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.

      Alcon TA6 Calipers on R33 GTST - Flexing

      By Sydneykid · Posted

      Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
