different skyline models..

[LastTemptation]

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.

thanks mate, if i chose to turbocharge the r33 gts4 u think it would perform, run those darn rex's?

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
