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

    • (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.
    • Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things 
    • Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..
    • I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
