ive driven a fair few different model skyline's.....and i own a GTS-4 so i may be biased but i would never choose a GTS-t over the -4. they have many similarities to the GTR but without the hot price tag. And the good thing about the R32's is that the 4WD is run by a fuse so a switch can be hooked up easily to swap from rear wheel drive to 4WD instantly. good for drifting and racing. all round winner in my eyes.

***cheers***

Hi, the 4wd system operates the same - it is Attessa, i.e. uses loss of traction and g-force sensors to activate 4wd. The V-spec and maybe normal GTR 4WD may come on faster as the car has more power to cope with when it loses traction.

Reliability is good, get the car checked out by someone who knows GTRS/GTS4's.

Parts arent too bad, as parts for GTR are fairly common these days. Good thing about parts is that it is very similar to GTR and as NIssan in Australia has to stock the GTR parts it means any parts you have to get from Nissan that are the same as the gtr dont attract freight charges.

When you are looking for high performance parts it is easier to get them for a GTR than a GTST, sometimes parts makers dont do the GTST but they DO do the GTR.

RB20DET is a good engine and can handle hard driving if serviced regularly and if modified - done properly!

On a dry track at QLD raceway I was even with a GTST which was stock like mine, I was handicapped by the extra weight and him by loss of traction. If it had been wet...

They can do with a bit of extra power as the 'competition' these days has got greater Kw, they finally caught up.

tried against some mates cars, mine stock 1990 GTS4 except for 3 inch cat back exhaust.

Against a supercharged 3.8 holden commodore(2000) model, I got beaten from start(started on 1500 rpm - got jumped!), from rolling start was neck and neck, come to a corner and its all over.

against a 220 kw v8 ss auto (2001) from standing start right on his butt, he could not pull away.

I am happy with the performance until I get in my friends GTR!

I know a guy on skylines downunder who has a GTS4 with 280 kw from his RB20det - lots of mods and lotsa $$$

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
