hey guys, i have been a rev head and lover of jap cars since i can remember, and its all most time to folk out my savings for a shiny nissan toy.

well, im not to sure on wat model skyline that is best on the road. Or what skyline i should get.

my bro thinks that the "GTS4" is faster then the "GTS25t" cos he says there is no wheelspin wen u punch it off the mark.. he also says i wont "gift wrap" it around a pole..

is this true? will the gts4 beat a gts25t on a quarter run. or is there a big weight difference, because of the 4wd.. is there a big difference in the way they both drive ?

there is heaps of different models or types of skylines.. like non turbo's and gt-watevers.. wat are they and wats the difference?

lol...

um... depends which model you are talking about! R32 is like the older squarer shape, which came after the Aussie R31's that were sold here.. then there is the R33 which is the curvier shape. And then there is the R34 which is back more to the squarer shape, and a lot more modern.

The R33 (or R34 for that matter) did not come in a turbo GTS4, so if you like the shape of the 33, then you're out of luck there.

What is a popular choice is the R32 GTS4 because it has both the RB20DET (turbo) and the 4WD system as used in the GTR's. Therefore a mildly modified GTS4 should be able to beat a similar R32 or R33 GTS-T in a straight line due to being able to get off the line quicker. After that it would be a pretty much even race. A lot would come down to drive skill.

I think the weight difference between an R32 GTS-T and R32 GTS4 is around 50kg.. probably not noticeable enough to matter.

As for handling, any skyline is not going to handle terribly.. but the GTS4 will of course handle better around corners and things.

GTS4 is not fulltime AWD so its not idiot proof, but i guess its a bit safer under all conditions. The 4WD in the GTS4 basically engages power to the front wheel when it senses a loss of traction.

Turbocharging the R33 GTS4 is a common dream, but not as easy as it sounds. Do a search on here, i remember its been covered a few times.

U don't need a 4WD skyline to challenge most of those rexes out there. Few mods on a RWD skyline and you'll be fine :)

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a · Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Hiya!

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!
