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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
