33 Gts4s...whos Got The Fastest/sexiest/best?

[WYTSKY]

Hey guys,

I don't personally know anyone else out there who owns a 33 gts4,have spoken to a few people quickly, but thought this might be a good place to introduce yourself and see who else owns this rarer type of skyline.

Also.. just for the fun of it... wanted to know if anyone has a more powerful 33 gts4 then mine

i'll start...

Car + engine:

33 GTS4 s1 with an rb25de+T

Mods:

Hypergear tr43, nismo 740cc injectors, z32, walbro fuel pump, powerfc + commander, see signature for rest

Power:

Currently at 230rwkw... soon at 250-260.

Comments:

in the next year or so plan to drop in a GTR engine with GTSS's attached and have some real fun

Pics:

Thanks guys

Adam

Hot ride!!!

but hey man dont bother with the rb26; i wantd to have it done in 2002 but many tuners i spoke to said it couldnt be done; but hey things have come a long way.

best keep your original motor as its a bit of hassle with engineering etc; just rebuild your motor with some forgies and rb26 or turbo rods.

much cheaper and less faaarkin' round.

[WYTSKY]

thanks mate,

yeh I am hoping for the 26 but stilll iffy... I have the same options I did when I first turboed the car.

1. sell car, buy gtr

2. swap engine

3. do up this engine even more and forge... which I am tempted to do because I know mine is a good engine

must look into it more!

Cheers

[rev210]

option 1 is best.

[GTS4WD]

Nah.. dont buy a GTR, do the swap!..

Gts4's are uncommon as they are.. do the conversion and its even more unique!

Even better, De-badge it, or put GTS badges on it!

Btw. What 4wd torque controller do you have?

How effective is it? Is there much more grip with it?

cheers,

mmm.. thats right chris.... we gts4 people think alike ... thats what I want.. even more unique  

yeh the 4wd torque controller helps a fair bit in the wet.... I got it when the car was non turbo.... did not make a single difference but now with some power it is helpful.

the controller is called xtreme troque split controller or xtsc or something like that. I can get the name for you when I get home if you are interested... they are about 200-250ish off ebay... four wires soldiered into your 4wd computer under your centre console and your done! whats great about it is if you have a 32 there is a switch on it that can be soldiered into your 4wd computer that at the flick of a switch you have 2/4wd cuz mines 33 and our 4wd system is electronic like yours with fuses, I still have to take out the front drive shaft on the dyno

still asking... any 33 gts4 with more power then me?! otherwise I want to put in fastest 33 gts4 into my sig :D :D

[Johnny]

Dont swap for a gtr; if you forge your engine and run a bigger turbo you can make similar power to a gtr but still use your car everyday.

I drove my gts-4 for 30,000kms everywhere!!! no1 keyed it or bumped into it etc. Its perfect; 4wd turbo without the turning circle of a gtr.

I make a big fuss over this turning circle thing and thats why my gtr has never been parked....well only at autobarn because the carpark is big and empty....well not busy etc.

oh and most powerful gts-4 r33......im sure you are.

r32 gts-4; i know of one in nz which ran low 10's....RIPS i believe like 8 years ago

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

pretty sure the high octane boys did up a 32gts4 a few years ago that ran mid 11's on its first track day

might have had an rb26 in it... cant quite remember now

[WYTSKY]

look, im not saying no to either of the 2 ideas... but Jonny I did some thinking... what do you think is better? just to give you an idea what is going through my mind and why I am so confused.

I could get a gtr engine, attempt to get engineers paperwork, etc... chuck on some gtss's get a real responsive 300-330kw and the motor still looks stock so popo arent going to be too bad....

Or... (this is why I now am confused)

forge my engine, strap on a trust td06 and fang hard... its a hard decision because I went in sam's (dr.drift) new 32 gtst 4door he's got with the main mod being a copy td06 at 260rwkw and 16ish psi... it absolutely fanged... was fantastic to drive and left tracks in every gear... and sam said his mate has a 350ish kw gtr and recons this thing would beat it up to about 120km/h. but its got an external gate and is completly illegal.. the popo would bend me over... thats more what i am concerned about as well...

now what you think??

BTW>>> Awsum to hear about my power being the most outa these

[Johnny]

Hey mate, well you could go for a bolt on gt-rs turbo which looks stock enough and makes great power!

basically you buy an rb26 for 4grand (maybe more) you dont know how long its gonna last where a new forged motor is almost new and tough.

gt-ss or 2860-7 or -5 are 2500-3000 + dumps and fronts

Think about this then; i got a quote from rajab racing in 2002 for $14,500 for a full rebuild with ball-bearing turbo, forgies, turbo rods, injectors, fuel pump, turbo coils, front mount ic, dumps and full 3inch exhaust.

All labour included and tuned with a Motec.

now thats a big dollar figure considering r33 gts-t are going for around that price now!!!!

Now im thinking: sell your car and buy the turbo model because although parts have come down alot you'll still be looking at past 10k and thats just not right.

But then again if you buy a gts-t; then it will be probably stockish with zorst and cooler

[POLICE]

Everything looks real chic except the rear skyline light-up garnish,

not my cup of tea but nice job with the interior,

I got the exact layout of lights except the neons,

got bored of too much blue and slapped on some green.

[WYTSKY]

sorry lost me a little bit jonny... are you saying I should sell the car then get a gtst and drop a 10k forged engine into it??? btw... before you next post somewhere... thought it was pretty cool your post count is 666 and the chik in ur profile looks a lil devilish

and police... u and the real cops both dont like my garnish... one time a cop picked me up and said it looked gay.... cumming from a balld man with no facial hair... I duno... I think he was more pissed he couldnt prove my car was overpowered cuz its a gts4 and they dont have the specs for my car..

also.. i thought about different colours... but then I didnt want the car to look play-fun-house sorta rainbow... so stuck with blue!

[WYTSKY]

UPDATE:

got my final tune from Sam a couple of days ago, absolutely wrapped with the response he's added to the car.

I gained about 20-40kw over all from 2600-5000 while still keeping the same top end power, im sure i will want more soon , but i am more about response over high kw.

What do you guys think of this?

[jay1]

nice dude nice

[sydking]

cant wait to turbo my GTS4, i love the idea of keeping the blue GT badges and no sign of a turbo unless your looking under the bonnet. Sleeper route is the way to go in my opinion, i love the idea of a GTR but theres to many idiots out and about.

Ive still got a year and a bit on my Greens so ive got plenty of time to look for the perfect motor, I think im sold on the idea of an RB26dett, or a RB25DET from a stagea. No doubt it would be cheaper and less headaches just selling and buying a GTR but its just not the same.

A unique car indeed

[Luciano]

the Stagea 25DET is a killer, easy conversion for the 33 gts4.

We did the conversion in my cousin's car (user: Mr.Massive). Purchased bare engine from JIS in SA, used as many bits as we could from his then current 25DE, coils, starter motor, power steering, oil pressure sender, AFM, etc etc. Just needed to swap the N/A engine sump onto the Stagea motor (so the front & rear diff ratios matched). Then the cool stuff - adding on all the aftermarket bits, Z32 ECU remapped with NisTune, close to 200atw with an r34 turbo @ around 10psi.

200kw atw/25DET + ATESSA = one fast GTS4. Bang for buck.

I f**kin love the thing more than my car...!

[bludger178]

Hey mate, im just wondering if you put an RB26DETT in your GTS-4 ???

[dori34]

he didnt put a 26 in, hes still running a de+t with a big ass garrett turbo and pulling 270-280~ rwkw.
