indicators they are put on as part of compliance so most 89 imports under the 15yo rule wont have indicators

If you are looking for mainly drift style driving go the gtst however if you want to drive through mountain roads go the gts4 where the extra traction helps heaps they also hold their value better as they are rarer

I wouldnt do much drifting...I prefer good acceleration & handling.

The car i am looking at is a 92 GTS4 Auto, with side indicvators. How do the auto's compare to the manuals?

My mate has a 92 GTSt & it doesnt have side indicators?

My car ia also Auto I find it quite good though technically you are losing a bit of power with the auto then some when its 4wd and its heavier.

Its really up to you whether u like auto or not you can always do a swap if its within your budget

I have only a small amount of mods and have so far put a WRX of my friends with more mods to shame from a standing start thanks to stalling the auto up.

If you want the 4WD then buy a GTR. The GTS4 is too underpowered to give the system justice anyway. It is actually slower than the GTST but better 60FT time. They are more expensive to fix and when you start getting the surging while cruising, it will give you the shits coz the 4WD pump costs shitloads and is a common problem with them. I have driven both and the GTST handles better in the dry than the GTS4. But the GTS4 does better in the wet....by far. Don't ask me why it handles better...it just does. The steering is really hard and the car jumps all over the place where the GTST stays on a much smoother line. All I can say is take both for a drive and be the judge yourself. Don't just take it down the street and back either. Drive it for a good half hour or so, usually the GTS4's float all over the place. The GTS4 will hold it's value for longer than the GTST. The GTS4 will wear out more clutches than the GTST.

Some may disagree with all of this but I only speak from my experience and I don't like to drive them. You should see what I mean when you drive this one. You will feel the difference straight away.

One last point. In my GTST I don't even think about racing people in the wet. It is dangerous for all. I think you would be more proned to doing this in a GTS4 which can only lead to an unhappy ending. But in the end...you be the judge!

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
