Gts Or Gts4

[G-T-R]

I've been looking at getting a r33 lately as I have wanted one since I was 14 and now looks like a good time to start looking for one

And as I am a green p plater with high power restrictions means no turbo for me so n/a it is

But I want to know your opinions on 2 different cars in the gts and gts4

Atm I'm thinkin the gts 4 but I hear it's more petrol hungry because it's heavier and then an awd would need more maintenance then a rwd

And I'm not a guy that really rips burn outs so awd won't hurt me

Would love the gtr drive train and transmission to because then when I'm off my p's I can get something like a gtr engine to chuck into it

So yeah give me ur opinions

Cheers

well i have a GTS4 and i can tell you that the extra 100-150 kgs that the 4wd system weights wont make much of a difrence to your fuel consumption.

And there is no extra maintence because its an AWD.

and even after you get off your Ps u just do a turbo conversion you will have a single turbo 4wd car which is a baby GTR in my books.

Think about it dont jump that was a mistake i made with my first car take your time

Like hanibal said.

The 150 odd kg doesn't hut fuel consumption too much with no more maintancence that needs to be done than a GTST.

What are you using the car for? If its just a regular steet car id highly recommend a GTS4. The ATTESSA system is an extra saftey net to catch you when things get hairy.

The only down side to a GTS4 is that you can really feel the extra 150kg being thrown around and lugged around.

Another downside of a 33 GTS4 is that its not as easy as a 32 to lock into RWD. On the upside the ATTESSA system is quicker a 33 than a 32.

The reason I bough a GTS4 was for the extra grip (even though its now being used as a drift biatch) .. and there is a HEAP of it. I also like the notion of RWD and AWD car without having to think. Its also different.. GTST's are spreading like AIDs.. so why not get something different?

My vote is for a GTS4

[G-T-R]

Yeah the only prob is gettin a gts4 not much ppl have them to sell I guess as I don't find much

Saw ur gts4 u had for sell Hannibalk1ing would love to buy it if I sold my current car and got some cash together

And had a lower price...no offense

Keep it coming guys wanna hear more ppls info

[HannibalK1ng]

hehe mate im sure you can understand that i jack the price up so that i get what i want and that the person buying has the feeling that they got cash off the price so yea .... cause say i wanted 12k and it was advertised at the price the buyer would want to bring it down and i cant afford to do that.

Im looking to probley start being serious about selling in 2-3 weeks and yea if i cant get what i want for it to buy my r34gtt i will most defently turbo it.

the idea of launching a single turbo skyline with the 4wd system is awesome makes me smile haha!... but hmm gets me thinking ill miss the 4wd system for sure...

[clip14]

a gts can be made awd as well if it came down to it.

[G-T-R]

yeah mate I understand

And would cost a fair bit to change a gts from rwd to 4wd tho

[G-T-R]

Is there much difference between a series 1 and 2 gts4 other then the usual differences

[HannibalK1ng]

as far as i know it only came out in an S2

[G-T-R]

i found a r33 for sale that the guy says its a gts4 and its either a 93-94 cant remember tho

[HannibalK1ng]

oh ok then im not to sure

[G-T-R]

not gettin much feedback on this topic

[HannibalK1ng]

to be honest man its what you can find.... there arnt that many NA r33 manuals going around and even less GTS4 so yea not much to say.... if i were u and could get a GTS4 get it... if not a GTS is still good

[G-T-R]

Might even have to wait the next yr and a half till I get my full licence and save as much as I can and just get a turbo...see what happens

[G-T-R]

Any1 out there got some good stuff to say about a gts

[GTS4WD]

a gts can be made awd as well if it came down to it.

?

Explain

[shaun123]

lol.. dont know why you would get a NA gts4, gts r33's are already pretty slow.. im sure the gts4 ones are very sluggish with the added weight and no power increase. you'll have grandmas in camrys overtaking you

[G-T-R]

It's a bit hard to get a turbo when your on restrictions tho

So what else would some one do that wants a skyline?

[KezR33]

Any1 out there got some good stuff to say about a gts

Buy the GTS4, kit it, respray it, buy some nice rims, re-do the interior and all that other cosmetic bits.

Then in 3 years buy this;

or drop a fully rebuild RB26/30 into it.

That way you can keep your precious baby that you've worked on for years, without having to sacrifice it for something more grunt.

Thought I may add in my 2 cents...

1. There are s1 gts4's.... mine is an example...

2. There is a real advantage in a gts4 over gts's and gtst's, that being that they arent a comon version of the skyline at all, especially in 33 form. My car is turboed and I have been pulled over a number of times, the cops allways start trying to throw power to weight figures at me about too much power per ton so they can give me a 200 dollar fine..... but as soon as I say its a gts4 not a gtst, they go whats that.... I explain the car is awd (like the gtr) so heavier, they go back to their little hand book of common hoon car specs to do the conversion and it always comes out fine because my car is not on their list...... so even though it is more powerful then what is legal, because they dont have the offical specs on the vehicle, they cannot prove it.

3. It is really handy to have attessa helping you out when you need, and I also have a 4wd torque split controller, which basiclly allows me to decide how much power I want delivered to the front and rear... wheather it be 5% front and 95% rear like stock, right up to 50-50%.

4. Im off my p's in about 4 months, I am starting to save up to drop in a 26 (or forge) havent decided yet... but what I do know is that if I want to drop in a 26, its much easier then in a gtst.
