Just wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between the GTS-4 and the GT-R. Mainly concerned about the AWD system, are they both the same or are their many differences. Also just any other basic differences minus the engine for obvious reasons.

Just curious as will be purchasing a R32 soon enough and as i already have a R33 GT-R engine, would it be cheaper to place the engine into a GTS-4?

Any help would be appreciated.

hi

gtr has different diff ratios - so may have to change the rear diff to match the gtrs front diff ratio to the gts-4 rear ratio- unless you use gts-4s front diff also.

gtr has mechanical rear lsd, gts 4 has viscous

gtr has different ratios in gearbox and i think also has heavier duty gears in box, tho box looks same on outside.

4wd system is the same - variable torque split to front wheels

chassis is the same

suspension takes same parts although spring rates may be different

wiring is very similar - see gtr workshop manual covers gtr and gts-4

gtr has thicker front discs and has directionally vented rotors, gts-4 has same rotors left and right - pads are same for each tho.

gtr has better seats, gives slightly more rear leg room in back

gtr is a 4 seater, gts-4 5 seater if they have small bums

gts 4 has same driveshafts, swaybars,

gtr has of course aluminium bonnet and front guards

both have abs brakes

gtr has super hicas 4ws as opposed to normal hicas on gts-4.

gtr ( more aggressive to cope with the extra power that gtr has??) may have a diff rate that 4wd comes on-?? not sure tho

prob a few others, but these are the main ones

hope that helps

Stephen

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
