Gts-t Without A Turbo???

[JMP 82]

I have a friend who has made a bet with me. I won't say which side I am on but here is the question I have.

Is there such a thing as a Skyline GTS-T without a turbo? In any model/year...

This may sound like a very simple question, as I am aware the second T stands for turbo, but apparently there is a "poverty pack" available that people can buy with GTS-T's that come with no turbo and non-turbo running gear. I need to know if this is a fact, and if this "poverty pack" was released direct from the manufacturer. Thanks in advance for your help...

the skyline did come out in a non-turbo form YES.

its known as a GST..... hence no T for turbo.

[BigMicky]

I agree with CS 180

Yup,

GTS, no turbo

GTS-T has turbo.

What could be simpler than that ?

Thanks for the replies guys, however, as I mentioned in my first post, I am aware that the second 'T' stands for Turbo. The reason I ask is because in one of the more recent Fast Fours Magazine editions, there was a letter written by someone who had purchased a GTS-T that came without a turbo from Japan. When he asked if there are Skylines without Turbos that are still called GTS-T's, the response was that there were some with what is called a 'poverty pack'. A GTS-T without a turbo... All I need to know is if anyone can confirm or deny this with any reference to a reliable web-page/article etc...

Sorry to be a pain, and as I know, it seems like a simple question but this response in the magazine has knocked me off a bit...

It sounds to me like some wanker screwed some GTS-T badges onto his GTS ?

The poverty pack is the GTS. As in all cars there is a reason for the Gt, GTR, IS, GTS tec they are an indication of what is in the car. There would be no real reason to badge it as a GTS-T with no turbo or any of the extra gear, iebrakes. Who ever says that there is an NA GTS-t is slightly confusted. It would be like making a BMW 325is without the 2.7 engine, ABS, upgraded breaks or anything. It would just be a 325i then

Fast fours?.....nuff said. There is no GTS-Ts with out turbos.

[342Four]

yea ive seen something like that too

a frend of mine sister bought a gts25t and it doesn't have a turbo

seems to me like an engine swap and dodgy sale to boot

Complete list of factory skyline coupe models. Im pretty sure all GTS-Ts have the turbo engine.

One very simple way to tell, GTS has four stud wheels, GTS-T has five stud wheels.

If it only has the four wheel nuts, someone has just changed the badges over on the car.

The poverty pack is the GTS.

the poverty pack R32 is actually the GXi, which in base model came with awesome drum brakes and steel wheels with hubcaps. It has a 1.8L CA18i engine.

in the R33's the poverty pack came with an RB20E called a GTE.

in the R34's it was the GT which came with a RB20DE Neo engine.

Non turbo RWD R32's and single turbo RWD R32's have the same chassis designation, ie HR32 or HCR32. The only thing that sets em apart to the unweary eye is the badge on the boot. Most people that import cars run chassis' through the Nissan VIN database to check the car's production details prior to purchasing for this reason.
