R32 Information.

[skyline_crazy]

Hey guys, I'm saving up for a nissan skyline, and I am hoping to have one by the summer.

I myself love skylines period, and IT doesnt matter to me what model I get. I will probably get an 89 GTS-Type-M, because thers no way in hell I could afford a GTR.

But someone told me if i'm looking at a GTS dont bother, I just shook my head at them and said you dont understand.

Anyways, Can you guys give me some specs of the GTS-Type-M... How much hp does it have, what can IT do *** 0 - 60*** most importantly... what is it top speed.

Also the non turbo gts.. specs on that to, Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Now thats the *proper* way to post here on GTRC

(too bad I am at work and don't have the time to answer those Q's)...oh J!?

Well I will asume you ment the GTS-T Type M there was a GTS Type S I belive. The Type M is 214 HP RB20DET turbo charged. What the type M gave you was the HICAS steering system plus a few other goodies like interior dress up. The Type M is what I am going for but dont be so quick as to buy the first one you see. The est price range (including being shipped, customs and such) is in the 7,500 - 11,000 dollar range.

The GTS- 4 - is all wheel drive like the GTR.
The GTS-T - is a rwd turbo
The GTS - is a civic

Hope that helps!

People tell you not to bother with the GTS because they have the RB20DE motor which is not turbocharged. It pushes around 155hp I beleive. And they sell for somewhat same price as the GTS-t which have 215hp.

Our own R32 GTS-T has compiled some specs on this subject - http://gtrcanada.com/JohnnyZ/Skyline...20page%201.jpg

(note that the GTS-4 is listed as having an RB25DE, this is what the R33 had not the R32 - the R32 had an RB20DET same as the GTS-t)

Also there is a good article on Autospeed about the GTS-t - http://www.autospeed.com/cms/A_0853/...popularArticle

Top speed I'm not sure of - to be honest I've never really checked it out as mine will be faster than stock in short order

Now the Type-M thing, I would be interested to know what the exact differences were between the Type-M and the garden variety GTS-t. HICAS, I didn't know about - maybe if a plain Jane one doesn't have it, maybe I should get a non-Type-M because I was going to get rid of the HICAS anyway. I believe the Type-M has an aero kit as well.

Calling a GTS a Civic is a bit harsh don't you think I think the GTS is an interesting option for someone who just wants a sporty, reliable commuter, and doesn't want to follow the herds in their Chevys and Hondas. Either that or you could swap in a firebreathing 330hp RB33DE with triple sidedraft Webers and a 150hp shot of nitrous and go GT-R hunting

Hey if you want just a straight GTS more power to you.

But i look at it this way, if you get a mustang why would you get a 4cyl or 6cyl?
If you get a camaro why buy the V6?
If your gonna get a skyline spend the extra 3-4K and get what it should be - a GTR.

[spikeone]

think the type m has a different steering wheel, bigger brakes, aero kit and maybe different wheels

[R32_GTS-T]

ya the type m gives you hicas, the sport steering wheel, rear wing, some other dress up and I belive the 16X6.5 JJ rims with upgraded brakes. I think its more then the GTS-T that cam standard with 15X5/5.5 JJ rims but alot of stock GTS-T's I think have upgraded on their own to the 16X6.5 JJ wheels.

Thank you for all the information.

GTS-Type-M sounds like the real thing, one step under the GTR.
Although all that information was about the GTS-T, not the GTS-M
If the GTS t, can go 0 - 60 in around 7 seconds, Will the gts-M.. provide the same performance or will it be abit faster.

[Murphy]

There is no GTS-M as such; they are both GTS-t but the Type M designation represents an option package you could get. The engines are the same between the two.

Moving to FAQ. Someone's bound to ask this question again.....and again.....and again.....

[Daemos]

Or you could do something even crazier, swap an SR20DET in the place of the RB20, shave some weight off, and make 400 whp then go GTR hunting

Then to save even MORE weight, remove the HICAS
(It's all about the power to weight ratio!)

Anyone know the weight balance on the GTS-T?

[icydude]

so does anyone know the top speed of a stock Bnr32? with the limiter removed that is.

that's what people told me, but the way i see it is that if i wanted a fast car, i could just get a silvia cause it seems like a silvia with an sr20det can do anything a gts-t type m can do. so you're paying fo the rarity or whatever. but the thign is if you get a local 240, do the rhd swap and the sr20 swap, it'd cost you more than it would to just import a skyline. (also skylines look way better)

also if you import a skyline, you can get one sooner than a silvia/180sx with an sr20det cause those wont be eligable to bring over till 2006
