GTS4 & GTR similar?

[FLO]

Lookig at puting complete GTR drive line(motor,box rear cradle,all suspension) into a GTS4 can it be done? is the floor pan and rails same as GTR

thanks.

AFAIK, everything is interchangeable, except perhaps the rear cradle (not sure).

RB26s have been stuck in GTSts, and I know the suspension is the same.

[Duncan]

yes whole front subframe is the same, in fact we used a gts4 one in our race gtr

But I think brakes, suspension, ecu are different

euncan you cheaterer... soiling a gtr with gts4 trash

any problems faced with the drive shafts and the axles being changed over?

[Duncan]

ahh good point we used the gtr hubs, driveshafts etc etc

just the gts4 subframe, suspension points, power steer, control arms etc

[funkymonkey]

most excellent... one of my mates is contemplating a 4 door gtr conversion (down to gtr style rear quarter panels n the lot)... will help him heaps.

[Duncan]

hmm OK maybe now is the time to mention I am talking about a 2 door gts4 front cut.

Maybe the 4 door is the same.

Maybe not

[funkymonkey]

is there a difference in the drivetrain of the 2 doors n 4 doors? I know the chassis itself is a lil longer... come to think of it, the wheelbase is slightly longer too...

Well I did the GTR conversion on my GTS4 2 door and the rear cradle is the same, so i just changed the Diff and left the cradle the GTS4 one, the rear brakes are the same as the GTR ones, so just change the front ones ( rotors and calipers) as the hubs are the same too, suspension is the same but it will be slightly differant rate on the GTR and you'll need to cut some more holes and enlarge some to allow for the intercooler piping, apart from that the rest is just bolt up stuff, unless your doing the auto to manual aswell, the fire wall has no recess for the boosted clutch that the GTR has, so i used a r31 clutch master, and you'll need to cut out the centre console for the shifter as the GTS4 auto shifters are cable.

Thanks heap's for the imput.Dose any one else know if the RB26 loom will plug into the gts4 loom down near the ecu?plugs look similar,have a power fc for GTR want to use it in conversion as well. Also what about ATTESA contols main comp (under parcel shelf) and Gsensor(under console)?

[MegaGTS4]

Yeah the loom will plug straight in down near the ECU, the g-sensor is the same on the gts4, so i didn't change it and it works fine, dont know about the attessa computer though cause i left mine the gts4 one.
