In a GTSt it wouldn't be possible to have the awd system, because the chassis is different to GTS4's and GT-R's

Would be a better to carry the conversion out in a GTS4 (non-turbo with the awd system) :D

the purple "GT-R" Advan Racing in Syd (or was it NZ?) has was a GTS4, with full RB26 engine/gearbox transplant and fenders done to it ;)

Or you could swap the RB26 over, convert it to rwd (you can keep the gearbox, basically the same internally just the difference is the awd transfer case/diff/etc that's attached onto the GT-R box)

This is all related to the R33 btw

does the gts4 look exactly same as our 2door gts-t or are they only 4door ?

would i have to change the diff/gearbox ect in a gts4 or its same as gtr and wont break under hight power wid a rb26 in it ?

thnx again  :cheers:

33 GTS4s look the same as a 2 door GTSt, and they also came in 4 door sedans

Another thing to remember is that since they (GTS4) are non-turbo, they will have the 4-stud hubs and GTS brakes, meaning if you want to swap an RB26 in, a brake upgrade would be needed (brake upgrades are required here in Vic if you want to swap another engine in anyway, not sure about NSW)

You might as well swap the gearbox/diff and possibly the ATTESSA system as well~

An RB26 swap into an R32 GTS4 would be heaps cheaper and far more simpler and straight forward, because the drivetrain is basically the same as the R32 GT-R's..

Nissan fact: After seeing alot of their R32 GTS4s being upgraded to RB26 making a cheaper GT-R, Nissan changed the drivetrain in the R33 GTS4's and made them non turbo :) Same thing could possibly happen to FPV with their F6 Typhoon, being very similar to the Ford MkII XR6Ts, an ECU flash from the Typhoon and a bigger intercooler fitted to a MkII XR6T would make it a Typhoon on the cheap~!

R32 GTS-4's are Turbos and they're all TYPE-M's so they have the TYPE-M kit, brakes, steering wheel, etc. RB20DET with the GT-R 4WD. Bit heavier then the GTSt but they get the launch in a straight line, the cornering is sublime and I can pull away form WRX's in the wet.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
