I am sure it has but that is just plain wrong advertising...

Some people think they know everthing even without do research!

The R33 GTS-t 4WD does exist, but I only know of one in WA, so I expect that they are a very rare factory production. Similarly to the R33's with the VSPEC diff and such these cars came out with a feature that was not in the normal production. I'm not sure if it was ever considered a factory option, or whether they just produced them to see what the effect was.

Anyway I can say with some authority that it does exit, although the likelyhood of seeing one is very low.

GTS-t VSPEC. The model you are talking about with the vspec diff was released as a production model, just in very limited numbers. I did have the specs for it somewhere and it was a fair bit more expensive than the normal gtst too when new. Never ever heard/seen of a factory awd gtst tho.

Yeah I feel kind of lucky to pick one up, knew that they were limited.

I'm guessing that the car I saw might have been one of the in-house models from Nissan, they do make some to order for the big tuning houses aswell.

I'm not mistaken by what I saw, I was there with a Engineering who does certification of ADR's, and he had never seen one either. Possibly not a production model, but too stock to have been aftermarket job.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
