Worth modding a GTS-T?

[franks]

alot of SR owners wont be happy with you! SR's are great motors! why wouldnt you spend the money on the SR? in any case, id love to monitor the progress of this project so i can rub it into my SR loving friends....

as for big hp in an RWD car....i think its pointless to be quite honest, unless you have tubs and slicks, no traction is an absolute nuisance!!!

get a GTR. a better platform to modify from PLUS the added traction with ATTESSA.

There is a guy with a R33 GTS-t here in North Carolina, pulling alright numbers with Power FC and mild upgrades. I am in the process of putting a RB25det motor in my s14 from a R33 gts-t. Hope to pull good numbers considering the weight differences between the Skyline and 240sx.

Steve: The reason it is so much to legalize is because there is only one place in the whole country that can legalize the cars. Motorex. So basically, they can charge whatever they want really. Not like i have anywhere else to take it. They have to do the whole VIN number, gauge cluster change, emissions, etc... to make it up to american standards. American standards suck.

Hmm, no good. Just a thought, if you can get GTSts so cheap, what is the cost difference to GTR? and what is the compliance cost difference?

I cannot say too many bad things about the GTSt, apart from the fact I own one. But, I must agree with franks, there are times a bit more traction would be good. Every time you go through a round of mods, you got to think of new ways to get the power down.

Then again, nittos are pretty plentiful over there - they'll get you sorted;) If you know, what is the price of nitto 555 275/40/17s over there. I am currently looking at trying to aquire some and would like to know cost options?

Another thought, buy a GTS4, as you will be changing turbo, manifolds etc etc - the cost of converting to turbo wouldnt be much more than fully building a GTSt? About the only extra you may need is to enlarge the sump.

How is the rest of the GTS4 driveline compared to GTR? Would it hold?

just get a GTR

it all comes down to how long you want to hold onto the car. if i was to spend my money all over again, id go the gtr. dont get me wrong i love my gts-t but i cant help but think now how id rather be stuck with the gtr.
