Hey

Can anyone tell me the difference between a R33 GTS-T 1996 series 2 and R33 GTS-4 1996 series 2.

I know the gts4 is 4WD Turbo (and so it handles like a gtr) if it has GTR 4WD transmission.

Also price differences etc. (r they cheaper for eg?). also if u wanna convert to rwd how much, pros, cons etc. .

the one im interested in is a RB25det conversion and is a 2door- and asking price is 11g's. advice plz

Cheers

If you really want to go through a conversion to RWD, you'd be better off saving yourself the trouble and looking at GTS-Ts' rather than GTS-4s'.

You'd be able to pick up a decent S2 GTST for maybe 14-17k

sorry for not directly answering your questions by the way.

Thats correct. Only R32 GTS-4's came in a turbo version. R33 GTS-4's only came in non-turbo, so if you find one, it has had an engine swap. Engine would have come from a Stagea most likely as a GTST RB25 wouldn't fit due to the front diff. The whole sump is shaped differently.

It may also be an RB25DE + t which you should look out for. If it is a non-turbo engine with a turbo wacked on, you will be very restricted with mods mainly due to the higher compression ratio.

also with the r33 gts4 if you put a conversion switch in them they arent constant 2wd all of a sudden they will switch back on something to do with the front driveshaft but with the r32 gts4 its all good i just swiych on 2wd and its stays on untill i turn it off

Not quite right mate..

With the 33 and 34 4wd systems, there is always a certain amount of preload on the transfer case, so turning off the computer doesn't remove all the mechanical link. Therefore if you throw a 33 or 34 on a 2wd dyno and only pull the fuse and expect it to be ok, you will most likely toast your transfer case clutch pack.

It doesn't all of a sudden come back on...

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
