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...

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...

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

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.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
