Stock Gts Swap For Stock Gtst?

[Darkness_Ryda1]

Hi,

Im happy with my R33 GTS and it runs great!, i've had it for a couple months now and i convinced my friend to get one. he got a GTS-T. i've driven it around a couple times and love it! feels so good. Im just wandering whether it would be worth to keep my GTS engine and putting in a turbo or to swap the engine i have now with a GTST stock turbo? my friend said it wouldnt be worth putting in a turbo on the engine i have in now because ill never get the same power as what a stock turbo would have.Im also wanting to get it before the laws kick in for non-turbo P platers! What you guys rekon? any help would be great.

sell it and get a turbo one

will cost you way more to build a car to gtst spec

arkon is correct...

by the time you do brakes, gearbox, etc... you're looking at much more money...

the only thing feasible would be to throw a completely different motor in there... i.e. V8 like NA_R33

After about a year of contemplating whether to turbo my rb20de gts iv decided not to.. I bought a gts t yesterday and i couldnt be happier!! I think selling it and buying a gts t is the best way to go dude..

If you already have your p plates they have made it now once you are on your p plates you can get a turbo, supercharger, v8 any time now. As long as you have your p plates before july:)

Where did you hear this? i got pulled over when i got my car and was talkin to the cops, they actually said i better get a turbo before the rules come in. i was told if you already have a turbo and on P's then its alright, but if not then you get in trouble

u got it lucky. i got pulled over and i asked about the laws here in Vic that are comin in July, n i got told it dusnt matter if u have a turbo before, wen the laws come in u cant drive it. least its what i got told. anyone from Vic heard anything different? im also considering selling my gts for a gtst but i cant bring myself to it, it purrs to much to let it go lol. btw anyone know if u can just hammer out a dent easily in the rear bumper without cracking it or doing more damage? i got hit while my car was parked at work, only damage is on the rear bumper (nothing serious) with a dent approx. 10cm heigh by 4cm wide on the passenger side corner of it. im thinking of just tapping it with a rubber mallet and buying sum paint to patch it up

An exemption?

Basically it all comes down to how much you love your car. Selling the gts and buying a gtst will work out cheaper, but its means selling your current gts. I thought about this for a long time, but just can't do it. I love my car.

So... this means changing everything. Atm I'm still saving to do it, but its going to take a while to get all the parts.

Your will need.

- RB25DET engine, loom, ecu etc.

- GTSt gearbox

- GTSt diff

- GTSt hubs and brakes (which means brake booster etc.)

Basically means ripping everything out, leave just the shell and start again.

hmm it seems like so much trouble, time and money... i love my car, but i have decided to sell my GTS, i love my car now and i know i will love my GTS-T even more when i eventually get it. Also i was told that putting an RB25Det in a GTS is classified as a modification which means it is more to insure than insuring a GTS-T.

[linedup33]

depending who u have ur insurance with it would stay the same, im presuming just cars which will stay the same.

both looms are the same, the brakes are different but u can get slotted rotors for a 180 which will direct fit ur na r33

i am unsure about the diffs.

hope that info helps u out mate.

[H@ME]

yeaha i know the loom engine mounts etc are all the same i know the brakes are different, however i am also wondering about the diff, i am going ahead with the conversion of rb25det into my GTS 33 skyline, so if anyone know ths the different specs of the diffs for gts-t n gts please let me know. kind regards hame

gl with buying ya gts-t

[NISZILA]

Diffs are different. not sure how.... can't remember, but there is a difference

the ratios are different, everything else is the same - strength wise. (compared to LSD optioned NAs)

[NISZILA]

Thats right... that means running with an NA diff you'll get faster acceleration, but a lower top speed compared to running with a turbo diff. (correct me if I'm wrong)

[Eug]

spot on
