This is probably a stupid question...

I know a GTST has a turbo therefore making it a GTST.

But if you got a standard GTS and bolted on a turbo, does it make it a GTST???

or just a GTS with a Turbo.

Probably a dumb question but anyway.

Im wondering this because I have a GTS and want to turbo it.

Thanks anyways

Everything is stock except the 17inch rims i bought the car with.

Another question...

Its a stock GTS25 4 door, 5 speed auto, I didnt want anything overly fast because im still only 17. I figured it would be a good car to learn on. So what are some good mods to start with and slowly build up. Keep in mind I have a limited budget and a new P plater.

Can I get some good power out of an auto RB25DE?

Im thinking my first mod would be to stick in a k&n panel filter and an exhaust system one i got the cash. Sound good or shit?

By the way I havnt put in the turbo yet, comes later.

Thanks, ciaoz

I've decided with my car that I'm not going to bother doing any mods to it, and I'll just trade it in at the same car dealers for a GTT towards the end of uni. Some prick recently rubbed my bumper quite badly and did a runner so I have to get that fixed first :P

Whats the difference between turbos and superchargers? (apart from the obvious, power sources).

Would you get more lower end torque with a supercharger? and would it be better with a supercharger than a turbo?

Also whats the deal with superchargers and bovs?

Im not looking at doing this soon by the way, I want to gain experience before I do any serious modding.

Sorry if my questions sound dumb

even if you did hub conversion, brakes, turbo, manifold, intake i/c, dash cluster, ecu.. blah blah blah to make it identical to a gts-t it will only be a gts-t replica

as far as registration goes it will just be a modified gts because the vin plates shows this

gtr now? what the?..

well anyway, the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is that, the compressor on a turbocharger is driven by the exhuast gases leaving the engine...

the supercharger's compressor is driven by the engine crank via a belt.

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
