R32 Gts4 With Rb30/26Dett Is This Correct

[Bronx]

rs4s, has same atessa as 33gtr, same part time awd, and yes, the 260rs was a factory rb25 vehicle, and came with a rb25 plate. autech bought the rb25 stageas and just swapped engine, front/rear diff and shafts. other than that, its same as every other stagea.

The AWD/4WD thing cropped up in another thread a few days ago, and I made this post:

Technically speaking, if a car has 4 wheels and is an AWD, then it's also 4WD. AWD is just a marketing term that someone came up with when they didn't want their everyday passenger car to be confused with a Cruiser/Paj/Patrol type car.

Generally, people consider off road type cars with things like high/low range gearboxes and lockable front hubs to be 4WD, and cars like your WRX/Liberty to be AWD. I'd put the Stag in the AWD camp, because it doesn't have a high/low range box, doesn't have lockable front hubs, doesn't have good ground clearance and wouldn't be much good off road. Landcruiser is a weird one because it's always in 4WD mode, but I'd still class it as 4WD because of the ground clearance, high/low range box and lockable front hubs. Foresters are a weird one too because some (all?) of them have a high/low range box, but I'd still go with AWD because of the lack of lockable front hubs, average ground clearance and of course it's a Subaru.

Basically, the way I see it, if it's the kind of car that's great for 4WD trails, it's a 4WD. If it's a passenger car that has all wheels driven for performance/safety reasons and it's shite off-road, it's an AWD.

All you are talking is slang. im talking about technical differences. all is all and 4 isn't always all. mong:)

As for this, you're both talking slang. There are no "technical" differences between 2 acronyms. All they are is acronyms. What matters most is how people interpret them. There is no difference between the MEANING of the 2 acronym's, provided the vehicle in question has 4 wheels. The difference is what people think they mean.

So everyone, call it AWD or 4WD, it honestly doesn't matter. It's the same damn thing. Just don't call your stag/GTR a fourbie

well as far as i knew the AWD meant you didnt have to lock hubs in when back in the 80's the 4WD'd like patrol required you to get out the car and lock the front hubs in by a switch to engage them.

my car.

Differences are

gts4 has:

gts-t brakes

RB20 spec gearbox

shorter ratio diff

gts-t body (no flared guards)

gts-t interior trim.

Everything else is identical to gtr AFAIK.

so in other words, it much closer to a GTS-t than GTR. all it really shares with the GTR is the ATESSA system, pretty much everything else is GTS-t spec.

Not sure what the comment is trying to prove? yes and no? it's much closer than say an astra?

Afaik 32 gts4 dont share the same attessa anyway so its all different.
