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 $$$

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
