GTS-4 Vs. GT-R


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between the GTS-4 and the GT-R. Mainly concerned about the AWD system, are they both the same or are their many differences. Also just any other basic differences minus the engine for obvious reasons.

Just curious as will be purchasing a R32 soon enough and as i already have a R33 GT-R engine, would it be cheaper to place the engine into a GTS-4?

Any help would be appreciated.

hi

gtr has different diff ratios - so may have to change the rear diff to match the gtrs front diff ratio to the gts-4 rear ratio- unless you use gts-4s front diff also.

gtr has mechanical rear lsd, gts 4 has viscous

gtr has different ratios in gearbox and i think also has heavier duty gears in box, tho box looks same on outside.

4wd system is the same - variable torque split to front wheels

chassis is the same

suspension takes same parts although spring rates may be different

wiring is very similar - see gtr workshop manual covers gtr and gts-4

gtr has thicker front discs and has directionally vented rotors, gts-4 has same rotors left and right - pads are same for each tho.

gtr has better seats, gives slightly more rear leg room in back

gtr is a 4 seater, gts-4 5 seater if they have small bums

gts 4 has same driveshafts, swaybars,

gtr has of course aluminium bonnet and front guards

both have abs brakes

gtr has super hicas 4ws as opposed to normal hicas on gts-4.

gtr ( more aggressive to cope with the extra power that gtr has??) may have a diff rate that 4wd comes on-?? not sure tho

prob a few others, but these are the main ones

hope that helps

Stephen

    • You've given zero info about your setup. Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why. Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989. Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.
    • Depending on your use case, prop valve will almost always be a better choice.
    • I think... in the US, Silvermax is the equivalent of BC Racing, i.e. cheap Taiwanese built suspension that gets turned for "local" conditions. Back in the day in Australia, you could get MCA street for about $1300 and they were awesome. Don't know about now... In saying that, my real world TEIN experience: I got some street basis z for my old Liberty (BR9), and they were awesome ($800-odd delivered from demon-tweeks in the UK). so Don't discount TEIN
    • yeah my RedBull X2010 on Grand Valley is only good enough for bronze... I can't hit silver arrgh.
    • 100% this. Long ago, I had a guy from the R31 club who set my BNR32 up (adjustable arms all round). He did an awesome job, was an after-work kinda thing where I had to bring a slab of beer. My car never drove better, and I stupidly got a random tyre shop to check the toe angles when I changed tyres, and they ruined the alignment. tl:dr- it takes a lot of skill to set up your car lowered from factory properly, and is worth paying the $200+ it takes.
