Are R33 GTS4's any good ?

[EXIT]

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 ?

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!" )

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.

how much does it cost to convert an auto to manual??

[Warpspeed]

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.

hippy i think it costs about 2g to change an auto to a manuel.

im getting an auto in a few weeks but will prolly just put a B and M shifter in it. they're only a few hundred i think.

have u guys seen High Octane 3?

thats exactly what they did, buy a r32 gts4 and droped a 600hp Rb26dett in it!:uh-huh:

[Warpspeed]

Yeah INASNT your right. A GTS-4 plus a GTR front cut will easily get you the most bang for your buck.

The great unwashed, and the ignorant, will probably think the -4 on the end stands for 4 cylinders, Hehehe.

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 ....
