Been looking around for a Skyline for the last few weeks and stubled across a GTS4 the other day. Are they any good, or just plain too slow since they're N/A ? If anyone out there has one, what times have you run the 400m in ? Is the 4wd handling a lot better than in a rwd ?

Hmmm... they certainly still look nice and given the savings in both the cost of the car (over a turbo) and insurance wise, I might be tempted! :)

Opinions anyone ?

I have been looking for one of these myself for a couple of months, they are a rather rare beast.

There are two that I know about, PVAs car, and another for sale in Adelaide at the moment. Standard they are certainly no rocketship, but have a lot of good features that come standard.

It would be rather easy to add a turbo (or two) and end up with a rather quick car, for around half the cost of a GTR. If you buy a GTSt, it would be just about impossible to fit 4WD or ABS onto it later.

Smoking the tyres and sliding around all over the place may be fun, but it is neither fast nor safe, particularly in the wet in my opinion.

Was after a black one, but gunmetal is nice too - how much are you asking ? How fast will it do the 400m ? (whaddayamean "I've never raced it!" :D )

did I mention it is AUTO... :) COnversion to manual can be made

anyway if you still interest it PM me.... Give you the details.

cheers

I have seen gearboxes go for about two grand. then you need a clutch, flywheel, lots of small parts. You need to fit a clutch pedal.

It sounds like a heap of real expensive trouble to me. I am waiting to buy/import a manual. They do not cost any more to buy, so why bother.

I've been driving a R33 gts-4 sedan for just over a year now, it's not to bad just don't get a sedan...... it is very hard to get parts for it, no info is available so it is a see if the part fits deal.

Also the brakes and stud patern is an issue if stock.

Still a fun car ....:D

New Breaks and Rotors can be purchased on DBA (Disk Brake Australia) australia. I have sent my old Rotors to them and they told me they will produced them... so if anyone need new Rotors and Brake pads give them a Ring...

it's 4 stud GTS-4 Rotors etcs...etc.

cheers

Joe :D

I hope this helps people!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
